JBA Wonderschool

Our Teachers

Hello! I am Tomekia Caddle, the founder of Tomekia’s Wonderschool. I was inspired to start my own program because it has always been my dream to design my own space where children can blossom and grow. I have 8 years of experience working with young children.

I received top honors for “Overall Excellence” and “Creativity & Innovation”. I received the “Quality Award” for consistently delivering high quality services to children and families. In 2017 and 2019, I was recognized as top provider of the year for service excellence in all aspects of program delivery.

Philosophy

At J’s Borough Academy (JBA) Wonderschool, we believe that children grow, learn, and thrive by feeling safe, loved, and nurtured. 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 learning.

In my program I build caring and trusting relationships with children. Having positive interactions daily sets the foundation for all children to learn and explore the world around them.

I expect that children will implement all positive interactions that they receive and learn in my program. Children are taught that everyone is special, unique and everyone deserves equal opportunities to shine.

I love that my space provides all the children with a safe and healthy learning environment. I strongly believe that a safe learning environment gives way to a healthy setting for children to thrive.

Location

JBA Wonderschool is located in a welcoming warm single family home.

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 dramatic play area (for self-expression and empathy), block area (for gross motor skills and problem solving), 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 lets children gain deeper knowledge of themselves and the world.

About our program

My program is committed to making sure children receive nutritional meals three times per day. Providing nutritious meals daily helps Children’s bodies grow strong and healthy.

Engaging with parents starts at orientation. Orientation sets the stage for me to build partnerships with families. As time continues that partnership opens a line of communication that encourages families to feel comfortable to engage with me. I continue to foster parent engagement by keep them in the know about their child’s schedule and what it will consist of. On a daily basis, I engage with parents via text message, email, updates or face-to-face at pickup time. I make myself available to hear each families cares and needs.
