We describe our initial experience on introducing religious education into the curriculum for preschool teachers. In order to provide a well-rounded curriculum to students who will become preschool teachers, we have developed a new course that puts emphasis on developing the loving relationship between mother and child. To achieve this, we introduce religious feelings about God that although unseen can promote love and deep relationships of warmth between persons. It has been ten years since the government advocated mental health care education for infants, but recently there have been several tragic incidences of heartless treatment by a mother to her infant. We therefore believe it is of the utmost importance to support mothers in their child rearing efforts through offering this course in religious education.
