A saying goes, 'What is learned in the cradle is carried to the grave'. The period of early childhood is a crucial time for character building. This is the reason why early preschool/nursery school education cannot be over-emphasized enough.
"I sent my child to another kindergarten for two or three months. Its facility and programs were great, but my child, who had previously sung praises to God, started singing worldly songs and using rough language in his manner of speech. I was surprised. I stopped sending him there and sent him to Manmin Kindergarten. At that time, my parents-in-laws and my parents as well told me to just let him go to the one near my house because it was too far from the house to Manmin's school. But I didn't follow their advice. Now they say that it was a good choice because they found my child was different from other children. He was good and gentle."
This was a remark by Deaconess Youngsun Ki who lives in Sangam-dong, Seoul. She is very busy taking her five-year-old son Subaek to Manmin Kindergarten in Guro-dong every morning. But she is still very happy because she trusts in the education of Manmin Kindergarten. Senior Pastor Dr. Jaerock Lee always prays for these children and their teachers teach them with love.
On March 5, 2014 the Manmin Kindergarten of Manmin Central Church held its 31st Entrance Ceremony. Mrs. Boknim Lee, President of Manmin Prayer Center was the speaker and preached a message entitled 'Children Who Are Loved by God and People' based on Proverbs 22:6 and Luke 2:52. Then, the newly appointed President of Manmin Kindergarten, Seminary Student Jaehee Hwang and the class teachers greeted children and their parents.
Manmin Kindergarten opened in December 1983 with motto 'Love' and since then, in Dr. Jaerock Lee's love and care, they have raised and trained children to build foundations of good personality and spirituality. The children have been raised in the truth and the Lord's teaching under the slogan 'I can do anything'. Thus, they behave well with goodness. They don't sing popular worldly songs. They don't use any bad language and they serve their parents and obey them.
Furthermore, they have properly offered up worship services before God from the time they were very young and they have been also learned to discipline themselves through the Word of the Lord. Thus, they don't fight with friends and don't use foul language. They are considerate of others, are able to give and share, and make their hearts good and beautiful. They also experience the power of God that is written in the Bible and grow up to be children who love God foremost of all things.
Sister Soeun Kim was conceived and born through Dr. Jaerock Lee's prayer. Sister Joohee Song and Brother Hamin Kim were healed of atopic dermatitis by his prayer. Many children in Manmin Kindergarten have been healed of a cold through the prayer of Dr. Lee that is recorded on ARS (Automated Response System). Some others were healed of burns without scars by spraying Muan Sweet Water. They grow up without worries of diseases and accidents since the living God protects them. Even if they had become ill, they were healed by the power of God and came to grow up in faith.
The Manmin kindergarten children who study in church every day have great vision and dreams for the world mission. This is because Manmin Central Church, with approximately 10,000 branch and associate churches, has a need for a great number of pastors and workers in order to accomplish the providence of God that saves the peoples of all nations. Following their early dreams, its graduates have already been used in the church as pastors, Levite workers, and praise leaders.
Manmin Kindergarten starts classes with a worship service at 10 A.M. which is followed by a variety of learning programs from Monday to Friday. They have not only ordinary education courses most kindergartens have, but there are also classes in essay writing, communication skills, identifying and writing Chinese characters, singing, English, Fröbel Gabe (GIFT), worship dance, group activities, story-telling activities, and hands-on field studies. During the second half of 2014, it is going to have special programs once a week for children to grow in talents such as Chinese language, ballet lessons, and role-playing.
