Separated Program

Small Wonder Childcare (6-24 Months)

This full day childcare program for children ages 6-24 months is designed to encourage active learning and meaningful engagement with others through a consistent classroom routine and nurturing teachers. Through teacher-directed and open-ended play experiences in our early childhood program , children strengthen language, ignite curiosity, develop problem-solving skills, and build confidence — all in a warm and creative environment. Each day includes open play, circle time with songs, fingerplays and rhymes, story time, gross motor play, dance and bubbles, and sensory exploration. Snack time, lunch, and rest are also part of the daily routine.

Class days and times

Small Wonder Childcare is open year round Monday- Friday from 8 am-5 pm. Families can register for full or half day options.
