About Me

Little Wonders is a wonderful learning center located right here in Missouri City. This is where talent, imagination and professional skills are being dedicated to the teaching of our young children. We understand that children learn differently. Through observation and listening, we encourage each individual's unique learning styles; while focusing on their physical, educational and emotional needs. All of our teachers are professionally qualified with combined expertise in education, speech & hearing therapy, bilingual education and English as a Second Language. With a low student-teacher ratio, we provide your child with the attention they need. Little Wonders Learning Center is located at the corner of Lexington Blvd. and Dulles Ave. In this center, you will find a number of warm, loving teachers committed to putting children first. This isn't your ordinary day care facility.

"A snowflake from the North Pole"
by Kaelynn


Our International Festival will begin at 3:00 p.m.,
Friday, December 17th! 
All family and friends are welcome to join the festivities!

To kick off the Festival, the children of Little Wonders will perform holiday songs! 
Toddler 1 through PreK classes will all be part of the performance!  This is a show you do not want to miss!  Please dress your child in the colors red, white, green or black. 

10,000 pounds of snow have been ordered from the North Pole! 
Please bring gloves, snow boots, extra pants, socks, a shirt, and shoes for your child.  For more information on the snow party and their rules click on the following link.......


Our snow fund raiser is going on every morning in the hallway.  Breakfast and ornaments have been provided by the children and parents to help raise money to cover the cost of the snow.
Our goal is to raise $700, and we have raised $186 so far.

Thank you to all of the parents who have donated money and breakfast goodies!


The International Festival is a great way for us to try new foods, and learn about tastes from around the world. 
Please sign up to bring a dish that represents the nationality of your family!
Sign-ups are available by your classrooms to bring in your favorite international holiday dish!

YUM!

Play Time

We are always so busy when we are awake! 
We love to play together.......
Hide, crawl, and play peek-a-boo in the tents........
We love to watch all the action that our friends give us to see........................
We also check on our friends who can't crawl yet and make sure they are entertained!
"my friends make me so happy!!"
These balls are fun to play with..........
But trying to pull this sock off is even more fun!!!!
Watch out!!!! Some of us like to try to pull at our clothes in stead of playing with toys ;0)
"Ahhhhh!  Now I am starting to crawl and move around, and getting stuck in a position is not fun!"  ;0)
Look at how my friends come and show me new ways to play with these toys...........
And all the while, our precious little new addition to our class is sleeping!  He is not bothered at all!

Sam & Target

Yes!  The children of Little Wonders officially have pets!  We have adopted "Sam" and "Target"!!!  How can you not LOVE the names of our new little turtles????  Isn't it funny that these are the names the children came up with?  We absolutely LOVE it! 
Sam is the small one, and Target is the bigger turtle.  They were donated by Ms. Fauzia!  Dimi and Ereeni's family donated the tank, and Hendrix brought in some big rocks for them.

The children, according to licensing, are not allowed to hold them, so they will be cared for by the teachers and any parent who volunteers over holidays.
  The children will be able to observe them and learn about the responsibilities of caring for animals.

Aren't they so super cute??
The children helped clean and wash the new tank for them......
When the tank was clean, we put rocks and gravel in it.......
And then we put Sam and Target in......
The children LOVE them!  They are located by the art studio.  The children can say good morning and good evening to them when they come in and leave!
None of the staff have any real experience with turtles, so we welcome any advice, materials, or anything else that might make our turtles happy!

Hopefully Little Wonders will keep Sam and Target happy for many years to come!!!!

Another Masterpiece

Well, we brought a group of the infants to the art studio to paint, but at first they were only interested in......
SEA SHELLS!!!!!
When all of a sudden JJ found the paint!!!
Aha!  Lets watch what happens when they put the sea shells down and pick up the paint brushes.........
Some of us were so concerned with the paint on our hands ;0)
Look what Aven did to JJ!!!!!
Jackson was so into his painting, he had a brush in each hand and he was so involved in his work!
Ahhhh, a job well done!
But this was the cutest masterpiece!  Truly a work of art, it seems most of the paint was on their bodies instead of on the paper!
