Overview
Company Does Not Provide H1B Sponsorship
Mentava offers two structured early education programs: Mentava Minis for ages 2–3 and Mentava Math for ages 3–4, delivered through a subscription model. Minis uses 20-minute daily sessions to teach letter recognition and phonetics, building reading fluency. After reading is mastered, children move to Mentava Math, which aims to prepare them for advanced math topics by first grade, including algebra and AP Computer Science. The approach combines focused sequential learning with active parental involvement and a predictable subscription-based revenue stream, with the goal of having children enter first grade reading-ready and with strong math foundations.
