A wonderful start to lifelong learning
Every second our precious little ones have over 1 million new neural connections being formed! We want to maximize this stage of life and lay a great foundation for future success.
Here at Wonder Academy, we believe that Sir Ken Robinson was correct, “Creativity is as important as literacy.” Our classrooms are safe places for scholars to grow and achieve developmental milestones.
Our teachers prioritize knowing your scholar as an individual. Whether gently holding your infant, encouraging your toddler to share or providing your preschooler with a wide range of enriching activities, our teachers understand your child’s unique needs. Creative lesson plans are brought to life in a fun and imaginative way. Learning centers for dramatic play, creative art, science, quiet reading, and blocks and puzzles provide your child with the opportunity to explore independently and confidently.
Individualized Attention
With smaller class sizes, our teachers provide personalized attention to each child's unique learning style and needs.
Safe & Nurturing Environment
Our small size creates a close-knit community where children can feel safe and secure, allowing them to build strong relationships with their teachers and peers.
Spiritual Foundation
Our Christian curriculum provides a strong foundation for children's spiritual growth, incorporating biblical teachings and character-building moments into daily lessons and activities.
Family Atmosphere
Our school promotes a family atmosphere, where parents are actively involved and can feel connected to their child's education and development.
Available Programs
Fun-filled full- and part-day programs for children aged 6 weeks to pre-kindergarten, including state-sponsored VPK.

6 Weeks - 12 Months
The decision to return to work is never an easy one, especially when your child is still an infant. At Wonder Academy we foster a safe, nurturing environment for our youngest of students with a low 4:1 child to caregiver ratio. Our staff is here to support you as your family adjusts to the transition of part or full time care. Communication of your child’s activities is a priority and we are committed to working with you to facilitate your infant’s growth.

12 Months - 2 Years
As your baby transitions into a toddler, our program adjusts with them – providing that continuing stimulation and love they need to thrive. Now that they are on the move, they are ready to explore the world around them! We harness this curiosity and channel it into learning and growing. Keeping toddlers challenged and moving ahead grows their minds and bodies each at their own pace. Balancing fun, fitness and learning with laughter brings progress far above so many “babysitting” style care centers. Our program includes communicating, creating and exploring to facilitate the development of the whole child.
-
2 Years - 3 Years
This is the class where children see themselves as independent individuals who love having all eyes on them! Yes, the two year old stage can be challenging, but our classroom is the perfect place for them to learn new habits and skills. Creative play and opportunities to use their imagination are priority as our young scholars are growing in confidence.
-
3 Years - 4 Years
Our focus for this age group is to provide a safe environment full of new exciting learning experiences for scholars' natural curiosity to flourish. While growing as individuals, they are also learning relational skills with opportunities for growth in character development.
Reading concepts, sight words, circle time, show and tell, even Spanish are all elements of the curriculum for this important development period.
