Educational Philosophy
We recognize that all children develop differently, thus, we present academic skills to all the children in a fun and relaxed atmosphere that encourages a love for God and a passion for learning. All of the MAMDO classes offer age-appropriate, hands-on activities that promote developmental skills. At the pre-kindergarten level, we encourage pre-reading and pre-writing activities to help young children develop the basic skills necessary to begin learning to read and write.
