About us
At Wonderschool (www.wonderschool.com) our mission is to ensure every child has access to early education that helps them realize their potential. There is a major shortage of childcare and preschools in the United States and we believe one of the best ways to increase access for families is to help teachers start great child cares and preschools out of their homes. We provide assistance with licensing, setting up a classroom, setting pricing, building a website, matching parents to their program, operating a school day to day, and everything in between. Our goal is to build product to let teachers focus on what they do best – caring for and educating children.

At Wonderschool, we believe increasing the quantity of high-quality home-based child care and early education programs is key to solving the child care crisis in the nation. CEO and founder Chris Bennett shares thoughts on the value of home-based programs in Kimanzi Constable's feature on Parents.com. Check out our website (wonderschool.com) to learn more about how Wonderschool helps providers create child care and early education programs out of their homes and helps families navigate the process of finding the right program through our marketplace. #childcare #earlychildhoodeducation #parents #edtech https://lnkd.in/gWeQt2fc

Meet Shari H., an incredible entrepreneur we partnered with to help her start her own childcare business in Detroit, Michigan. Shari represents a new shift for Wonderschool, where we not only help entrepreneurs launch home-based programs, but also support them in starting childcare centers. Her program is now full with 24 children, and she’s already looking to expand. Just seven months into running her childcare program, Shari is earning four times what she did in her previous job. The majority of the children attend her program through subsidies from the State of Michigan, and many of the parents work long shifts in local factories. Shari was able to get licensed, launch, and fill her program through the Wonderschool marketplace, and she manages her business using the Wonderschool Child Care Management Solution—all within 5–6 months. None of this would have been possible without the great leadership of Emily Laidlaw, our partner in this work, and the commitment of Governor Whitmer and Lt. Governor Gilchrist to children, entrepreneurship, and Michigan's economy. At Wonderschool, we’re proud to support providers like Shari H. as they grow and thrive.

Wishing you all a wonderful feel-good Friday with this inspiring post by Chris!
Proud Wonderschool moment to share and proud Founder moment to share. In Mississippi, we helped 37 providers get registered or licensed in just one month. That's more than one new program each day, bringing relief to families in a state that’s majority (60%) child care desert. In those 31 days, 37 new programs created 1,032 new child care slots. Please let me say that again—1,032 new child care slots in schools and programs across the state. Child care programs are a lifeline for our communities and thanks to these local entrepreneurs, families are able to secure quality and accessible child care. 🙏 Thanks to these local entrepreneurs, parents are able to return to work. Thanks to these local entrepreneurs, the local economy is able to benefit from increased productivity, earnings and revenue. 🙏 Thank you to our Mississippi Wonderschool team and product team for ensuring these programs succeed. ✅ And especially, thank you to Mississippi’s government leaders for coming together and recognizing the importance of supporting the owners of child care programs. Together, with the right tools and partners, we can continue to chip away at the child care crisis. This is what Wonderschool is all about.
