Pat's Wonderschool

Our Teachers

Hello! My name is Pat Harris, the founder of Pat’s Wonderschool. I’m a native of New York. I’m a mother and a grandmother. 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 a CDA in family child care and 30 years of experience working with young children in licensed child care centers and various programs. I’m director certified through the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services-child care licensing division.

I enjoy interacting with children, seeing the look of amazement on their faces when they accomplish a task or learn something new is simply priceless.

Our goal is to provide a carefree learning space where children can develop high self-esteem, positive social interactions and healthy character traits. When children feel happy and secure in their environment they soar mentally and emotionally.

Pat’s Wonderschool is located in a welcoming, charming single family home in the Colonial Estates neighborhood of Arlington, Texas. Our school is nestled in a two story home with a den converted classroom and large living area for extended play.
