Philosophy

Aunt Shelley’s Wonderschool will provide a loving environment that is consistent, healthy, and safe that encourages your child (ren) to grow emotionally, physically, socially, and cognitively. I believe that each child is unique and special.  Every consideration will be given to ensure that your child excels in our program. Additionally, we believe in the relationship between the parents and the provider.  We strive to create an environment in which the parent and staff work together to prepare your child for any challenges ahead.

Location

Aunt Shelley’s Daycare Wonderschool is located in a welcoming, inviting single family home in the Holmes Lake neighborhood. Children will spend most of the day outdoors in our outdoor space. We are a certified Nature Explorer Classroom. We believe that connecting with nature is vital to a child’s happiness and growth. I want to provide an enriching environment where children feel free to explore and play.
