Hello! I am Elsa Arias, the founder of Elsa’s Wonderschool. I love kids, and I am in the Quality Start Los Angeles (QSLA) program, and the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) and Teach Stone programs.

Philosophy

At Elsa’s Wonderschool, we believe that children grow, learn, and thrive by exploring the world around them. It is our goal to provide an environment that engages children with developmentally-appropriate activities and materials. In our program, children will feel supported as they engage with new ideas and learnings.

Location

Elsa’s Wonderschool is located in a beautiful, spacious single-family home in the Winnetka neighborhood. Our program is very close to Cal State Northridge!

Children will have some outdoor time every day in my private yard or outdoor space. We have also equipped our program with a modern security system that gives parents extra peace of mind.

At Elsa’s Wonderschool, I want to provide an enriching environment where children feel free to explore and play.
