Giving Stories from Wonders Community
We’ve felt so fortunate to have our daughter in Wonders. Between the exceptional teachers, thoughtful programming, and seeing the Wonders executive team leading the charge for universal pre-K in our state — I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We know that when we support Wonders with a donation each year, our contribution has a direct impact on our child’s education and our entire community.
Wonders was a huge part of our daughter’s elementary school experience. The program provided warmth and care as she transitioned from her preschool to her elementary school both before and after school…Our daughter will start high school next year, but we have continued to support Wonders every year both because of how much they did for our family and because we want the program to be able to provide the same for families who come after us.
We were raised by single working parents, so we truly understand the power of “it takes a village”. As new parents with no family in the area, Wonders has been that family-like community of support that our child has benefitted from in his growing journey. Giving back is our small way of recognizing the value of such quality childcare and investing in the individuals that make the Wonders community shine from within.
Our child’s time at Wonders has truly been a wonderful experience. The entire staff creates a warm and welcoming atmosphere. We will always be grateful for the positive impact Wonders has had on our child’s growth and development. The teachers and staff were truly amazing in sustaining our child, accommodating his needs, and fostering his education. Recognizing the importance of sustaining Wonders, we believe in the positive influence it has on children’s education and our community. By contributing, we support a place where children thrive socially and emotionally.
I am happy to support Wonders and its terrific afterschool program at Bethesda Elementary School! My now-second-grader has been attending Wonders since his first day of kindergarten, and it remains (for better or worse!) his favorite part of the school day. He is always coming home with stories about the playground games he and his friends play, the fun activities the teachers lead, and the sense of community he feels while he’s there. Thank you for helping two busy working parents make it all work—and for doing so in a way the kids genuinely enjoy. We’re very lucky!
Choosing a childcare provider can be daunting. During our search, Wonders’ exceptional reputation in the community really stood out to us. However, it was Wonders’ unique status as a non-profit that really made us excited at the prospect of sending our children there. We knew that this meant that Wonders would be mission-driven and would be reinvesting all of our tuition dollars back into the program and its teachers. What we didn’t know at the time, and which I learned when I joined the Wonders Board of Directors a few years later, was that our tuition dollars were not covering the true cost of our childrens’ care. This is why we choose each year to support Wonders’ annual giving campaign– because it helps ensure that Wonders can continue providing the extraordinary care that our family has benefited so greatly from. The Wonders program, and in particular, the remarkable Wonders teachers, have helped both of our children blossom during these foundational developmental years. For that, we are grateful!
