OUR CENTER’S MISSION IS TO PROMOTE EQUITY IN EDUCATION BY PROVIDING A HIGH-QUALITY EARLY CARE AND EDUCATION PROGRAM FOR OUR CHILDREN, FAMILIES, AND COLLEAGUES.
ABOUT MATHER PRESCHOOL AND CLUB MATHER.
We have four different programs, to meet the needs of all of the children in your family!
INFANTS AND TODDLERS
Our tenured professional teachers, with credentials in child development, support babies in those precious first years of rapid brain growth and development.
All children have assigned Primary Caregivers, to support the development of strong emotional bonds.
We feature:
Personal crib space for each baby
(under 1 year).
Support for continued breastfeeding/ formula provided if chosen.
Everything is included for the convenience of busy parents:
Organic formula and baby food, diapers and wipes, and meals and snacks as your baby grows.
FULL-DAY PRESCHOOL CLASSES
Full-Time or Part-Time schedules are available to meet the needs of your family.
Our preschool classrooms feature credentialed teachers with
degrees in child development, and project-based learning curriculum
designed around the needs and interests of the children. We focus on
social and emotional learning, as well as cognitive, creative, and physical
skills. Meals and snacks are included in all of our programs.
Early Preschool is for children ages 2 - 3 years old. At this age, children
develop self-help skills, such as toilet-learning, eating, drinking, and dressing, as well as the skills listed above. We limit our group ratios to one teacher for every six to eight children, to make sure these little ones get the attention they need! Pull-ups and wipes are included in the tuition, for your convenience.
Our Preschool Class is for children age 3 - 4.5 years old, who are two or three school years away from starting kindergarten. At this age, children are beginning to develop a longer attention span and to learn to get along with others. They can participate in more in-depth projects and activities.
Our Pre-Kindergarten or Transitional Kindergarten Class is for children who will enter kindergarten the following school year.
Exciting adventures await in each new day of fun and learning.
