By providing our toddlers with plenty of hands-on, meaningful learning experiences and individualized attention, during their time at Wonder they will deepen their language skills, refine their motor skills, practice problem solving, build independence, gain confidence, and grow in their social and emotional development.

We foster a caring and safe environment for little eyes and ears (as well as fingers and toes) to soak up and interact with the world around them. We encourage children to use words and facial expressions to communicate their feelings, boundaries, and desires. Our rules are simple: We cannot hurt ourselves, others, or property. Our goal is to allow your child to express him/herself in unique, socially acceptable ways. We also make sure your child feels safe, inspired, and right at home.
