EARLY LEARNING & YOUTH DEVELOPMENT
Whether you’re dropping off a sleepy six-week-old or a curious fifth-grader, Young Wonders is your one-stop partner for safe, high-quality care. Our programs are DCFS-licensed, pairing evidence-based curriculum with warm, experienced educators. With hours from 6:30 a.m.–5:30 p.m., fresh meals, and classrooms that welcome children with special needs, we give every family the flexibility, stability, and encouragement they deserve.
Infants
Year Round Care
Tiny explorers flourish in our cozy, low-ratio nursery, where teachers follow the Creative Curriculum for infants and toddlers. Responsive caregiving, tummy-time play, and real-time communication with families nurture early bonds and support every milestone—so you can head to work knowing your baby is loved, safe, and thriving.
Toddlers & Pre's
Year Round Care
Toddlers and preschoolers dive into hands-on discovery that builds language, early math, and social-emotional skills. Daily small-group lessons, art, music, outdoor play, and family-style meals spark curiosity and connection, laying a confident foundation for kindergarten and beyond.
Before & After School
August - May
From the morning bell to evening pickup, Young Wonders is a reliable hub where kids finish homework, enjoy nutritious snacks, and dive into STEM, arts, and recreation activities. Our yearly site-safety checks, and life-skills-rich curriculum help students build friendships, resilience, and respect—long after the last class ends.
Summer Camp
June - August
When school’s out, discovery is in. Our 11-hour Summer Camp (6:30 a.m.–5:30 p.m.) packs each week with themed field trips, swimming, career-exploration, hands-on service projects, and a culturally responsive curriculum that keeps kids thinking big all summer long. Fresh-cooked meals and dedicated special-needs staff ensure every camper can join the adventure.
After School at
Bloomington Jr. High School
August - May
After the bell rings, our BJHS site runs 2:45 – 5:30 p.m., offering homework help, STEM & arts clubs, leadership workshops, and plenty of movement. Licensed YWCA mentors give tweens a safe, independent space to grow while families know their young teens are supported and supervised.
