WonderWell

Son has gone here for 3 years and is incredibly well prepared for his primary school journey ahead. Well worth the hefty investment.

Wonderwell is an incredible place. My son has gone to Wonderwell for 2 years and he LOVES it. Every aspect of this school is consciously crafted towards the little ones, from the facility itself to the ways in which staff interact with the children. It is a truly special place.

Wonderwell delivered, by far, the best early education experience for our kids that we could have ever hoped for. Wonderwell is the first community we got involved with after arriving in Austin a few years ago and it has had such a huge impact on our and our childrens' lives. From the facilities, to the curriculum, to every single person on staff, Wonderwell creates an environment where your child will be excited to learn and will feel cared for and loved. And now that we've had one child leave and start kindergarten, we've seen just how well prepared kids are when they leave Wonderwell to embark on their learning journeys.

What a beautiful, wonderful school! We moved recently and will miss Wonderwell so much. Top notch educators, facility and curriculum. You and your kids will adore this place.

WonderWell preschool deserves way more than five stars. If you are looking for a Reggio Preschool where your child will have zest for life, love, joy, confidence, kindness, and a love for learning daily, this is the place. We have been attending WonderWell for over a year, and it has truly been one of the best decisions we have made as parents. I have watched my child develop in the most exceptional ways since beggining at WonderWell. If you ask him directly what he thinks of his school, he would tell you "WonderWell is a very special place filled with kindness" and I could not agree more. Every aspect of the school, the curriculum, the staff, and the building itself, has been intentionally and purposefully thought out, and hand picked to engage children throughout their learning experience. Each and every staff member at WonderWell is an exceptional person and leader in early childhood education. The entire staff from the top down, The Director and owner of the school, to the teachers, to the security team, they are each hand picked, and bring a special light and joy to the school. I do not write reviews, in fact this is my first time ever doing so. I am compelled to share our experience because this school has been such an incredible blessing to our life. The exceptional group of educators, school community, the parent friends we have made, and the incredible KIND group of children that my child now is friends with, I am forever grateful for this very special school. I only wish we would have enrolled my child sooner.

Our son started at Wonderwell this year and words can not begin to describe how amazing our experience has been so far. His teachers and the entire staff have been amazing, not to mention the beautiful campus meticulously designed with early childhood development in mind. We have been blown away by every detail of his education and growth and we wish we would have known about it sooner. Looking forward to years to come at Wonderwell for both of our children! What a blessing it has been!

I could not possibly say enough good things about WonderWell and our family's experiences so far. Our daughter (now 2 ½ years old) has been enrolled at WonderWell (in the pre-primary program) for about 6 months, and she has thrived in more ways than we could have ever imagined. She LOVES WonderWell, and she looks forward to going daily -- she often doesn’t want to leave at the end of the day! The facility is an immaculate, state-of-the-art building. So much thought clearly went into the design, and so much time was obviously invested in its creation. At the same time, there is a certain simplicity about the shape and architecture that lends itself to a clean, clutter-free space. Speaking of clean, WonderWell maintains a seemingly pristine facility, which is something that I think all parents can appreciate. The focal point of the facility is the beautiful courtyard where the students are free to roam, explore, and play. As someone with a health and fitness background and career, I could not be more pleased to see so much emphasis on time outdoors and movement. Along those lines, the physical education/enrichment program is absolutely, hands down the best you will find at any level of school. The faculty is an absolute cast of all-stars with truly impressive academic credentials (many with Master’s degrees) and performance. Their energy and exuberance are palpable and contagious, and it is only surpassed by their compassion for their students and their passion for guiding the children. The teachers invest an enormous amount of time with their students, the parents, and preparing their classrooms and curriculum. They are not just exceptional educators, they are incredible people. WonderWell oozes with positivity, kindness, energy, and compassion, and that is the by-product of the people who make it that way. Something is truly impressive to me is the excellence in communication at WonderWell -- be it in person, through email, or via app (the school uses Remind and SeeSaw to keep in touch with parents daily). There’s an enormous amount of time spent on effectively communicating, and that is something I think all parents can appreciate. WonderWell hinges on the Reggio Emilia philosophy, and what we really appreciate about it is the emphasis on the child and her natural curiosity, facilitating a growth mindset and inviting the opportunity to learn (not be told) valuable life lessons. It helps the children explore and define the boundaries in a healthy, appropriate manner, which is crucial to long-term learning as well as mental, emotional, and physical health. WonderWell is not just a school, it’s a community, and we feel so blessed to be a part of the WonderWell family. We love that WonderWell is so inviting to families and sponsor so many events. There’s family Friday, International Day, the Zilker Fun Run, the Fall Carnival…and more. On top of that, WonderWell routinely has community service projects where the kids learn to give back and donate through charities. Community and philanthropy are very important to us (and to emphasize to our daughter), and we are so grateful that WonderWell places such an emphasis on these things. WonderWell takes safety and compliance incredibly seriously. There’s been a police officer on campus since August, and there are multiple points of secure access that can’t be broached without proper credentials, and the school is virtually incognito until you’re in the building. Last but certainly not least is the one and only, talented Ashley Reinhardt. She is a visionary, and we are indebted with gratitude to her for her immense sacrifice and investment to create WonderWell. We could not more highly recommend WonderWell. It has quite literally been one of the greatest blessings in our lives since our little one was born.

If we lived in the area of the school both of my children would be enrolled! Heart and soul went into this school and it shows!!!!
