Our Background
“The name ‘WunderKid’ came as an epiphany after reviewing a google search of words related to kids. The word “wunderkind” was on the list. Upon reading that it meant a child prodigy or a person who achieves great success when relatively young, this sang to my soul! With a slight twist in the spelling and incorporating my love for superheroes (including UnderDog), I turned it into ‘WunderKid Academy’!”
— Margaret MacDonald, Our Founder, on How WunderKid Academy Got Its Name
WunderKid Academy is a small, private, and faith-based childcare and preschool center located inside a church in Sanford, Florida. Our founder, Margaret MacDonald, was a Sunday School teacher who enjoyed caring for children. WunderKid Academy was established following the request of the church’s pastor for Margaret to open a childcare center since the previous childcare provider had moved out. Thrilled by this opportunity, she started with a blank slate and moved forward to create WunderKid Academy—a high-quality, educational, loving, and fun school for children.
