ORIGIN

Our Story

Wonderschool's CEO and Co-Founder, Chris, met many parents who were anxious about finding child care, as well as educators who were not sure how to connect with parents and operate a well-ran child care business. He knew that there had to be a better way to address this issue for families and teachers.

Wonderschool was founded to enable all families to access high-quality early childhood care. Today, the platform empowers new and experienced providers to run their own in-home businesses while providing a much-needed service to families in their communities.

OUR SOLUTION

Our Core Values

Be Open and Transparent

To collaborate effectively, we should share blind spots, areas for improvement, and we can’t shy away from tackling difficult or challenging tasks, issues or the truth.

Work Backwards

We set aggressive goals and then work backwards, setting granular goals that we track regularly. As we learn more, we make adjustments to meet our goals.

Every Voice Matters

At Wonderschool, everyone's voice is valued, no matter their position. You are a member of this company because your perspectives and ideas are essential. We urge you to speak up, participate, collaborate, and make sure the best idea wins.

Make Providers More Money

We are laser focused on helping providers make money and earn more than they ever imagined they could because of the Wonderschool platform.

Be A Driver

Drivers get satisfaction from making things happen, feeling a strong sense of ownership for their projects & teams. They demand high standards and exude energy, urgency, ambition, boldness. Faced with a challenge, they say, “Why not?” rather than “That’s Impossible.”

Delight Customers

Ensure that every customer in our ecosystem find maximum delight from both our products and services.

Be Scrappy

We're not intimidated by ambiguity. We’re not daunted by limited resources. We're scrappy: we innovate, we collaborate, we take some risks, we learn fast, and we double-down on quick wins.

No "I" In Wonderschool

We’re a compound startup building, deploying, and going to market with products and services we develop every day. Cross-functional collaboration isn’t a luxury–it’s a critical part of our identity and a necessity for the success of our ourselves and our customers.

Do The Right Thing

When in doubt, do the right thing. Operate with integrity both inside and outside the business.

Act With Urgency

As a category creator and first-mover in our industry, fast time to execution is critical to our reputation, and the value we provide to our partners and customers. We believe that running fast is part of what makes us win.

PROVIDER TESTIMONIALS

You're in Good Company

Heather
Provider in Nebraska

Parents like the convenience of paying online, so they don't have to worry about bringing their checkbook or stopping at the bank to withdraw cash. With Wonderschool's billing service, neither I nor the families have to pay fees and the tuition payment process is seamless every month!

Katie
Provider in Los Angeles

Wonderschool is an excellent tool for a provider who works out of their home alone. It condenses everything you need into one app. You can easily loop in families about what children are eating and learning at your program in a matter of minutes.

Mananda
Program Director in North Carolina

Wonderschool offers an effortless way to connect with new families who want to enroll in my program. When they sign up, Wonderschool also helps me manage daily activities and messaging.

Amy
Provider in Nebraska

The biggest benefit I have received from Wonderschool is the automated billing service. I no longer have to remind families when tuition is due. I also don't have to continually send them monthly statements, as they are able to view them right off their Wonderschool parent portal. It saves me time, which is priceless!
