The Parents and Children Education Association or the PCE Club is a non-profit, non-religious and non-political educational organization. Its mission is to provide a learning and sharing platform for parents in developing the emotional intelligence of the parents and their children as well as helping to improve the communications between the parents and their children.

Its objectives are to focus on building children's self-confidence, social skills, public speech and leadership skills, promoting children's self-motivation, encouraging parents to expose their children to different areas so that they become more knowledgeable, promoting the growth of our EQ instead of just IQ.
