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.
Strengthening Impact Through Strategic Partnerships: MMP’s Engagement with PCMN

Mission Ministries Philippines (MMP) continues to grow its impact by partnering with organizations that share its mission. One of its key partners is the Philippine Children’s Ministries Network (PCMN), a nationwide network of churches and groups focused on the well-being of Filipino children.
MMP’s Executive Director now serves on PCMN’s 2025 Board of Trustees, reflecting their strong collaboration. This partnership highlights MMP’s dedication to working together for nation-building, child development, and community transformation—bringing hope, education, and faith to more children and families across the country.
CRASH COURSE IN EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION
For the first time in over a decade, MMP took again a bold step of combining ECE Level 1 and Level 2 into a single Crash Course Seminar—a unique training opportunity that brought together both MMP teachers and administrators in one learning space.
Held via Zoom on April 24–26, 2025, the seminar was filled with joyful engagement as participants explored key topics such as Developmentally Appropriate Philosophy in Early Childhood Education, Building Literacy and Numeracy Skills (Practical Techniques in Early Reading and Math), Integrating Biblical Values and Perspective in the Classroom Daily Routines, Becoming a Steward Leader in Early Childhood Program. It was truly a rich and meaningful learning journey for everyone involved.
What a milestone in professional growth and collaboration!
Parenting Seminars

MMP partner schools continue to affirm the vital role parents play in achieving our shared goal: the holistic development of every child. One of the most impactful ways to strengthen home-school collaboration is through Parenting Seminars.
On February 22, 2025, another meaningful seminar was held, facilitated by none other than MMP Director, Teacher Chona. With passion, creativity, and a heart for families, she led the session using interactive methods such as play-based learning, case studies, and hands-on workshops. The event took place at Holy Castle Learning Center, one of MMP’s long-standing partner schools since the early 1990s.
The seminar served as a beautiful reminder to parents of their God-given responsibility to train up their children. At the same time, by enrolling their children in MMP partner schools, they are entrusting part of that responsibility to educators—a humbling yet honorable calling for every teacher and staff member.
Dear Parents, it is truly a joy and privilege to partner with you in shaping the future of your children!
Supporting Early Literacy and Language Development

Mission Ministries Philippines, Inc. began the new year with an online seminar entitled “Supporting Early Literacy and Language Development,” a refresher course offered via Zoom held in January 25, 2025. It was a fruitful session where 90 participants learned effective strategies to foster and enrich children’s language development in early childhood settings.

Following this, on March 15, 2025, MMP once again ventured into the vibrant world of Sunday School by facilitating a seminar titled “Revitalizing Your Sunday School Classes.” The goal was to inspire churches to transform their Sunday School programs into holistic learning environments, where children not only enjoy Bible lessons but also engage in meaningful play through activity corners.

Earlier, on March 8, 2025, MMP also conducted a Sunday School Seminar for teachers at Good News Community Fellowship. Interestingly, this church also operates a preschool, with MMP serving as its technical partner—providing support through a Christian curriculum and developmentally appropriate teaching strategies for running an effective preschool program.
MMP firmly believes that, in God’s perfect time, churches will embrace this concept known as “Developmentally Appropriate Sunday Classes,” where learning happens through play!
