Wonder Studio is a full-time early learning program inspired by the Acton model, where young learners:
A calm, joyful environment where young children are seen, heard, and supported through play, exploration, and purpose-filled care.
At Wonder Studio, children ages 2.5 to 5 begin their learning journey in a warm, small-group setting where curiosity is encouraged and routines are gently guided.
We focus on emotional growth, independence, and wonder—laying the foundation for confident, capable learners.
Explore the world through curiosity-led projects
Monday–Friday, 8:00 AM to 3:30 PM
Develop independence and self-confidence
Our approach blends the freedom to explore with the structure to thrive. Children in Wonder Studio experience:
• Small group learning with personalized attention
• Hands-on, project-based activities
• Outdoor exploration and nature play
• A community that encourages curiosity and kindness
As Acton Midwest grows, we plan to introduce additional programs for older ages—building on the same learner-driven principles that make Wonder Studio so special.
