Our Teachers

Thank you so much for your interest. At this moment, we are at full capacity and are not accepting any applicants/waitlist. Have a great day.

¡Hola! I am Marinela Valdez, the founder of Valdez Family Child Care Wonderschool. I have 19 years of experience working with young children, including an Associates Degree in Child Development, and a Child Development Teacher Permit. My staff and I continuously strive to further our education and skills by attending regular workshops, which include child development, nutrition, and fun activities. 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’m also a mother to four grown children!

Philosophy

Thank you so much for your interest. At this moment, we are at full capacity and are not accepting any applicants/waitlist. Have a great day.

At Valdez Family Child Care Wonderschool, we take children by the hand through their development stages with care and respect. We believe that children grow, learn, and thrive by exploring the world around them, and it is our goal to provide an environment that helps each child to feel confident and capable. In our program, children will feel genuinely cared for and cherished.

Location

Valdez Family Child Care Wonderschool is located in a bright, welcoming single family home in the Silver Lake 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), music and movement area (for physical activity and cultural learning), and manipulatives and math area (for fine motor skills and beginning math concepts).

Children will have plenty of outdoor time everyday in our huge private outdoor space that includes a playground, sensory tables, and more learning centers and dramatic play areas. Children need space to run, jump, and move!

At Valdez Family Child Care Wonderschool, I want to provide an enriching environment where children feel free to explore and play.
