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!
