Our Teachers

Hi! I’m Guadalupe, the founder of Guadalupe’s Wonderschool. I was inspired to start my own program because I saw a need when I had my last child. It was extremely difficult to find high quality childcare. I am a mother of 3 children and want to make sure every child receives the childcare that they deserve.

Philosophy

Children learn and communicate through play. Our goal is to make play time and lesson time interesting and stimulating, developing children’s natural curiosity and building self-esteem. Our curriculum includes language arts, basic math skills, arts and crafts, gross and fine motor skill development, dramatic play and music appreciation. Activities are designed to encourage your child’s emotional, social and cognitive development.

En el wonderschool de guadalupe, creemos que los niños crecen, aprenden y prosperan siguiendo su propio estilo de descubrimiento. Es nuestro objetivo proporcionar un entorno que ayude a cada niño a sentirse confiado y capaz. En nuestro programa, los niños se sentirán genuinamente cuidados y queridos.

Location

Guadalupe’s Wonderschool is located in a bright, cozy apartment in the South Van Ness neighborhood.

Children will have some outdoor time everyday at a local park or playground. Connecting with nature is vital to a child’s happiness and growth.

At Guadalupe’s Wonderschool, I want to provide a loving home away from home.
