In 2021, the world of child care is transforming. The child care shortage is a nationwide issue across the country and California is no exception. Federal, state and local governments are actively funding new expansion efforts for brand new child care programs to start in their communities. 

Now is the time for you to realize your full potential as an educator, parent, or experienced nanny and open your own home-based child care program out of your house or apartment. You can make a difference in your local community and educate the next generation of students as early as infants, toddlers, and preschoolers. You are your own boss and you own your business, 100%. You set your hours, your holidays, your program pricing, and decide on the curriculum you want to teach. It is a revolutionary change of life for many educators that seek this independence. 

Wonderschool partners with educators, parents, and experienced nannies to coach them through starting their own child care business. From getting started, filing for a child care license to setting up your business model, pricing, marketing your program, and receiving your first enrollment, Wonderschool is there every step of the way.
