Where Creativity Meets Curiosity.

Kidwonder was born from a simple yet exciting idea: How can we use Neighborhood Ballet’s beautiful new studios to make an even bigger impact on families? What if we could create an arts-based preschool—a place where movement, dance, music, creative play, and hands-on learning come together in a joyful and enriching preschool program?

At KidWonder, we believe that early childhood education should be filled with wonder, imagination, and exploration. Our program nurtures a love of learning through the arts, helping children develop confidence, creativity, and strong social-emotional skills.

Behind KidWonder is a team of passionate educators, parents, and community members who believe in the power of creative, play-based learning. With a shared commitment to early childhood development, we are here to inspire, support, and nurture your little one’s journey.

  • Founder

    Rebecca, a mother of three in Grant Park, understands first-hand the challenges of finding the right early childhood program. When she had her first child, securing childcare was her biggest hurdle—after spending six months on a daycare waitlist, she ultimately had to leave her full-time job. That experience led her to create Neighborhood Ballet, and now, she is thrilled to introduce Kidwonder Preschool as another way to serve and enrich our community’s youngest learners.

  • Lead Teacher

A graduate from the American Musical Dramatic Academy, Chelcy  has served as a teaching artist for many theatres and programs throughout the city, including Alliance Theatre, Aurora Theatre, Marcus Jewish Community Center, Destination Theatre, and Springer Theatre Academy.
