I have used this provider for more than 6 months

Steph has been nothing but amazing and professional. My daughters looked forward to go in every day in comparison when they used to attend Lil’ Explorers. At World of Wonder I know that my children are personally taken care of and the facility is clean. I would definitely recommend Steph & her facility as she takes pride in what she does!

Stepheany is an outstanding provider. She goes above and beyond with her level of care on a daily basis. My child feels like this is her second home and has no problem kicking off her shoes and running inside as soon as her feet touch the floor. She truly treats every child like her own. Thank you for always reassuring me everyday that we made the right choice choosing you Steph!!

My daughters have attended World of Wonder Child care for the last year . I have been nothing but impressed with the whole experience. Steph has been amazing, informative and loving. She always communicates and is transparent about everything. My girls absolutely love the environment & I would highly recommend this daycare as a great place for your child.

This facility is amazing! I love how clean and organized it is for my little one. The provider has become like family to us. My child would cry when it was time to leave. She wanted to stay at world of wonder childcare. My little one has picked up so many new things. Her learning skills have improved tremendously. Compassionate, loving, caring, clean, organized, and dependable is what world of wonder is all about.

I have toured this provider's facility, but have not used its services

She holds spots for someone to give them away? Told me I had a spot then I was told I don’t have it because someone else she knew is pregnant.

Owner response : We had only talked about holding a spot for 2 weeks before I let you know my decision had changed. Also you did not even come and tour which is a definite before confirming a spot. Someone already in my care had announced during this time they were pregnant & I am for keeping families together in care. You had a whole 8 month notice to find new care & I even offered to help as I knew lots of new daycares opening up that would need spots filled. I hope you ended up finding care. Take care!
