Testimonials

Thank you, Flor, for nurturing and challenging our girl, Lennon, will miss you!” Stuart & Felicia Dec. 2022

“Our daughter’s first daycare experience was at Matatena, and we loved watching her build skills and become more independent through her year with Flor. The space was always calm and warm, and I knew she was in good hands.” Erin July 2022

“We just wanted to say how much we appreciate you working with Maya! She has grown SO MUCH in the last few months–her speech, fine motor skills, and everything. We are really happy with how much she is talking at home, and we wanted to thank you.” Bradley December 2021.

About our program

Our goal in providing a Quality in Home Preschool for your child is:

· A safe, nurturing environment.

· A learning environment where learning is not necessarily the ABC’s and 123’s, but is also the learning of values. The learning of honesty, respect, self–reliance and potential, self-discipline, and moderation. Includes the values of being dependable, loving, sensitive to others, demonstrating kindness, friendliness and fairness, the values of giving.

· A proper approach to discipline… Children are taught which behaviors are inappropriate, and why, and given alternatives that are acceptable. In this way, the behavior is being changed, without making the child feel “bad”. Developing their self-esteem, and teaching them how to handle difficult situations in the future.

· An environment to learn and practice social skills.

· An environment where independence is acknowledged and encourage.

Matatena Montessori offers a Spanish Immersion Program.
