About Us
Our program offers an enriched early education curriculum designed for toddlers and preschoolers. It incorporates a wide range of valuable skills, including healthy living habits, yoga, gardening, music, art, math, pre-reading, language, science, social studies, and much more.
Every month, your children will experience a diverse and engaging program. They will actively explore the alphabet, math, and science concepts while delving into intriguing social study themes. Our daily schedule includes a music program, arts and crafts sessions, and storytelling, providing your children with a well-rounded and enjoyable learning experience.
Country of The Month
In "country of the month" program students embark on a journey to learn about a different country each month through various sensory and classroom activities. We invite families to share their unique cultural heritage and traditions with the class. This allows students to learn firsthand about different customs, fostering empathy and mutual respect.
Wonder Time
Our “Wonder Time” programs include The Artist of the month, Yoga, Cooking, and Spanish. Our Wonder time activities draw inspiration from diverse cultures. Through creative expression, children gain a deeper understanding of cultural symbols and artistic styles, contributing to an appreciation of art and language.
Our Approach
At The Wonder School, we prioritize the holistic development of each child, fostering growth in cognitive, physical, social, and emotional domains.

More About Us
Our Mission
Welcome to The Wonder School, a reputable preschool nestled in Belmont, Massachusetts. Our core mission revolves around offering families an outstanding early education program within a secure and nurturing setting.
We are dedicated to providing each child with the perfect platform to blossom and flourish socially, physically, and cognitively. Our emphasis on creating a joyful and compassionate atmosphere ensures that every little one thrives in a happy and caring environment.
Program Philosophy
At The Wonder School, we firmly believe that children thrive and develop best when exposed to a rich and stimulating environment. To achieve this, we maintain a careful balance of child-centered activities, age-appropriate educational materials, and well-suited equipment.
We foster a love for learning by encouraging a mix of pre-literacy and numeracy activities, structured free choice, and hands-on experiences. Through this approach, children develop a profound sense of pride in their accomplishments and experience the joy of discovering new things.
Our programs are designed to holistically nurture every aspect of a child's development, focusing on cognitive, physical, social, and emotional skills. Children are encouraged to explore the world around them through engaging environments, manipulative play, robust academic programming, active play, and nurturing guidance.
At The Wonder School, we maintain an inclusive approach and do not discriminate based on race, religion, cultural heritage, political beliefs, national origin, marital status, or sexual orientation. Additionally, children are not required to be toilet trained to attend, as we cater to their individual needs and provide a supportive and accepting atmosphere for all.
Curriculum
At The Wonder School, we embrace a thematic curriculum that promotes engaging and immersive learning experiences. Within each group, we strike a balance between teacher-planned activities and child-centered exploration, driven by the children's interests, abilities, and individual needs.
Our early education curriculum is thoughtfully designed to cater to the whole child, encompassing social-emotional, language, cognitive, physical motor, self-help, and creative expression skills.
We prioritize tailoring daily activities to suit each child's unique interests and requirements. Through hands-on experiences, developmentally appropriate materials, and interactions with caring and knowledgeable adults, children develop the essential skills that foster confidence, independence, and successful learning.
During our exciting Wonder Time, The Wonder School offers a diverse range of activities. Each week, your child will have the opportunity to participate in Yoga, Cooking, Language, Dance, Drama, and learn various art techniques. We bring in special teachers for yoga, music, and drama, enriching the learning journey of our students.
Our comprehensive approach includes teaching the alphabet, math, and science concepts, as well as exploring new social science themes. Daily music programs, arts and crafts sessions, and storytelling sessions further enhance the children's learning and overall experience at The Wonder School.
