Basics
Our Teachers
Hello! I am Ruth Silvestre, the founder of Mamitas Wonderschool. I was inspired to start my own program because I saw a need for high-quality care in my community. I have 10 years of experience working with young children.
Achievements
Philosophy
At Mamitas Wonderschool, we believe that children grow, learn, and thrive by following their own unique style of discovery. It is our goal to provide an environment that engages children with developmentally-appropriate activities and materials. In our program, children will feel supported as they engage with new ideas and learnings.
Location
Mamitas Wonderschool is located in a welcoming, beautiful single family home in the Leimert Park 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 dramatic play area (for self-expression and empathy), reading / cozy area (for literacy, relaxation, and respite), and block area (for gross motor skills and problem solving).
Children will have some outdoor time everyday in my private yard or outdoor space. Children need space to run, jump, and move!
At Mamitas Wonderschool, I want to provide a loving home away from home.
