Our Teachers

Hello! I am Alisia Gonsalves, the founder of Little Wings Wonderschool. I was inspired to start my own program because I saw a need for high-quality care in my community. I have 5 years of experience working with young children. When thinking about how to structure our day, I took deep care to create a schedule for children that balances their need for open play and exploration as well as for guided learning. This program is a reflection of what I would be looking for for my own family and hope to share the value in that with yours.

Philosophy

At Little Wings Wonderschool, we believe that children learn best through hands-on activities where they can investigate ideas that interest them. Our approach is STEAM-based, and our goal is to provide opportunities for our students to study the world around them by engaging in science experiments and creative art activities.

Location

Our home is situated between Liberty Blvd and Rockway Blvd, and our program is conveniently located close to many options for public transportation, such as the 41 bus, the 112 bus, and the A train. We are half a block from PS 108 Elementary School, sick blocks from John Adams High School, and ten blocks from MS 137 Middle School.

Our students enjoy their outdoor time in our spacious backyard, and we also take nature walks to PS 108 Elementary School Park.
