We are now one month into school! Routines have been established, friendships are beginning to form, and learning through play is happening every day! Our World of Wonder teachers are capturing the development of our students through observation, engaging interactions, and anecdotal notes. Student growth and learning is tracked using our research based assessment tool, Teaching Strategies Gold. Teaching Strategies Gold focuses on specific items through a variety of domains that assess the whole child. Assessment data will be shared with families at our upcoming parent-teacher conferences in mid-November. Looking for more information on TSG? Click the link below.

Ann Majchrowski has been working at World of Wonder for 9 years! She has worked in our school age childcare, as a GSRP associate teacher, as a parent-child coordinator for our playgroups, as our family service coordinator, and teaches three year old preschool.

I am a Fenton Tiger Family!! We have two kids, Clare and Phillip who attend AGS and Tomek-Eastern! My husband Paul and I love to do all things nature! We enjoy going on hikes and walking our Dutch Shepherd, Sadie around town. We also are a foodie family and love to try all the local restaurant stops.

I look forward to having a great school year and making connections with all of our WoW families!

Ann will be Acting Director while Marissa Cobleigh is out on maternity leave!

Parents at WoW (PAW) will be meeting Wednesday October 25th from 9-10:15 AM in the WoW Library. We will have Easter Seals as our guest speaker to discuss their resources and services available to families. We will also be reviewing upcoming events, share volunteer opportunities, and more! Younger siblings are invited to attend.

Please join us for our first annual grand event at World of Wonder! Our guests will meet in the library first for a short presentation and light refreshments. Then, you will get the chance to visit with your student.

All guests will need to preregister. We are limiting it to two guests per student. They will also need to bring their ID to check into our Visitor Aware system.

We are having a building wide pajama day on Halloween. We are asking for no costumes please.

Parents are asked to notify WoW if their child is absent for any reason. If a child develops a contagious disease (ex: pink eye, RSV, strep throat, ringworm, chicken pox), parents of all children exposed to the disease will be notified via written notice and email. A child who has had an illness should not return to school until released by the physician and is able to participate in the program as usual.

A child showing symptoms of illness while at WoW will be isolated until he or she can be taken home. Fevers are general indicators of illness. A child with a 99.4 degree Fahrenheit temperature under the arm is expected to go home. Parents or their designees are expected to pick up the child within one hour of the time they are contacted. If the child is sent home ill, a physician’s note authorizing the child’s return to group care may be requested, depending on circumstances. Children are also expected to be fever free for 24 hours, without fever reducing medication, before returning back to WoW. This measure is necessary in order to comply with state law and curtail the spread of infection. World of Wonder reserves the right to refuse care due to illness and from suspicious rashes.

As an additional effort to improve the safety and security of our buildings, each school will be implementing a visitor management system called "Visitor Aware."

Visitor Aware is a visitor management and screening service designed specifically to help secure our schools. This provides an additional layer of security for your children by validating the identities of anyone entering the premises, determining if they are a potential threat, and keeping accurate records of all school visits. Be sure to have your Driver's License in hand the first time you visit.

Join PAW (Parents at WoW): This is our version of a PTO. A way to meet other parents and to help advise and support our program. We would love to have representatives from every classroom.

Help Support WoW's Community Share Room: Donate new or gently used clothing or household goods. Families can also come shop for FREE stuff!
