Spanish, Yoga, & More To Round Out The Curriculum

Teachers have a commitment to giving your child a well-rounded and exciting education, full of fun learning opportunities. They practice Spanish and do Yoga daily, garden weekly, and partake in dance and various art projects, all with no additional fees.

Creative Curriculum™ is Engages Minds & Sparks Imaginations

No “cookie-cutter” curriculum here! A sense of wonder guides our everyday activities. If the circus is in town, children participate in a circus-themed play. Imagine igloos made of milk jugs or a police office recreated in the classroom!

Hear What Parents Have To Say...

"She happily runs straight into school and immediately starts playing..."

My daughter has been in several daycares with little success. Ever since she started at Small Wonders she is a totally different kid. She happily runs straight into school and immediately starts playing once inside her classroom. She has a speech delay, and she went from speaking a handful of words to now speaking in sentences/singing entire songs/naming all letters, colors, and shapes in her short time here so far. I recommend this daycare to any of my parent friends who ask.

- MaKayla Shea

"I always felt they were safe and in the best hands..."

My boys attended the Salem location while in preschool and the Administrator was the best!! Danielle and the staff cared for them as their own and I always felt they were safe and in the best hands. They now attend the Columbiana location to get on and off the bus etc and Mr. Jayson does the exact same for my boys!! Couldn't thank them enough. We have felt part of a big family ❤️

- Stephanie Humphrey

"It's definitely a place where kids can have fun while learning..."

Small Wonders is an absolutely amazing daycare and preschool! I love it because it provides a safe and loving environment for the little ones. The staff are super friendly and caring, making sure that each child feels comfortable and happy. It's definitely a place where kids can have fun while learning and growing. If you're looking for a daycare, Small Wonders might be the perfect choice for you!

- Alexis Peterson

"They have an amazing set up, great food options, and more!!"

I love Small Wonders because they genuinely care for the children in their care. They have an amazing set up, great food options, and more. The current administrator is very excellent at her job. She knows the kids and the parents and her staff very well and will do everything in her power to make sure everyone is happy, healthy, and comfortable in their environment.

- Aliyah Baer

"The teachers always keep you updated throughout the day..."

Small wonders is the best! The teachers always keep you updated throughout the day on what is going on in the classrooms and we receive pictures in the app. The teachers take the time to hold conferences so we are all on the same page. It is a bonus that the high school aged students, who attend the career center for early childhood, are able to work in the classrooms and lend an extra hand. We would highly recommend Small Wonders.

- Jessica Davis

"The preschool teacher is so patient and attentive to all the kids..."

I love having the privilege of sending my two children here! The preschool teacher is so patient and attentive to all the kids. She has always worked to help him find ways to handle them better and he is flourishing academically as well. All of the teachers work really hard to make sure the children are receiving the best care They go above and beyond. If you're looking, this is a truly wonderful center.

- Christina Piergiovanni

"She has learned so much and made so many friends through the daycare..."

My daughter has been attending Small Wonders in Columbiana for 4 years now! They are absolutely amazing. It makes me so happy that she gets excited to go there every day before and after school! She has learned so much and made so many friends through the daycare/preschool program! Thank you for caring for my child as if she is your own, Small Wonders!!

- Ashley Morgan

"The entire staff are phenomenal and message when they have questions..."

20/10 recommend! They have been nothing but great towards my kids and take the absolute best care for them! They showed me that they can be trusted with them. The entire staff are phenomenal and message when they have questions, post pictures about what the kids are doing, and let you know what they do and eat throughout the day! They are so kind and loving towards them that I am forever grateful!

- Chels Toot

"The staff/teachers love your little one like their own..."

HIGHLY RECOMMEND! My daughter has been going here for almost a year now. Just within a year of her experience here she has learned so much! They work with your child, teach your child and the staff/teachers love your little one like their own, they truly take your child under their wing. If there is any concerns, I can freely discuss them, and my questions get answered. I recommend this facility to everyone.

- Melissa Sposato

"The staff all work hard to do what’s best for the kids..."

We have a great team! The staff all work hard to do what’s best for the kids, and constantly are there for one another helping wherever we can to make sure the center is the best that it can be. We have an amazing admin! She is kind and caring, helps out whenever needed, and always listens to our concerns if we have them. She’s a great leader!

- Tessa Wells

"They treated us like family and even though my kids are school agers..."

This childcare center is fantastic! The director Ashley has awesome communication with parents. All the staff/teachers are wonderful as well. They treated us like family and even though my kids are school agers they still talk about the “summer” teachers and can’t wait to go back to visit. I would highly recommend sending your kids here!!!!

- Tiffany Cartwright

"We honestly can't say enough good about this daycare facility!!"

We couldn't ask for more! My daughter has been at Small Wonders Greenford since she was 6 weeks old. All of the staff go above and beyond to care and love on her. She has learned so much while there... both socially and cognitively. Any concerns we ever had (which were few) were promptly addressed by the owner and administrator. We honestly can't say enough good about this daycare facility.

- Cindy W

"We are so pleased with Small Wonders Discovery and Learning Center!!"

We are so pleased with Small Wonders Discovery and Learning Center. All of the teachers are so kind and truly care about the children they are instructing both academically and personally. Their flexible hours give us peace of mind that our children are safe, and well taken care of during our busy work day. I would highly recommend Small Wonders Discovery and Learning Center to anyone with children.

- Traci K

"Thank you all that have helped mold my precious gifts!!"

My two children have been enrolled at the Leetonia Branch for almost a month now and the adjustment of being in daycare for the very first time as been wonderful. Also my son has special needs and they have been very, very kind and helpful!!! Thank you all that have helped mold my precious gifts!!!

- Kimberly Newman

"I couldn't ask for better caregivers and teachers. He's beyond happy there..."

The entire Small Wonders Salem Crew is amazing. They've taken care of my boy since he was 6 weeks old and I couldn't ask for better caregivers and teachers. He's beyond happy there, which means the world to me! ❤️

- Shannon Brown

"The teachers and aids are all so nice, and actually care about our daughter..."

This daycare is the absolute best. They have an app where they send photos of your kid to you. Updates such as food they eat, diaper changes, bathroom breaks. You can also get into contact with Admins and teachers through the app which is very nice since I can't always call while at work. The teachers and aids are all so nice, and actually care about our daughter. I highly recommend you give this center a chance if you're looking for a daycare!

- Broc Webb

"Wonderful summer activities for the school age kids especially skating..."

We absolutely love the administration and staff at salem Small Wonders. They are absolutely amazing with our three young kiddos. Always fun activities for the kids to participate in. Let's not forget the wonderful summer activities for the school age kids especially skating days at the fun center. The teachers are so caring and patient with the kids. To top it off they have great meals and free diapers and wipes. Thank you ALL for the wonderful loving care you have provided for our family.

- Rachel Rummel

"I've been so impressed at the education, interaction, and care..."

My mind is at ease when my little one is here. I've been so impressed at the education, interaction, and care that my son receives at such a young age. The staff working there are unsung heros and genuine!
