OUR VALUES
“To make a loveable school, industrious,
inventive, liveable and documentable and communicable,
a place of research, learning, re-cognition and reflection,
where children, teachers and
families feel well - is our point of arrival.”
Loris Malaguzzi
At Mata House..
We envisioned a nurturing haven that nurtures your child to
grow up happy, build meaningful relationships and who lives
meaningful life, who feel an inner sense of stability and
authenticity, and who cares deeply about others and
themselves and would bring
benefits to the world.
What is
our approach?
What inspired us
Children curiosity is enhanced with
the Reggio Emilia approach that values
child as a competent, capable and natural
researcher who has the desire for knowledge
and is always ready for challenge.
Hence, in adopting this approach, learning
and inquiring process is done through
authentic play to develop child's fundamental
learning skills.
What we believe
Each child is unique and we embrace
their strength to help them reach their
full potential - to be a wholesome person
with a joyful heart and happy mind.
Every child has the right to reach their
full potential at a different pace and path.

What are our
learning modules?
The International Early Years Curriculum (IEYC) has a framework for teaching and learning through play-based learning. This framework comes in the
form of 4 learning strands.
The framework gives us learning modules as a guidance to Reggio Emilia approach. The two complement each other to bring out the best learning opportunity to the child.

ABOUT US
“Before everything,
we were mothers.”
Before the 8am mornings echoed with tiny footsteps and nursery songs,
Mata House had its humble beginnings like any other: with an empty white
house, two passionate mothers, and a dream to nurture children with
creativity and individuality
“As working mothers, we realized the limitations and difficulties faced
by parents who have to rely on house staff to look after their children
while they are away at work.”
They started with countless parental discussions and quickly blossomed into visions of
a nurturing and soothing environment where the biggest of minds in the smallest of bodies can
flourish into happy independent children.
The two mothers set out on a mission to create the perfect preschool… not only for their own
children, but also for all the distant small voices out there aspiring to be heard, to be respected,
and most of all, to be loved.
