Mission
MATAN is committed to giving the gift of Jewish learning to every child. Our fundamental educational philosophy is that all children learn differently and some learners need additional resources to succeed in their academic environments. By providing support to children, teachers and families, MATAN aims to address these challenges one child at a time.
Programs
MATAN serves children between the ages of five and thirteen years, as well as their teachers, administrators, and parents. Special needs populations to whom we offer services include children with mild to severe learning disabilities, attention disorders, emotional disturbances, developmental disabilities, and pervasive developmental delays including but not limited to autism spectrum disorders. We focus on three groups: children who are in day schools, children who are in supplemental schools, and children who are not currently enrolled in Jewish educational programs. We offer a variety of services to meet the Judaic and secular needs of every child seeking to obtain a Jewish education. These services range in scope from the community level, to teachers and families, to the individual child, with significant overlap between these three categories.
