Philosophy
At Dale’s Wonderschool, we believe that children grow, learn, and thrive by following their own unique style of discovery. It is our goal to provide an environment that helps prepare children to thrive in school and the broader world. In our program, children will feel supported as they engage with new ideas and learnings.
Location
Dale’s Wonderschool is located in a welcoming, cozy apartment in the Bedford-Stuyvesant 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 music and movement area (for physical activity and cultural learning), nature area (for discovering nature and science concepts), and reading / cozy area (for literacy, relaxation, and respite).
Children will have some outdoor time everyday at a local park or playground. Connecting with nature is vital to a child’s happiness and growth.
At Dale’s Wonderschool, I want to provide a loving home away from home.
