On 23 Dec 2021, a simple ceremony was held to dedicate the Centre, children and staff to God. It was especially momentous as the Centre underwent extensive renovations and now sports a brand new look that is brighter, homely and space-efficient.

The Centre blessing was led by Rev Shaun Chong, Pastor-in-charge of Christalite Methodist Chapel (Christalite MC), partner of the Centre. Members of the Centre Governance Committee and MWS leaders were also present.
