Our Teachers

Hello! I am Rashika Locke, the founder of Little Mama’s Wonderschool. I was inspired to start my own program because I saw a need for high-quality care in my community. I have 28 years of experience working with young children.

I can’t really comment on some of the items as I don’t get a through report from my husband who picks the baby up - he doesn’t ask for much information. I would like a little more detail about how my child is doing, but other than that it seems great!

Philosophy

At Little Mama’s Wonderschool, we believe that children grow, learn, and thrive by feeling safe, loved, and nurtured. It is our goal to provide an environment that helps each child to feel confident and capable. In our program, children will feel supported as they engage with new ideas and learnings.

Location

Little Mama’s Wonderschool is located in a bright, spacious single family home in the Green Valley Ranch 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 nature area (for discovering nature and science concepts), dramatic play area (for self-expression and empathy), and music and movement area (for physical activity and cultural learning).

Children will have some outdoor time everyday in my private yard or outdoor space. Connecting with nature lets children gain deeper knowledge of themselves and the world.

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