Learn More About The Wonder Years Academy

The Wonder Years Academy is proud to be a veteran-owned business. 

I proudly served my country as a U.S. Army officer after graduating from the U.S. Military Academy at West Point.

After tours, which included South Korea and a combat tour in Saudi Arabia, my wife (also a veteran) and I were faced with the daunting task of finding a child daycare center for our newborn son.

With the closest family being 700 miles away, we had to come up with daycare and fast!

To say the least, it was a very scary endeavor. The excitement of becoming parents was really incredible as you know. However, the prospect of leaving our six-week-old new baby with strangers was becoming overwhelming for us. I'll never forget the feeling we had when we couldn't find a daycare center where we felt comfortable.

Our story had a very happy ending because we found someone who took the time to understand our needs as a family. The meticulous nature with which she went about her daily routine and the professionalism she showed us and the love she showed for my son made our experience wonderful.  

This is the model upon which we have built our business. This is the experience you can expect when your family enters through our doors each morning.  

We aim to make the transition to child daycare natural for parents of new infants and young children.

At The Wonder Years Academy, this is what we have created and this is what we work every day to achieve.

I've been in your shoes.

At The Wonder Years Academy, we work tirelessly to ensure we continue to support the mission we initially set out to accomplish, which is providing high-quality childcare, preschool, and kindergarten while earning the parent's trust and confidence each day we open our doors.
