TESTIMONIALS

What are families saying about their Wonders experience?

We are so grateful to have a wonderful after care program. Wonders Extended Day gives us peace of mind that our child is well taken care of while we finish our busy work day schedules. Our child loves all the teachers and activities and loves that there’s an outlet for all that after school energy. Thank you, Wonders!!
Parent, Wonders Extended Day
Wonders is an absolutely wonderful early childhood learning center. They helped our kids learn and grow in ways we didn’t think were possible, and we are forever grateful for the experience!
Parent, Wonders Early Learning at Edgemoor
Wonders has been an excellent intro into school for our 3-year-old. The teachers are fantastic and the programming is well thought out. Highly recommend to any family.
Parent, Wonders Early Learning at Leland
My kids have loved their time at Wonders. The staff is warm, caring, and attentive to their needs and all different personality types. I feel it has been a wonderful complement to their time in school, very reliable, and the team at Bethesda communicates well with parents.

Parent, Wonders Extended Day at CESJDS
Thank you for everything you do to provide a fun, engaging, and safe place for our kids.
Parent, Wonders Extended Day at Chevy Chase
We are so grateful for the care our child has received at Wonders… From the start, his professional, caring teachers learned about our child and family, and have always helped our child to adapt and develop in his learning environment…Wonders retains teachers by paying at the top of the market, which is invaluable, and we think that this is the most valuable aspect of the care provided. We feel so grateful to have found a second home at Wonders and know that it is absolutely top-notch.

This center was recommended by neighbors and teachers as I was searching for a pre-K option for my child. Glad we made the switch and everyone at the center has been great.
Parent, Wonders Early Learning at Leland
Wonders teachers are engaged and good with children – many are pursuing advanced degrees in education…One of the biggest benefits is the Wonders schedule – even when schools are closed or delayed they stay open, except for the most extreme weather. This is a huge help when parents have jobs.
Parent, Wonders Extended Day at Bethesda
Thank you so much for taking care of our daughter. She enjoyed aftercare so much, sometimes she was upset the days we picked her up earlier than usual!
Parent, Extended Day at SWW-FS
Thank you to all the fun teachers and educators who make Wonders such a great time for our children!
Parent, Extended Day at Horace Mann
Wonders is the best after school program we could imagine. Amazing teachers, wide variety of activities, plenty of supervised freedom for the kids, great way to socialize with kids in all grades.
Parent, Wonders Extended Day
Both of my kids have attended Wonders and it has been a truly magical place for them to grow up. We love all of their teachers – they’re experienced, engaged and loving, and most have been with Wonders for several years. The directors and staff are deeply knowledgeable and get to know all of the students and families on a personal level. Some things that set Wonders apart from other places we looked are that kids stay in the same class all year long, with the same teachers and classmates, which has really really helped my kids’ growth and confidence and allowed them to develop close relationships. Wonders also provides lunch and snacks, which makes life easier. Lastly, having the playground right outside the center makes it easy to build relationships with other families and creates a closeknit community.
