The best place to take your children to learn, alm the staff is very good, all true teachers are so loving and committed. Specially the teachers in room 10 have been so supportive. I can't thank enough all the staff including Lorraine which is the social worker and she is AMAZING!!!! Thank you centro Mater for opening your doors to my children's.

As a father, my experience has been mostly horrible. My son has only attended virtual classes via zoom. Meanwhile, there have been a plethora of students allowed to attend in-person classes. This is unfair for my son. He was never once able to see and play in person with other students or learn first hand from these so called teachers. They favor the students that are present in person, as opposed to the children that are in the zoom call which was in Spanish not English. This could have easily been avoided by simply creating a rotation for students to come on some days and others vice versa. This is discriminating against not only my son but also me. I have a job just like every other parent but the school decides to prioritize the students and parents that are already in-class. Meanwhile, they keep denying me entry into calls on some days. The zoom calls only last for 1 hour but the students physically at the school get their 8 hours and full attention from the teachers. I try my BEST to participate in his classes everyday to keep his attention on the presentation of the day, although this can prove challenging at times with my day to day agenda. At his previous school he was involved in all activities and never missed a single day. Now there is a constant denial of entry into the classes without explanation. No, "Hi how are you Mr. Aroche?" As a new family to this school, I cannot be more disappointed in the neglect me and my family has endured.

Centro Mater is a really special place, my daughter is in after school program, I enjoy the all activities that they organize. My daughter has music classes. I have only recommendation a little more attention with the homeworks, but is great space for the kids. I want that my daughter stay always in Centro Mater 😄

If y’all want to take ur kids somewhere where they bullied by their own teachers sign up! My brother got told by Ms.Carmen that he was so ugly he was going to break the mirror. We let the office know and they still let her work. Obviously centro mater lacks common sense and is unprofessional and doesn’t know how to hire actual decent people. Girl ur staff is not trained obviously if ur calling my brother ugly and not firing MS CARMEN.
