Lion King Preschool Wonderschool

Pwofesè nou yo

Hi there! My name is Marine, and I am the founder of Lion King Preschool Wonderschool. I am a proud mother of three children, ages 25, 21, and 10. Originally from Armenia, I value the richness of language and culture. All of my children speak English, Armenian, and Russian, and we naturally incorporate these languages into our daily activities and conversations here at our program. When I came to the United States, I knew that my true passion was working with children. I dreamed of creating a nurturing environment where children could learn, grow, and feel loved. That dream became a reality when I opened my preschool, and I have never looked back. Every day, I feel grateful to do work that I truly love. Watching children learn, explore, and build confidence brings me so much joy. My goal is to create a warm, safe, and welcoming space where every child feels valued and inspired to reach their full potential.

“Wonderful Childcare! Very caring, kind and loving environment. My daughter loved every day of going to Lion King. Wish I would know about this program earlier but going there for the whole year left us with a lot of good memories and appreciation for great time there. Music, art, dancing, english and russian and much more for our kids. Thank you so much, Marina!”

Filozofi

At Lion King Wonderschool, we believe in creating a well-rounded environment where children can develop confidence, curiosity, and a lifelong love of learning. We take great pride in the strong relationships we build with our students and families, creating a warm and supportive community where every child feels valued and respected. We believe that every child deserves a positive and enriching early childhood experience. Over the years, it has been a joy to watch our graduates thrive in school and grow into kind, confident, and successful individuals who make meaningful contributions to their communities. Our mission is to nurture each child’s intellectual, physical, social, and emotional development in a dual-language setting. A special focus of our program is preserving and strengthening the Russian language while helping children become confident communicators in English. We thoughtfully combine educational activities, creative exploration, healthy organic meals, active play, and restful quiet time throughout the day. This balanced approach allows children to learn naturally, effortlessly, and joyfully while developing important skills for future success. Our enrichment program includes following classes….

-Music

-Dance

-Gymnastics and Playball

-English with a native-speaking professional who is currently a kindergarten teacher at Lafayette Elementary School

At Lion King Wonderschool, we celebrate each child’s unique personality, strengths, and talents. Through an individualized approach, we ensure that every child grows, learns, and plays happily while building confidence, independence, and a strong foundation for the future.

Kote

LionKing Wonderschool is located in a bright, warm single family home in the Outer Richmond neighborhood.

Children will have some outdoor time everyday in my private yard or outdoor space. Children need space to run, jump, and move!

At LionKing Wonderschool, I want to provide a loving home away from home.
