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.

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.
