Wonder of Learning Org. "WOLO"

Won’t ever recommend this place. My son went there and the staff spent a lot of time using their phones while supervising children. The only teacher that was always very kind was Donna. One of the owners yelled at my child, and he was so scared that didn’t want to go back (eventually she apologized but it was too late). At the beginning it seemed like a nice space, but honestly it was a very unpleasant experience for our family. Plus every month there was confusion with the hours and the payment...

If you care for your child's safety, DO NOT SEND HIM TO WOLO. My son was not able to settle in; he has been to one preschool and full time daycare before , and he takes only a few hours to settle in. Even on the very first day of his going to school/daycare, it was only a matter of an hour or so. But I am sorry to say he did not mix up at WOLO. The reason being, there was not any effort on the part of teacher or staff to make him comfortable and get settled. First day, my wife had to sit in and they went home early. The teacher never cared to give some extra attention so that he can be settled; every child needs some time to get adjusted to a new environment and I believe the teachers should be trained to do exactly the same, but it did not happen. Second day, my wife told me that the teacher or staff lady at the desk was making faces on seeing my son, may be she was thinking that the "crying" child is here again. It's my first time experience at any kids care that the teachers or staff feels fed up of the kids, really bad, I am sorry. Secondly, I am not satisfied with my son's safety at WOLO. Because on the third day, when I dropped my son; we were sitting in our car outside and my son was able to walk out of the school premises (not only out of class but out of the building) and came to our car; nobody cared to stop him. There is no mechanism at your building or your staff never stopped my son to not to go out of the class. I really feel unsafe to leave my son at WOLO. It's absolutely shocking. You have a really busy road in your front; no child should be able to come out of the building but it's not the case. The staff tells me that they have a buzzer which sounds when anyone leaves the building; are you really serious? Is it a restaurant or store; what if any child walks out and nobody looks who is using the front door. Staff also tells that their building doors are heavy which can not be pushed by a kid. So, in nutshell, this is their safety mechanism for your kids at this place. NEVER SEND YOUR KIDS HERE.

Everyone is wonderful and the space is beautiful. Staff are very caring. My son has been going for over a year, since he was 2, and loves to go there. I always feel comfortable knowing he is safe and happy there. We've never had any issues.

My son (who is two) has been going to Wolo since it opened and I can't say enough good things. It's a bright open space with engaging toys and great educational spaces set up each day (water table, puzzles, magnetic play). They have a child sized toilet which is a plus for the final stages of potty training. The teachers are fantastic and best of all my son looks forward to going each time. I would enthusiastically recommend this to anyone who needs minimal childcare and a bit of prep for preschool.

My daughter went here for almost 2 years and loved it. All the staff were really great with the kids and they always had lots of fun things going on. The flexible drop-in system really worked for us and staff were always friendly. Thank you for having such a wonderful bright, clean and safe space available in a city where childcare is very difficult to find.

Our 7 year old son has attended both WOLO after school care and piano classes over the past 3 years. WOLO brings that combination of professionalism and warmth. Our interactions with staff have been extremely positive. Thank you Shruti and Angela for all your assistance setting up our regular piano classes and piano teachers Chad and Ashley- you guys have all made a positive impression on our son! Piano classes during a pandemic via zoom has been a way better experience that I thought it would!

I highly recommend this preschool. Everything is perfect. Thank you so much for such a great program.Especially thanks to Mrs Solmaz. She cares about our kids a lot. She is such a amazing teacher.

I would never recommend this school to anyone . I had my 5 year old boy registered in the Winter Camp for 2 weeks and I had a terrible experience with instructors and customer service. Overall, instructors there are not friendly and my son did not like the place and the experience at all. Also the location is very inconvenient, a lot of traffic, just few spot to parking and insecure location with lots of homeless and addicted people nearby. Moreover, in the middle of the second week, with just 2 hour notice by email, they closed the school and we`re asked to pick up our son at 3pm as an instructor at school tested positive for COVID. At the first moment, when I called before heading to the school, we were told that the instructor was there for a few minutes and then left, very weird situation, once someone who was expecting a COVID result was not suppose to be there. Then later , someone from school emailed us saying that this information was inaccurate, but yet we are not sure what happened, as they did not make any effort to explain, just left us with no answer or winter camp for the rest of the week . The worst part was how the staff handled the situation in the day when the kids were released earlier. When we got there, all kids are seated in the lobby and an instructor, named Jessica, was very rude with us. She didn`t make any effort to explain what happened or even to help us out to get our son`s stuff as he looked confused by the situation and as the school would not remain open for the rest of the week. I asked her for help as because of COVID protocols I could not enter the school, but she remained still saying that he was the one responsible for his stuff and he should be able to get all by himself. Then I told her calmly if she could please make sure that he did not forget anything, then she clearly almost kicked us out of the place and was very rude. We felt very bad, and when I told a friend of mine of mine what happened , she said that they were treat the same by her and she was also very disappointed with this unacceptable behavior. Later, when we asked our kids if she treated they well during the day, both said that she was always on the phone and was very moody with kids as well. And they said they did not want to go back to that school anymore. Lastly, but not less important, the customer service is terrible. It has been almost 1 month since they were supposed to refund us the money for the 2 and 1/2 days of cancellation, almost $200, and even though we`ve sent them emails requesting the money, we did not receive yet. However, what is interesting is that for charging they are the opposite. One day I picked up my son with 3 minute late , and in the next day , at 8am I got an email and a charge of $10 for the 3 min late pick up. To summarize, I would never register my kid in this school again. I did because a friend of mine recommended but after all this issues and mistreatment I would rather spend more time looking for a better school with polite and friendly staff and instructors. They are very expensive and they do not offer good quality service or good quality instructors.
