Around 200 parents from Muntinlupa's 20 public elementary schools gathered for the Nanay-Tatay Teacher Workshop.

PTC-CSJ and Synergeia Foundation, in cooperation with the DepEd – Schools Division Office of Muntinlupa City, organized the Nanay-Tatay Teacher Workshop to help parents learn how to teach basic reading and Math to their children at home.

The workshop, held on May 17, 2023, at the Museo ng Muntinlupa, responded to requests from parents following a virtual session held during the pandemic. The training is a vital part of the Growing Good to Great Kids (3G) program, which has supported Muntinlupa’s education sector since 2011.
