Over 40 years of excellence in early childhood education and care
M.A.T.S.S. Kids' Gym & Early Childcare Education Center has been a cornerstone of the Long Island community for over four decades. What began as a small family-owned business has grown into one of the most trusted names in early childhood education and care.
Our journey began with a simple mission: to provide children with a safe, nurturing environment where they could learn, grow, and develop their full potential through play-based learning and structured activities.
M.A.T.S.S. Kids' Gym was founded as a small gymnastics and early childhood center in Bellmore, NY. The founders recognized the need for quality childcare that combined physical activity with early education.
We opened our second location in Syosset, NY, bringing our proven programs and philosophy to serve more families in the Long Island community.
We expanded our programs to include comprehensive daycare services and nursery school programs, becoming a full-service early childhood education center.
We continued to grow and expand our services, adding new programs and enhancing our facilities to better serve the growing needs of our community.
Another milestone in our growth as we expanded our facilities and programs, reaching more families and providing enhanced educational opportunities.
We expanded once again, continuing our commitment to excellence and growth in early childhood education and care.
We introduced innovative programs including afterschool classes, summer camps, and specialized programs for infants and toddlers, expanding our services to meet the evolving needs of families.
We celebrated 30 years of service to the community, having helped thousands of children develop the skills and confidence they need for success in school and life.
We continue to evolve and innovate, incorporating the latest research in early childhood development while maintaining the core values and traditions that have made us successful for over 40 years.
We celebrated our 40th anniversary on April 17th, 2025, marking four decades of excellence in early childhood education and care for the Long Island community.
