Our Teachers

Hello! I am Sandra Quinto founder and director of Sandra’s Family Wonderschool. I was a teacher in Guatemala for many years before moving to the United States. I started working at a day care and have lots of experience with children. When my daughter was born, I decided to open my own child care to spend more time with her and continue to provide quality child care to the families in my community. I want to help teach children to be independent, creative and prepared for their lives.

¡Hola! Soy Sandra Quinto, fundadora y directora de Sandra’s Family Wonderschool. Fui maestra en Guatemala por muchos años antes de mudarme a los Estados Unidos. Comencé a trabajar en una guardería y tengo mucha experiencia con niños. Cuando nació mi hija, decidí abrir mi propio cuidado infantil para pasar más tiempo con ella y continuar brindando cuidado infantil de calidad a las familias de mi comunidad. Quiero ayudar a enseñar a los niños a ser independientes, creativos y preparados para sus vidas.

Philosophy

At Sandra’s Family Wonderschool we create a family care environment where children feel socially secure, comfortable, and confident to form friendships, feel proud of their accomplishments, be independent, learn to control impulses and emotions, and develop a positive attitude throughout their lives.

En Sandra’s Family Wonderschool creamos un ambiente de cuidado familiar donde los ninos se sientan socialmente seguros, comodos, y confiados para formar amisates, sentirse argullosos de sus logros, ser independientes, aprender a controlar impulsos y emociones, y a desarrollar una actitud positiva durante toda su vida.

Location

Sandra’s Family Wonderschool is located in a cozy, charming single family home in the Excelsior 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 art area (for expressing emotions and ideas), dramatic play area (for self-expression and empathy), and nature area (for discovering nature and science concepts).

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

At Sandra’s Family Wonderschool, I want to provide an environment where children feel safe, comfortable and creative.

Sandra’s Family Wonderschool está ubicada en una acogedora y encantadora casa unifamiliar en el vecindario Excelsior.

Hemos diseñado nuestro entorno de atención con áreas de juego y aprendizaje que permiten a los niños explorar diversas actividades apropiadas para el desarrollo basadas en sus intereses. Algunas de nuestras áreas favoritas incluyen área de arte (para expresar emociones e ideas), área de juego dramático (para la autoexpresión y la empatía) y área de la naturaleza (para descubrir conceptos de la naturaleza y la ciencia).

Los niños tendrán algún tiempo al aire libre todos los días en mi patio privado o espacio al aire libre. ¡Los niños necesitan espacio para correr, saltar y moverse!

En Sandra’s Family Wonderschool, quiero brindar un ambiente donde los niños se sientan seguros, cómodos y creativos.

About our program

We will provide an environment with organized learning materials to confidently learn and explore and feel competent to acquire new skills such as problem solving, asking questions and using verbal language to describe their ideas and feelings.

We promote the physical development of both children and their healthy minds, providing a nutritious diet and promoting physical activities that make them feel confident in everything their body can do: climbing, running, jumping, dancing and playing in groups.

Involve each family member in the development and growth of the child so that they know what their child learns while they are away working or studying.
