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!

The participating teachers engaged in a series of workshops and activities designed to equip them with practical teaching strategies and innovative educational tools, ensuring they are well-prepared to create a positive impact in their classrooms.

Empowering Early Childhood Education
MMP’s 32nd ECE level 1 Seminar
The recently concluded 32nd Early Childhood Education Level 1 seminar, held from June 20-22, 2024, marks the commencement of Mission Ministries Philippines' Year-Round Seminars. This enlighteningevent brought together early childhood educators and practitioners via Zoom, focusing on the theme “Rekindling Your Passion in Early Childhood Education”.
The three-day seminar showcased speakers primarily from the University of the Philippines. Their presentations were largely based on the philosophy adopted by Mission Ministries Philippines. It was impressive to see how the speakers connected their content to the Developmentally Appropriate Philosophy endorsed by NAEYC (National Association for the Education of Young Children)
The seminar highlighted the new Matatag Curriculum of the Department of Education, underscoring the government’s recognition of its vital role in shaping Filipino children. This curriculum aims to unleash the full potential of the new generation for national progress. MMP's curriculum closely aligns with Matatag, positioning MMP as a pioneer, having implemented it from the outset. Part of the Matatag curriculum includes teaching 21st-century skills such as communication, collaboration, critical thinking, and creativity, which are also integrated into MMP’s Kidprenuer curriculum. This approach aims to cultivate an entrepreneurial mindset in children, preparing them to be future leaders not only in business but also in serving the Kingdom of God.
As the field of early childhood education continues to evolve, events like this seminar play a crucial role in fostering a community of informed and passionate educators committed to providing high-quality, developmentally appropriate education for all children.
