The Methodist Pilley Institute (MPI) began offering a new course - Early Childhood Education – from 7 May 2007. It is also in the process of building additional facilities for the Early Childhood Learning Centre.

Students are not only groomed theoretically on various aspects such as child development, program planning, literacy development, child observation, measurement and evaluation, but also on home school relations, health and safety for young children and special education. They are given hands-on opportunities to learn how to set up and manage learning centres in the learning lab. Students will be assigned practicum sessions in child care centres, preschools and kindergartens.

Among the students, we also have two existing kindergarten teachers. Despite their hectic daily schedule as teachers and full time mothers, they still manage to cope very well with their studies.
