Our Teachers

Hello! I am Carley Anderson, the founder and director of Carley’s Wonderschool. I have always loved working with children, and have worked with young children since I was a teenager. I previously ran infant and preschool programming for a church in my community for 6 years. I was drawn to having my own Wonderschool program because I want to meet a need for high-quality child care in the Vacaville community.

Philosophy

Please note that our license is pending. While our license is pending, we are legally allowed to enroll and start one family. We would love to invite you to be a founding family at Carley’s Wonderschool!

At Carley’s Wonderschool, we are inspired by the Montessori philosophy and believe that children learn best when they are allowed to discover ideas and concepts on their own. We value interest-led learning, where we, as educators, put time and energy into creating activities and play invitations based on what our students have shown an interest in.

By providing a calming and open-ended environment for our students, we make sure that our students feel safe and encouraged to explore independently.

Location

Carley’s Wonderschool is a 10-minute drive from Highway 80 near Leisure Town Dr., and is a 15-minute drive from Travis Air Force Base in Fairfield. We’re located close to Cambridge Elementary School, Foxboro Elementary School, and Sierra K-8 School.

About our program

At Carley’s Wonderschool, we have a holistic approach to learning and play - we invite our students to independently explore reading, science, art, and numbers through our indoor and outdoor learning centers.

We love sharing photos and updates with our parent community through the Wonderschool app. We observe the needs of each child as an individual, and we work closely with parents to support a smooth transition and enjoyable experience for all students in our program.
