Matyar Yalda: A Developmental, Auditory, and Shared Experience for Mother and Child
Yalda Night, one of the most ancient Iranian traditions, offers a meaningful opportunity to create rich and lasting experiences in a child’s world. At Matyar Child House, Yalda is not merely a celebration; it is an opportunity for growth, connection, and sensory–emotional experience within a safe and age-appropriate environment.
Matyar’s Yalda programs are thoughtfully designed around music, play, storytelling, and maternal presence, allowing children to experience this cultural tradition in a calm, accessible, and child-centered way.
Yalda Vocal Play: Where Live Music, Movement, and Sensory Experience Meet
The Yalda Vocal Play program is designed to support the development of children’s auditory, motor, and emotional skills. Through live music, vocal games, and exploratory movement activities, children engage in indirect yet meaningful learning experiences.
Throughout this program, children:
• Build a connection with rhythm and sound
• Strengthen motor coordination and body awareness
• Express emotions in a safe, guided, and supportive environment
This carefully structured experience goes beyond entertainment, offering children a purposeful space for sensory exploration and emotional expression.
The Story of Light and Melody on Yalda Night: A Mother–Child Experience
Young children require calmness, repetition, and companionship to understand and internalize meaningful occasions. The Story of Light and Melody on Yalda Night is designed with this developmental need in mind and is offered specifically as a mother–child program.
Through gentle storytelling, soft melodies, and the reassuring presence of the mother, this program creates a predictable and emotionally secure experience. Within this space, children:
• Experience a sense of safety and belonging
• Become familiar with simple Yalda concepts through stories and music
The program is offered in two separate age groups, ensuring that each child engages in an experience aligned with their individual stage of development.
Our Approach at Matyar
At Matyar, we believe that what children gain from such experiences is not merely a fleeting memory, but a lasting emotional foundation—a sense of safety, being heard, and togetherness. These early experiences play a vital role in shaping healthy emotional and social development.
