What We Do
At Wonderschool (www.wonderschool.com) our mission is to ensure every child has access to early education that helps them realize their potential. There is a major shortage of childcare and preschools in the United States and we believe one of the best ways to increase access for families is to help teachers start great child cares and preschools out of their homes. We provide assistance with licensing, setting up a classroom, setting pricing, building a website, matching parents to their program, operating a school day to day, and everything in between. Our goal is to build product to let teachers focus on what they do best – caring for and educating children
