Question:
What makes Wild & Wunderful?
Answer:
I offer individual care and attention, planned learning experiences and mixed age group. This encourages children to build strong bonds with others not just of their own age. Children are more apt to learn through peer-to-peer interactions. Children of mixed aged groups tend to have better academic and social skills than traditionally schooled children.
I provide a dedicated childcare space, an eco friendly certified program and a blend of Montessori and Regio Emilia approach to early education. I am North Dakota Bright and Early rated. I also focus on small group size. I am a Licensed Preschool as well as Wunderled Certified.

Do you offer any discounts for more than one child?

Question:
Why early dismissal days?
Answer:
I believe in providing the highest quality early education experiences here at Wild and Wunderful. Because there is early dismissal, I am able to best dedicate my time to preparation, planning and to also further my own education. This small amount of extra time offers me the necessary time to curate activities, experiences and experiments that better the growth and development of your children.
Question:
What does my child need each day?
We try to spend as much time as possible outside. Please be mindful of the forecast and dress appropriately. Wild and Wunderful provides all needed outdoor gear for every child while attending my program. Nature should be for everyone regardless of socio economic status. I want your children to have to best outdoor experiences without being cold or wet. It is asked that parents/guardians dress their children in clothes for messy play and safe closed toed shoes. Seasonal reminders will be sent out via Brightwheel.
