Little Children of the Philippines (LCP) was incorporated in Cebu City in December of 1989 as a subsidiary of Little Children of the World (LCW). At about the same time, property was acquired in Claytown, Daro in Dumaguete City where LCP's center of operations is located. A Mission House was built in 1990 on the newly acquired property in order to provide housing for LCP offices and classrooms and as a guest house for local and international volunteers. This was soon followed by an open-air auditorium/chapel and a girls' dormitory, a health clinic in Taclobo, and a farm in Candau-ay for livelihood training.
