  • Don’t pick up a DoorDash order for them they will order over $100 order then not even tip. Make them get they own food next time or starve

  • My twins started going here at 6 months, and they absolutely love it! The curriculum is perfect for their age, and I love all the crafts they do for cute little keepsakes! All the staff here are amazing, and Mr. James is great at communicating and working with you!

  • Our daughter started going here at about 6 months old. when our babysitter gave us short notice that she couldn't watch her anymore. After starting, it was with 1 month or so & she was crawling and learning so much! She is always excited to see the staff when dropping off. We love the staff & are very thankful for all of them and the care they give our daughter!!

  • In January we had to move my daughter from a home daycare she had been at from 1-4 years old that she loved. We had a rough time with the first daycare we took her to and she did not enjoy her time there. In fact, she would shake and cry all night and in the mornings. Knowing something was off, we switched her to the brand new location for Wonderland Children’s Academy on Northshore. It was like night and day for my child! She was super excited every day to go there and she loves her teacher and the helpers in her classroom. She has not fussed or said anything but positive things about her school. The owner Mr. James is fantastic and always keeps the school in tip top shape. I’m very happy we took a chance on a new daycare for our sweet girl!

  • Our daughter was 6 months old when we had to put her in daycare. I was very very scared and skeptical to even think about it! I called Mr. James while I was at work and he told me to come in! So i left work drove to Wonderland still in my skeptical mind but Mr. James made me feel very comfortable let me ask all my questions and was very informative on how the daycare ran! I was so impressed and I said sign me up this spot is mine! Our daughter absolutely loves her teachers and we do too! I know when I take her to daycare I am leaving my baby in a friendly/family environment and I wouldn't want it any other way! The staff are always so happy to see our daughter when we come in they all know her by name! Thank you everyone at Wonderland Children's Academy!!!

  • The team at Wonderland Children’s Academy have been great for our son. We had our son at another daycare in town and he was getting bite on a regular bases, so we enrolled him at Wonderland. I’m feel much safer having our son at Wonderland. The teachers and staff are truly caring and actually watch the children. Additionally, the daycare is well staffed unlike many around town. The daycare is one of the cleanest around, and the director is great to do all he can to stop the kids from spreading germs. Our son has respiratory issues and has far fewer infections since being at Wonderland. The teachers are great to incorporate curriculum into the children’s play. At two our son is already counting and using 3-4 word sentences to talk. My husband and I have nothing but great things to say about Wonderland and would recommend them to anyone.
