Our Teachers

Hi families! I am Najat, the founder of Najat’s Wonderschool. I am fluent in French, Arabic and English and am comfortable teaching in all three languages. I am originally from Morocco. I was inspired to start my own program because I wanted to provide high quality care for my own children. I have two children on my own and they are my whole life!

Philosophy

At Najat’s Wonderschool, we encourage our students to play to learn and learn to play. Our focus is the well-rounded development of a child - socially, emotionally, and cognitively - through hands-on experiences with nature and the world around them. Through dramatic play activities, we help our students develop their self-confidence and share their creative abilities while playing. We guide children to learn how to express their interests and needs, and take care of themselves through hands on learning. 

Location

Najat’s Wonderschool is located in a welcoming, warm single family home in the Salem,ma neighborhood.

Children will have some outdoor time everyday in my private yard or outdoor space. Children need space to run, jump, and move!

Dramatic Play Tent

Music Play!

At Najat’s Wonderschool, I want to provide an environment that supports the cognitive, social, and emotional growth of each child.

About our program

My teaching style is very hands-on, and I take part in children’s playtime and dance alongside them during circle time. Education can and should be a warm and welcoming experience for children.
