The genesis of the Kindergarten education in the Philippines was a laborious pioneering work. American interest in the Philippine development can be summarized by Onorato who asserted that: Yet it is Filipinos who castigate themselves and usfor failing their country. Filipino intellectuals spare no words in their denunciation of those who were less than full-time heroes... It would be seen them that their understanding of the meaning of development differs from President William McKinley, Elihu Root, William Howard Taft, [Atkinson and Barrows]. By any reasonable measure, the progress in the Philippines during those early years surpasses the record of any other imperial power for a comparable period. American assistance, on the whole, is motivated by a sincere desire to help. It would be foolish to think that we are now trying to make amends for the past mistakes, although some of our countrymen no doubt thinks so. Probably, the Philippines would have received assistance even if there have been no “special relationship.” In the last analysis, it will be the Filipino people who will determine the outcome of their national development. 30 Moreover, the institution (Harris Memorial Training School) was founded by Americans. The church and state is somewhat a separated entity in the American political philosophy. Education in the Philippines brought by the American missionary efforts by the Women's Foreign Missionary Society through the Methodist Episcopal Church initiative was in response to the urgent needs of the times, that would gain development as a whole far more from the Deaconesses training from 1903 to 1923. From 1925 to 1941, Harris Memorial Training School produced Sixty-Seven (67) graduates from all over the island of Luzon. Young women and children have accepted the fact that the Methodist is synonymous to Kindergarten to which they are a product of. The institution's contributions to the national development, particularly in Kindergarten training was a breakthrough even after World War II when the Philippine government recognized early childhood education in the 1970s. Furthermore, Methodism (Protestantism) was brought to the country by the American Missionaries. Their model of mission work is "preaching, teaching, and healing ministry. Their holistic work is a manifestation of their doctrine that spirituality cannot be independent from the social, the economic, and the political. These sectors are seen to be interacting at various levels and at various degrees."31 Education was one of it, particularly kindergarten education. This essential condition was laid evidently to the social and cultural dimension of the pre-school necessity of acquiring knowledge and character for national development in the country.
