History
With 7 children and 1 classroom at, All Saints Day Church in 1976 Wonders began. Though we were known as All Saints Day Preschool then, Wonders still had the same vision it did then, now. Simply put, our vision was to provide diverse and quality child care to families in our community. Since then, we have grown and changed a lot! In 2006 we became known as Wonders - a name which captures all the infinite promise and possibilities inherent in children. From our name and location to the services we provide Wonders has a rich history! We are proud to have served families here for over 40 years, providing a safe, nurturing learning environment parents can trust and depend upon. We are a non-profit provider of accredited early childhood education, before and after school care, and summer camp with flexible programs for children ages 8 weeks through the sixth grade. Wonders believes children develop and learn through play in a nurturing and diverse community.
