Our Teachers

Hello! My name is Sultana Wahid. I’m a 39-year-old educator with a Master’s degree in Education and over a decade of hands-on experience in early childhood settings. I am CPR certified and have spent more than 10 years working as a head teacher in Montessori classrooms with 2- and 3-year-olds, where I developed a deep understanding of child-centered, developmental learning.

After years of guiding young children in structured school settings, I decided to follow my heart and open my own home-based childcare program—a dream I’ve carried with me for many years. As the head teacher, I bring a warm, nurturing, and enriching environment where little ones are encouraged to explore, grow, and thrive at their own pace.

Every child deserves a thoughtful beginning, and I’m honored to be part of that journey.

Testimonials

Ms sue is absolutely wonderful. If you are looking for a fun safe environment for your babies look no further.

Philosophy

At Zuna House we believe that children grow, learn, and thrive by feeling safe, loved, and nurtured. It is our goal to provide an environment that makes children feel welcomed and at home. In our program, children will feel genuinely cared for and cherished.

I am a certified Montessori teacher. I believe that children are naturally eager for knowledge and capable of initiating learning in a supportive, thoughtful-prepared environment.

Location

Zuna House Wonderschool is located in a cozy, warm apartment in the boropark neighborhood.

We’ve thoughtfully designed our care environment specifically for infants that allow our infants to explore developmentally-appropriate activities favorite areas include our cozy lounge area, relaxation, and respite), sensory area (for spatial awareness and learning through the five senses),

All infants are taken on a daily walk for 30 mins once in AM and then again in the PM. Connecting with nature lets children gain deeper knowledge of themselves and the world.

At Zuna House Wonderschool, I want to provide an enriching environment where infants can lounge freely

About our program

Hi, I’m Sultana Wahid—an experienced caregiver and passionate early childhood professional. I specialize in infant care through my in-home childcare program, offering a nurturing, safe, and loving environment for little ones during their most delicate stage of development.

My journey began as a Certified Breastfeeding Counselor (CBC) and postpartum night nurse, supporting new mothers and their babies through those tender first weeks. Over the years, my passion for infant care only grew, leading me to create a dedicated in-home program focused exclusively on newborns and infants.

This is the first step toward a lifelong dream: opening my own licensed childcare center. Until then, I’m proud to provide personalized, high-quality infant care from the comfort of my home—where every baby is treated like family.
