September Highlights

CEdNet

On September 6, 2025, Mission Ministries Philippines (MMP) marked its first formal partnership with the Christian Educators’ Network (CEDNET), the education sectoral ministry of the Philippine Council of Evangelical Churches (PCEC).

As an initial engagement, MMP participated in CEDNET’s 5th Convention, where it was given a booth to showcase the Kidpreneur Curriculum. We continue to seek God’s guidance as we explore future collaborations, with the desire to connect with Christian schools that are part of CEDNET’s growing network.

La-Salle Orientation

Since 2010, MMP has partnered with De La Salle University through its NSTP program, providing students with meaningful service and advocacy experiences. Recently, through the GEPCOM program, several student groups collaborated with MMP to produce advocacy materials such as posters, infographics, and videos—truly a blessing to the ministry.

Reviving the Flame of Learning: MMP Returns to the Classrooms”

Busy Brain Tutorial Center

The pandemic season significantly affected MMP’s personal connection with its partners. With face-to-face interactions restricted, all trainings were shifted online via Zoom. While this ensured program continuity, it also created barriers to building camaraderie and conducting on-site coaching—particularly for partners in provincial areas.

Recognizing the lasting value of in-person engagement, MMP remains committed to school visits and direct coaching. On September 11, 2025, Teacher Chona visited one of MMP’s partner schools in Tanauan, Batangas City—the Busy Brains Tutorial Center. Serving primarily children with special needs, this school made the visit especially meaningful and impactful.

Great Heights Learning Center of Ilocos Sur

From a humble beginning in a rented space serving only 30 children in year 2010, the Lord has truly expanded the borders of Great Heights Learning Center in Ilocos Sur. After 12 years, God entrusted the school with a 4,000-square-meter lot, and it now serves 300 students, ranging from Preschool to Senior High School.

On September 25–27, 2025, MMP visited the school to conduct teacher training and coaching, as well as to facilitate a seminar entitled “Engaging Parents Effectively.” As part of the visit, a meeting was also held with the school owner, Ma’am Floremin Reolalas, and the Principal, Sir Wilberto Tabutol, to further strengthen the partnership by exploring the offering of BS Early Childhood Education and Special Education.

Truly, this school is living up to its name—Great Heights Learning Center. As the Scripture says in Habakkuk 3:19, “The Sovereign Lord is my strength; He makes my feet like the feet of a deer, He enables me to tread on the heights.”

Jairah Tutorial Center

Jairah Learning Center, founded by Teacher Janneth, first partnered with MMP years ago but paused operations for over five years due to life’s challenges. In 2024, she reopened the center in Sto. Domingo Market, Vigan City, focusing on MMP’s Remedial Reading Program under Non-Formal Early Childhood Education. Though small in scale, her work reflects faithfulness and perseverance—proving that great things begin with small, faithful steps.

Prestigious Organizations Partner with MMP through Early Childhood Publications

Mission Ministries Philippines (MMP) continues to make its mark in Early Childhood Education through strategic partnerships with some of the country’s most respected institutions. Four prestigious organizations—Angat Buhay, UP Center for Integrative and Development Studies–Education Research Program (UP CIDS-ERP), UP College of Education, and UP Integrated School—have chosen to use MMP’s publications in their programs.

Their adoption of MMP’s books serves as strong proof of the quality, credibility, and developmental relevance of these materials. By integrating MMP’s resources into their curriculum and teacher training, these institutions affirm the trust that prominent leaders in Early Childhood Education place in MMP’s work. Together, these collaborations establish MMP’s publications as benchmarks for quality in Early Childhood Education in the Philippines.

For MMP Partners – aren’t we humbly proud for this affirmation from the Lord?

PARTNERSHIP WITH DE LA SALLE UNIVERSITY TAFT

A series of Zoom meetings was conducted with students from De La Salle University (DLSU) under the GEPCOM program (Purposive Communication course), in partnership with COSCA (the university’s social action arm).

Through this partnership, MMP was selected as a featured community organization for the students’ advocacy campaign project. The collaboration focused on developing infographics and videos aimed at raising public awareness about MMP’s mission and impact.

MMP was chosen because of its long-standing role as a community partner aligned with various Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) such as No Poverty, Quality Education, and more.
Most recently, on July 16, a group of DLSU students visited the MMP office to begin their fieldwork. They conducted interviews with the Executive Director and produced video materials to highlight MMP’s programs and advocacies.

Furthermore, another meaningful Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) was signed between Mission Ministries Philippines (MMP) and the Nordic Harvest Mission Foundation – Philippines Branch to establish a partnership in support of Bright Morning Star Child Development Center through its new initiative, the School Readiness Program.

This program is designed to equip young children with foundational skills essential for a smooth transition into formal schooling. The MOA signing took place on May 14, 2025, marking the start of a shared commitment to prepare children for lifelong learning.

We warmly welcome Nordic Harvest Mission Foundation as a valued partner in our mission to transform lives through early childhood education.

New Partners: First Quarter 2025

We are delighted to welcome our new partner schools this year: Alay Pagibig Child Development Center, President Qurino Wesleyan School, Charis Duron Life Project and Christian Academy and Immanuel Christian Learning Center. To formalize these partnerships, a series of MOA signings were conducted via Zoom, marking the beginning of a shared commitment to quality early childhood education. To support their onboarding, a series of activities were conducted to introduce and reinforce our Developmentally Appropriate Early Childhood Program.

One notable event took place on June 28, when two MMP staff members traveled from Manila to Baguio City to conduct a seminar, coaching, and orientation session at Charis Duron Life Project and Christian Academy. The seminar was attended by the teachers, with the highlight being a hands-on personal coaching session and classroom redesign to model a truly developmentally appropriate early childhood learning environment.

Furthermore, an online coaching session was conducted on July 4, 2025, with President Quirino Wesleyan School and Immanuel Christian Learning Center. This was followed by an on-site visitation on July 14, 2025, led by one of our Supervisors, Ms. Claire Santillan. The visit provided a valuable opportunity to personally connect with the school community. Preliminary coaching and support were extended to their teachers and staff during this time.

A follow-up visit is scheduled to take place on February 2026.

Grounded in Theory, Driven by Practice

On July 10–11, 2025, a total of 52 teachers and school leaders participated in a face-to-face practical training held at Roots and Wings Learning Center at Marikina City, one of our partner schools.
This annual event ensures that the learnings from the ECE Level 1 and 2 Crash Course are effectively applied in actual classroom settings.


The seminar was facilitated by Teacher Chona, together with MMP Supervisors Teacher Sundie Victoria from Jubilant Youngsters Academy in Balagtas, Bulacan, Teacher Maricel Miñon from Batasan Foursquare Tutorial Center, Teacher Del, one of our MMP officers and Teacher Christine Fa’ar Nobleza who discussed one of the most engaging and timely topics “Handling Special Children in a Regular Classroom.”


A major highlight of the two-day training was the live demonstration session, where the MMP Supervisors role-played as preschool teachers, while the participants acted as their students.
What a joy it was to witness our MMP teachers engaging in hands-on learning again through a face-to-face platform!

MMP Teachers’ Officers and MMP Supervisors Meeting

“It takes a community to raise a child,” as famously quoted by Hillary Clinton—and this truth was beautifully reflected on May 27, 2025, when MMP held a significant planning meeting with its dedicated partners: the MMP Teachers’ Officers, led by Pastor Precy Vallente, Teacher Cristy Montano, Teacher Delia Casas, Flor Tañag and Teacher Alice Espiritu and our MMP Supervisors, headed by Teacher Sundie Victoria.

The meeting focused on preparations for the upcoming school year opening, as well as exciting upcoming MMP activities such as the 2026 Teachers’ Camp in Boracay, seminars, Children’s Show of Talents, and more.

From the bottom of our hearts, we express our deepest gratitude and appreciation to these MMP heroes. Your commitment and passion make all the difference.

Truly, how can we ever thank you enough?

Kid’s International Learning Academy

It is always a joy to reconnect with our dear friends at Kid’s International Learning Academy (KILA) in Cainta, Rizal. MMP has been regularly invited to facilitate their Teacher Refresher Training, with none other than Teacher Elizabeth King—one of MMP’s most beloved facilitators—consistently leading the sessions.


We are especially proud that KILA’s principal, Miss Joan Ong, is also the main author of our Math Made Easy book. From its humble beginnings as a preschool in 1998, KILA has grown into a full-fledged institution now offering education up to the high school level.


The most recent training was successfully conducted on May 23, 2025.
