WONDERKIDS passion for child development has enhanced the learning experience in young minds by bringing out the greatness within children since 1987. WONDERKIDS Early Learning Center of RI offers exceptional early learning programs from Infancy through Pre-Kindergarten. Because of our commitment to healthy eating, we offer fresh fruits and vegetables daily in addition to a healthy breakfast, lunch and an afternoon snack. More than anything else, what defines WONDERKIDS is the success of the students whose parents come back after graduating and share stories of how their child's WONDERKIDS experience gave them the tools they needed to excel. From our skilled teachers to our administrators... warm, responsive care coupled with a secure learning environment is our core vision. Each WONDERKIDS team-member knows that the quality of relationships which your child experiences during their first 5 years of life have a deep and lasting impact on their future development, and that knowledge guides them every step of their day as they care for, enrich and teach your child. WonderKids offers 6 different classrooms which provides a more appropriate learning environment for each age group. Our younger Infants have their very own classroom until they are ready to join the older Infants. Our Toddlers advance from the younger Toddler classroom to the older Toddler classroom when they are developmentally ready. And the Preschool classrooms work beautifully by having the 3 year olds and the 4 year olds learning in their own separate classrooms. Our families at WonderKids are very grateful for the flexible schedule that we offer. Whether it is one half day or up to five full days, we can accommodate your needs. All our staff are C.P.R. and First Aid certified. We would be delighted to show you around our center where your child can interact with their particular age group and you can meet the teachers in the classroom. Tours are scheduled by appointment. We may be contacted by phone call. Thank You!
