Little Wonders Early Childhood Development Center

Our son went to this development center for about a year. It is small privately owned and was a good first center for our son. For the most part it was clean (but only on the surface), somewhat organized, offered interaction with age appropriate kids and some of the teachers/​caregivers were great especially Ms. Patty. The Director of the center was really nice, attentive and cares about her center and the children.
Some issues we had with this center was that there is a high turnover in the teachers and they weren’t as experienced as I would have liked. Our son kept getting sick and we would have to leave work often to pick him up and wait 24 hrs to take him back so cleaning frequently and just keeping a better eye on the kids needs to be more of a priority. My son goes to an excellent learning center now and has been for about six months and not once has been sick so I that is how I know that they were not keeping the place sanitized well. They moved to a new location and it was a nicer establishment but it was always hot in the class rooms, teachers were always someone new and the class rooms were not as clean as they should have been. Maybe they will get better because there are some teachers that are great there and know better but some who just were not doing their job.

I scheduled a tour with Wonder Years Infant Center, and the director didn’t even show! Not only did they have no consideration for your time. i walked into an unlocked door with a bunch of sleeping kids with NO ADULTS. I had to find someone as I walked around!
I live in this neighborhood, and was APPALLED at what happened… this was scary! Beware fellow neighbors!

We are extremely satisfied with Wonder Years Infant Center and Preschool for our 3-​year-​old daughter and 6-​month-​old son. To provide a little background information about myself: I have a degree in Human Development and Family Studies, I have worked for Early Childhood Intervention (developmental services for children birth through 35 months old) for 5 years, and I was the director of a well-​known Austin area private preschool. With my work experience, I have spent time in many different preschool, learning center and daycare settings.
Ms. Davida and her staff are outstanding. Our daughter is excited to go to school each day to see her loving teacher and friends. The teachers helped immensely with getting our daughter potty trained when she turned 2. She is able to recognize and name all of her letters, whether capitalized or lower case. Then she tells me what sound a particular letter makes and what words start with a particular letter. She has been able to write her name since she was 34 months old. Evidence of a wide range of learning and daily activity assignments cover the walls of the school and are sent home regularly. I appreciate her teachers for their ability to see her potential and push her to the next stage.
When I returned from maternity, I didn’t realize how hard it would be for me to start my son at school. On his first day, I was relieved to be greeted by both Ms. Davida and Ms. Patti, who were there to walk me through, step by step, what I needed to do. I really appreciate them taking the time to listen to my requests and implement them. They are very in tune with my baby. They let me know if he seems like he is ready to increase his bottles, notify me if they think he is starting to get a diaper rash, if he slept well, and every learning activity that occurred in his classroom.
The teachers are in constant communication with me. They celebrate each milestone with me and send me pictures of my children all of the time. If my children are ever sick, or on a rare occasion, get a boo-​boo, the teachers are very quick to notify and provide me as much detail as possible. My children are more advanced now than they were at their previous preschool and I know it is largely due to Wonder Years’ priorities and the care, attention and learning environment these teachers provide.
In addition to all of these superb qualities of Wonder Years, there are additional perks to enrolling your children here. Whether you are breast-​feeding or using formula, there is a nursing room for mother’s to be able to come spend time with and feed their child. All meals are provided at no additional cost. This includes infant formula and baby food. In the infant classroom, you will never see more than 4 infants, in comparison to other centers that will have 10 infants to two teachers in a classroom.
Wonder Years has been awarded 4 stars as a Texas Rising Star school, which means they follow higher standards and guidelines than just the minimum standards required for every childcare facility. The higher quality is apparent and embedded into all they do. I highly recommend Wonder Years Infant Center and Preschool.
