Through lessons as well as hands-on play & exploration, children are able to learn, grow, & build important skills in a nurturing environment. Welcome to Small Wonders at Wilkes-Barre Academy – Where Their Love for Learning Begins! At Small Wonders at Wilkes-Barre Academy, we nurture young minds through a balanced blend of exploration, education, and play. Our programs are thoughtfully designed to support every stage of early childhood development. Our informal program introduces children to essential early concepts such as the alphabet, numbers, colors, and shapes. Each month, we explore a special theme—ranging from seasons and holidays to safety, and even learning their home address and phone number—making learning meaningful and fun. Building on these foundational skills, our formal educational program offers a more structured approach. Children delve into vowels, phonics, basic math, early geography, and beginner Spanish. This curriculum prepares them for future academic success while keeping learning engaging and enjoyable. Our Pre-K classroom is led by a certified early childhood educator with specialized training in kindergarten readiness. Small Wonders at Wilkes-Barre Academy is licensed annually, and all staff meet or exceed state requirements for early childhood education. We take pride in our team’s professionalism, compassion, and dedication. We also prioritize physical and creative development. Our center features large motor skill equipment, allowing children to build strength and coordination during free play. Music and art are integral parts of every class, fostering creativity and self-expression. At Small Wonders at Wilkes-Barre Academy, we are committed to providing a rich, engaging, and well-rounded educational experience for every child—where their love for learning begins!
