General operating support plays a crucial role in enabling Wonders to achieve its mission in a sustainable and impactful way. By providing flexibility to invest non-tuition revenue to cover operational expenses, these funds help ensure Wonders continuous investment in essential areas such as strategic planning, staff development, curriculum enhancement, and facility maintenance. With general operating support, Wonders can prioritize the needs of children and their families and maintain its commitment to excellence.
Ensuring Competitive Salaries and Comprehensive Benefits for Wonders Teachers:

Wonders invests in its workforce by prioritizing compensation and nurturing meaningful careers. At Wonders, we recognize that teachers’ salaries and access to benefits shapes the livelihoods of educators and directly impacts the high-quality care and education children receive. Competitive salaries and comprehensive benefits not only attract and retain skilled teachers but enable them to meet their basic needs, pursue professional development opportunities, and provide for their families. When teachers are fairly compensated, they experience greater job satisfaction, leading to increased motivation, dedication, and productivity in the classroom.
Ensuring Continued Professional Development Workshops for Regional Educators:

Wonders invests in continued teacher professional development by providing equity-focused and research-based training to Wonders teachers and regional educators. Through the Wonders Professional Development Consortium, experienced and certified trainers deliver topics that empower educators to enhance their teaching practices to advance learning outcomes for children and strengthen their commitment to their career goals. In addition to the PDC, Wonders is strengthening its commitment to the professional development of its own educators and staff by expanding training and coaching models to create pathways that foster continuous improvement and individual growth. Prioritizing teacher professional development cultivates a workforce of highly-skilled and motivated teachers who are dedicated to helping children develop the skills and foundations of life-long learners.
Growing Financial Assistance Support for Families in Need:

Wonders ensures our commitment to making our high quality child care programs accessible by investing in Wonders’ Circle Fund, a tuition assistance program. These funds promote economic diversity within our community and ensure that every family enrolled in our programs has access to support during unexpected financial crises. Supporting families facing financials barriers with meaningful tuition support allows us to make a difference in the lives of children, their families, and for the future of our community.
Thank You, Circle members!
We deeply appreciate and value the dedication of our Leadership Circle members. Their continuous support and commitment fuel our mission and ensure Wonders continues to thrive for future generations.
