Our Teachers

Hello! I am Djene Kaba, the founder and director of Paradise Childcare Wonderschool. I am a proud mother of 3 young children and was inspired to start my own program because I saw a need for high-quality care in my community. I have loved working with children since I was young and have always dreamed of designing my own space where children could blossom and grow. I look forward to meeting you and caring for your children soon!

Philosophy

Welcome to Paradise Childcare Wonderschool! Here we believe that children should be loved and nurtured as they grow and learn. It is our goal to provide an environment that makes children and their families feel welcomed and at home every time they step through our doors. In our program, children will feel genuinely cherished and supported as they engage with new ideas and learnings. We look forward to meeting you and helping your children grow and thrive!

Location

Paradise Childcare Wonderschool is located in a warm, beautiful apartment in Harlem. With a large central play space and quieter side rooms for other activities, our children are excited to learn and explore every day.

At Paradise Childcare Wonderschool, I want to provide a loving home away from home, and I hope you feel this sentiment when you come visit our program! I’ve designed the 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 a block area (for gross motor skills and problem solving), a music and movement area (for physical activity and cultural learning), and a reading area (for literacy, relaxation, and respite). We rotate activities daily to keep children engaged and to better develop their skills as they grow.

Children will have some outdoor time everyday at our nearby local park. We go outside every day to get our wiggles out and tap into our massive amounts of energy! Children will be able to play fun and active outdoor games or can play on the playground.
