Our Teachers

Hello! I am Louise Waters, the founder of Living Waters Child Care Wonderschool. I was inspired to start my own program because it has always been my dream to design my own space where children can blossom and grow.

I started my career as an Elementary School teacher in Belize Central America after receiving my Associate Degree in General Education. I migrated to the United States after three years in the classroom. In the United States I pursued a different career path in Business Management with a goal to one day own and operate my own establishment.

During this time I raised my daughters Malka and Elize. I made my home their first learning institution and continued to volunteered in their classrooms. Malka is in college and Elize is in junior high, I am proud of both their accomplishments and because of them I want to continue teaching.

Living Waters Child Care Wonderschool is the product of my career path and my daughters, patience is one of my strongest qualities. My daughters taught me that children are like trees. They started as little seeds, and with love, care, understating and a lot of patience those seeds will grow into strong tall fruitful trees. This is my way of planting seeds and watching children grow into those tall fruitful trees.

Philosophy

Living Waters Wonderschool is a hands on child care program that supports children in developing learning skills through play and sensory activities. Children will work together as a team, develop people and communication skills, and learn to respect each other and the environment.

Location

Living Waters Wonderschool is located in a warm, inviting apartment in the Miracle Mile neighborhood.

We’ve designed our care environment with play and learning areas that allow children to explore various developmentally-appropriate activities based on their interests. Some of our favorite areas include block area (for gross motor skills and problem solving), manipulatives and math area (for fine motor skills and beginning math concepts), and music and movement area (for physical activity and cultural learning).

Children will have some outdoor time everyday at mix of both nature walks and local playgrounds. Children need space to run, jump, and move!

At Living Waters Wonderschool, I want to provide an enriching environment where children feel free to explore and play.
