Wonderschool’s mission is to ensure every child has access to child care that helps them realize their potential. We are doing this by building a suite of tools to support passionate early care and education professionals to start and run quality and sustainable child care programs. Our tools allow providers to easily manage their students, parents, and school all from one dashboard. Our community allows providers to seek advice, support, and a sense of belonging with a group of like-minded peers.
For parents, our marketplace allows parents to easily search for schools, schedule visits, enroll their children, and make payments.
The first five years of a child’s life are critical for nurturing brain development for success in school and beyond. All children deserve access to a care situation that will allow them to grow into healthy, lifelong learners. By leading a revolution where all children are able to get access to an environment to develop these skills, we can create drastic changes to neighborhoods and societies as a whole.
