“Wisdom begins in wonder.”

- Socrates

And learning begins with curiosity. At The Wonder Childcare Programs, we believe in the children’s ability to learn freely — driven by curiosity. We believe that children are the leaders on their path to knowledge, and the teachers are their guides. Kids who learn how to be inquisitive and curious enjoy learning and can develop skills of adaptability.

The Wonder Childcare Programs are exclusive learning spaces intentionally designed for limited lucky littles ages 1-6. For more information, please set up a tour with us below!

☆Parent Satisfaction☆

  • Cassidy Barlow - Parent

    “My daughter has been going here for 10 months now and it has been the best decision ever to enroll her here. We had her enrolled somewhere else (deposit down and everything) but toured this school and knew this is where our daughter needed to be. She has learned so much since being at the Wonder School House and has made best friends.”

  • Bethany O'Neil - Parent

    “Every aspect of this little school has been a wonderful surprise. Our daughter adores school, she eats with gusto, she loves her friends, she takes good naps and she is learning so many amazing things. We are shocked at how well our daughter has taken to the experience.”
