Excellence in Education for Children
Innovative child care for every age and stage
Centro Mater child care centers create a safe, nurturing environment for your children, encouraging them to become confident problem-solvers, independent explorers and creative thinkers. Our philosophy for early childhood education and care is designed to give every child, at each stage of development, a beginning foundation of success in school and to promote a love of learning.
Centro Mater was the first to offer child care center services in Florida that combined pre-school and before-and-after school programs. All five of our centers have earned national accreditations.
