This study determined the level of implementation of the Learning Continuity Plan for Kindergarten Learners in the City Division of Lucena, which would come up with a basis for an action plan. The study employed a descriptive type of research. The respondents were the Ninety-Five (95) Kindergarten Teachers in the City Division of Lucena. The school profile mainly consists of those from the North District, operates schools for 1 to 10 years, has 21 or more teachers, and more than 1,000 enrollees. Moreover, a very good rating was given on the level of implementation of the Learning Continuity Plan. The Principles of the Learning Continuity Plan revealed that the LCP implementation helped protect the health, safety, and well-being of kindergarten learners, teachers and personnel and prevent the further transmission of COVID-19. Also, along with the Learning Strategies and Modalities, it further showed that the LCP implementation enables the schools to apply Modular Distance Learning for kindergarten learners. There was no significant difference in the Level of Implementation of the Learning Continuity Plan when the respondents were grouped according to school profile. Lastly, the respondents have yet to encounter problems in the implementation of the Learning Continuity Plan (LCP). It revealed that there was not enough budget to sustain the implementation of the LCP.
