Though I do not exactly know the meaning of the acronym ECE, I guess you are a young gentleman taking a course which qualifies graduates as kindergarten teachers in HK.
As a parent, I won't prejudice male teachers. Actually, the class teacher of my K3 boy is also a young gentleman and is very well received by the kids. (Fyi, he's the only male teacher in the kindergarten)
I think male kindergarten teachers are quite popular among both the parents and the kids as long as they show their passion in teaching and love their students. :)
