Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to be an educator to have my child at Little Wonders?

At Little Wonders, we warmly welcome applications from all families seeking a nurturing environment for their child. While we prioritize educators in our enrollment process, reflecting our commitment to supporting those who fuel public education in Nashville, we also extend our embrace to our community families.

Do you have a long waiting list?

As a newer center, our waiting list is shorter than most, presenting a unique opportunity for families seeking immediate care for toddlers (ages 1 & 2) and preschoolers. While our infant waitlist remains healthy, we encourage all families to apply – especially educators, who receive priority consideration in our enrollment process.

Securing a spot for your child at Little Wonders is within reach, and we're excited to welcome new families to our vibrant community. Don't hesitate to reach out and start the enrollment process today!

When will I be notified about admissions?

For those eager to enroll their child for our July start date, admissions notifications will be sent out in early April. Meanwhile, families seeking immediate openings will be processed promptly as applications are received.

At Little Wonders, we understand the importance of timely communication and strive to make the enrollment process as smooth as possible for all families. Whether you're planning for the upcoming school year or in need of immediate care, we're here to support you every step of the way.

Are meals served and included in tuition costs?

At this time, we do not provide food services at Little Wonders ELC. Families are required to send in all food and drink for their child each day, ensuring personalized care and catering to individual preferences.

For toddlers and preschoolers, our structured day includes designated morning snack, lunchtime, and afternoon snack periods right in the classroom.

Additionally, we understand the importance of accommodating infants' unique feeding schedules. We meticulously follow each infant's individual feeding plan, providing the attentive care and support they need during this crucial stage of development.

Does Little Wonders operate on an academic calendar year?

At our center, we provide year-round care, ensuring continuity and support for your child throughout the seasons. While we cherish the opportunity to nurture young minds every day, we do observe some closures for holidays and professional development.

Quarterly, we set aside dedicated time for professional development (PD) days to equip our educators with the latest tools and techniques, ensuring they are fully prepared to meet the evolving needs of your child(ren). We strive to align these PD days with district breaks (ie: fall/spring break) to minimize disruption to your schedule.

In June, we offer an enriching summer program for families seeking continued care. However, we understand that not all families require summer care. For educator families opting out of the summer program, they have the flexibility to save on tuition fees while securing their child's spot for the upcoming school year.
