Effective communication is essential for the success of your child at Little Wonder. We offer multiple communication streams, including Brightwheel, a leading app for managing childcare that provides real-time updates. Additionally, a monthly newsletter keeps parents informed about upcoming events. Parents are also encouraged to engage in in-person conversations with teachers and administrators.

Sick policies protect our entire learning community. It is imperative that parents are transparent and forthcoming with all communicable diseases that their child might be experiencing prior to arrival or over the weekend. If your child is sick, please keep them home until they are well. If your child gets sick while they're in class, we’ll notify you and request that you pick your child up within the hour. We will separate them in the administrator office, by having them lay on a cot, until you arrive.

Little Wonder Learning Center prioritizes your child's safety and security. Following consultations with the Maplewood Police and Fire Department, we have implemented the following procedures:

• Access to the facility is restricted to LWLC staff and parents through Alta Openpath; all visitors must be buzzed in.
• Enrollment is by appointment only, except for enrolled parents.
• Dismissals require administrator confirmation of parent/guardian identity.
• Pick-up by someone other than parents or legal guardians must be confirmed via email or text through our parent app.
• Additional family members and visitors must check in with an administrator and provide valid ID before pick-up.
• Closed-circuit cameras monitor classrooms and common areas (excluding restrooms) and the exterior, under 24-hour surveillance.
• Regular emergency training is provided for staff, covering protocols for various emergencies.
• Children’s bathroom doors remain open at all times.
• The on-site playground is locked while children play.

As co-owner of LWLC, I believe that our teachers are the core of the Little Wonder Learning Center. By choosing quality teachers, paying them well, and providing the tools they need, we create an environment where they can nurture children effectively. This commitment ensures parents feel secure about their child’s safety and care. For added peace of mind, parents have access to our security camera feeds, allowing them to see their child’s daily activities
