My Small Wonders is the first childcare center in Edmond to offer the innovative WatchMeGrow Secure Webcam System.
“We are offering WatchMeGrow Internet viewing because this is something our families, especially military, really appreciate” he continued.
"WatchMeGrow allows authorized family members to securely view their child, share in their day and see all the great things going on at the school,” said John Lewison, a representative for WatchMeGrow.
“Military families are some of WatchMeGrow’s most appreciative users and we routinely receive positive feedback especially from families of deployed service members,” he continued.
WatchMeGrow access cost $20 a month per family and includes up to 8 subaccounts for Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles, etc. Families may signup by clicking on this link.

My Small Wonders is in the process of repurposing and realigning some of our classrooms so that we can offer spots to more families that need them (see openings in the right column).
You may notice changes within the next couple of weeks while we prepare for the transition. We are making every effort to keep students with their current teachers whenever possible but some may need to move up or back; we will, of course, take into account what is best for each child on a case by case basis.
Each affected family will be contacted by a member of center management and the necessary changes will be implemented on Oct 5th, 2009.
These changes are necessary to increase enrollment and keep MSW competitive in these trying economic times. Thank you for your help and understanding.
We have 1 openings in the Twos, 5 openings in the Threes, 5 openings in the Pre-K, and 12 openings in the School-Age "Before & After School" program; the rest of the school has a waiting list well into 2010!
We are offering $50 referral credits for a limited time to current clients who make successful referrals, so keep them coming (just let us know when you refer someone in case they don’t tell us)!
Send this link to anyone you think may be interesting in enrolling or being on our waiting list.
Thank you again to all our parents, families, students, and employees that continue to make MSW a success!
Both of our preschool classrooms now have class pets! Please help us welcome MJ (Apollos) and Mario Fluffy (Monarchs). So far the classes have loved their new additions.
Be sure to visit your class photo gallery for the latest pics!
Families that would like to prepay 6-months tuition are eligible to receive 5% off their tuition for the duration of the prepay. Prepaid tuition is due by 6/24 in order to receive the discount.
We offer this promotion every December and June. Participants have told us that a 5% discount on their tuition is better than letting the money sit in a savings account earning 1-2% when they have to pay tuition anyway.
This program is purely optional and just a way for us to help our clients save a little money. Email Bill Epperly for more details.
With the help of the McConnell family we are pleased to announce that the garden has been completed!
The raised garden will be fun and accessible to all the children from toddler to school age.
The rocks will soon be replaced by grass.
Donations of child size gardening tools and gloves would be appreciated.
Thank you again to the McConnell family for your time and donations that have helped make this project possible!
The School-Age Super Summer Program (SASSP) started on June 1st and has been a terrific success so far!
The kids have been to the Library, Parks, Museums, and Plays and that’s only the beginning!
Keep up with their adventures by viewing their online photo album.
