Little Wonders is a wonderful learning center located right here in Missouri City. This is where talent, imagination and professional skills are being dedicated to the teaching of our young children. We understand that children learn differently. Through observation and listening, we encourage each individual's unique learning styles; while focusing on their physical, educational and emotional needs. All of our teachers are professionally qualified with combined expertise in education, speech & hearing therapy, bilingual education and English as a Second Language. With a low student-teacher ratio, we provide your child with the attention they need. Little Wonders Learning Center is located at the corner of Lexington Blvd. and Dulles Ave. In this center, you will find a number of warm, loving teachers committed to putting children first. This isn't your ordinary day care facility.

Summer School Multimedia Storytelling


We are now enrolling for our Little Wonders Summer Camp!!
We have written a brief description below of the many activities that our students will be working on over the summer..
Multimedia Storytelling:
Children will be able to write a story based on any creative subject matter they choose. They will be able to choose the medium that they would like to use to tell the story. Examples include a version of claymation, dramatic interpretation, traditional illustration with the use of watercolor or acrylic paint, photography, etc. Once the children choose their desired medium they will be educated on the history and techniques of that material by Marjon F. Aucoin. She is a traditionally trained fine artist, medical illustrator, and nationally recognized for her recent series of art in the annual showcase Spectrum. At the end of the summer we will have an art show/ performance to present their stories to the audience.


Aside from the creation of their stories the children will be able to participate in a variety of activities such as cooking, photography, learning Photoshop, directing the summer school blog, arranging field trips, and much more.

Please contact us with any questions that you might have!!

A House For Three

The girls happened to find some time away from homework to work on "the house for three"!  They have been working so hard on making this tiny house, with tiny little people living in it........Each piece of paper is carefully cut out and colored.  She is using tape to secure it all......

There is even a bunk bed for the twins ;0)
These people may look big in these pictures, but they are smaller than the fingers that made them!
Every day a little more is done to the house.  We are anxious to see what else will come of it!  We are learning patience though, since we only see the girls after school ;0)

The Big Castle That We Can Fit In

So we are sure you remember the dragons we created out of clay.......well, they needed a castle.  Originally, we wanted to build a castle out of wood, but Dimi convinced his mom to bring "big boxes" for the castle. It had to be a castle that we could fit in!  And, YES, it is BIG!  We have had to construct our castle in the main hallway because our rooms are too small for it!
The good thing is, because it is in the hallway, all of the children get to appreciate and visit it!
We can't wait to get suited up and get into character........but we are reminded that we need to take one step at a time.  Finish one step, move to the other.  Costumes are next on our list!
Annika is working hard at constructing the roof!
Dimi is building the walls.......
We are working so well together, and the younger children are in LOVE with our castle, that it looks like we will be "hired" to construct pieces for the other classrooms!

Contagious Creativity

It is funny how each class gets a peek of other class's projects and gets inspired to make their own project ;0)
The after schoolers saw the preschools castle and right away said, "We want to make a castle!"  Their castle is on a smaller scale, and they wanted to use clay to make dragons for it!

Take a peek at the first stages of their work!
Here we even have nest for the baby dragon twins!
