Meet Rachel Matzkin

Montessori Early Childhood Education, Philadelphia, PA

Rachel Matzkin is a teacher with over a decade of experience, teaching a range of students from toddlers to high schoolers. She graduated from the University of Hartford in Connecticut with a duel degree in Elementary and Special Education. She then moved back to her home town in Atlanta, Georgia where she taught elementary school Special Education. She then transitioned to teaching even younger students integrating the timeless lessons of Maria Montessori’s discovery of the limitless potential of the child’s absorbent mind. “I am fascinated by the Montessori approach to foster and enhance each child’s natural sense of joy and wonder by using a child-centered approach based on scientific observations. All children have a natural hunger for knowledge and are capable of initiating their own learning in the right, supportive environment with the proper tools and activities. “

My Advice

My philosophy is to build a Montessori-based toddler classroom that stimulates each child’s “divine urge” to gain self-mastery and independence earning it through exploration and play. I believe independence is not given it is developed. Parents should only intervene in the child’s activity at certain times but should decrease their involvement steadily as children learn how to do for themselves.

Cut & Peel

Kitchen role play enhances a child’s cognitive ability and problem-solving skills. If problems arise, such as a fork going missing, it forces children to come up with a solution. Promoting different types of pretend food, such as fruit, vegetables, eggs and meat, encourages children to make healthier food choices. They imagine the food they have cooked in appetizing scenarios, which tends to encourage them to try eating that food in real life as well.

Kitchen Fun

By providing children with their own play kitchen such as Yula’s Kiddy Chef – Kitchen Set, they gain a sense of independence increasing their self-confidence. They adopt the role of working in a kitchen and become responsible for keeping it clean, organizing the belongings and caring for the different items in the kitchen. When children undertake real-life kitchen roles and emulate roles such as head chefs, their care takers, etc. they also start to develop leadership qualities.
