Who is mattias+me?
A simple idea. A big vision.
mattias+me started with a simple idea — that children shouldn't have to wait until something goes wrong to get emotional support.
Marielle La Gamba has spent her career working with children and studying emotional wellbeing. When her son Mattias was born, she was inspired to create something bigger — a better, kinder world for him to grow up in.
Every resource at mattias+me is grounded in the EYLF and designed to give children the tools they need from day one.
