Wonder Watch

It is hard to believe 2022 is already coming to an end! The 2022-2023 school year has been off to a great start and we look forward to more wonderful times to come in 2023.

As we enter into this holiday season, we encourage families to find meaningful ways to spend time together. The holidays can be a stressful time of the year. For your little one, it is special just to be together. Spending quality time together boost children's self-esteem and develops a positive sense of self-worth. Below are daily activities you can do at home over break that support different developmental domains such as literacy and math. The activities are quick ways to spend quality time with your child and support their learning and growth.

We wish you safe and happy holidays from everyone at World of Wonder!

Reminder that our holiday event is tomorrow evening, 5-7:30 PM. Stop by to pick up a new toy, shop our gently used toys & clothes, make an animal friendly ornament, and more! This is a community event and open to more than just World of Wonder families. Please feel free to bring family, friends, or neighbors. We look forward to seeing everyone tomorrow!

Fenton Area Public Schools has adopted a new communication plan that can be viewed on the district website. Our communication plan has a communication matrix that breaks down the different ways the district and WoW communicates with families. The plan also details how families can effectively communicate with school officials. Please reach out to Marissa Cobleigh with any questions or concerns at mcobleigh@fentonschools.org

Looking into the new year and potential inclement weather days - World of Wonder will close if Fenton Area Public Schools closes due to inclement weather. No programming will run including all childcare. If you are signed up to receive notifications through the Instant Alert System and Mobile App, you will be notified with a phone call, text, and email. It will also be posted on the FAPS website, WoW Facebook page, and local news stations.
