Our Teachers
Hello! I am Socorro Cortez, the founder of Cortez Family Child Care Wonderschool. I was inspired to start my own program because I saw a need for high-quality care in my community. I have 27 years of experience working with young children.
Prior to moving to Koreatown, I ran a very successful in-home child care program in Echo Park in my large home. I’ve worked with hundreds of children throughout the years and still love what I do every day.
Philosophy
At Cortez Family Child Care Wonderschool, I want all children to feel safe, loved and nurtured. I provide an atmosphere that is bright and organized so that children feel invited to play in this comfortable environment. I encourage children to follow their own interests while also providing a daily routine. It is my hope that all children in my early education program will be prepared for success in school and beyond.
En Cortez Family Child Care Wonderschool, quiero que todos los niños se sientan seguros, amados y cuidados. Proporciono una atmósfera brillante y organizada para que los niños se sientan invitados a jugar en este ambiente confortable. Animo a los niños a seguir sus propios intereses al tiempo que les proporciono una rutina diaria. Espero que todos los niños en mi programa de educación estén preparados para el éxito en la escuela y el futuro.
Location
Cortez Family Child Care Wonderschool is located in a welcoming, charming apartment in the Koreatown neighborhood near Echo Park and Westlake. We are off the 101 freeway and easily accessible from many parts of town. We are surrounded by several schools and churches in our family-friendly community.
Children will have safe outdoor time every day at a local park or playground or on walks in and around our building. At Cortez Family Child Care Wonderschool, I want to provide a loving home away from home.
