Rizzo Family Wonderschool

Our Teachers

Hello! I am Ricardo Rizzo, the founder of Rizzo Family Childcare Wonderschool. I was inspired to start my own program because I saw a need for high-quality care in my community. I have experience working with children in my family owned childcare program, and also raising my own children. I am a certified CPR instructor and value the safety of your children above all.

Jimena Rosales is the assistant teacher at Rizzo Family Childcare Wonderschool. Jimena is currently pursuing her bachelor’s degree in Child Development and has 5 years of experience working with children.

Testimonials

“Ricardo and Maricruz have been excellent. My daughter loves them and has been going there for more than two years, I wouldn’t take her ANYWHERE else. This place definitely deserves recognition.”

Philosophy

At Rizzo Family Childcare Wonderschool, we provide a true family environment for children to learn and thrive in. Our goal is to make children feel at home in our program, and to provide a safe and loving environment where children feel empowered to be themselves.

​

Location

Rizzo Family Childcare Wonderschool is located in a welcoming, charming single family home in the Panorama City 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 sensory area (for spatial awareness and learning through the five senses).

​

Children will have spend outdoor time everyday in my private yard.
