We are happy to announce that Edgemoor Children’s Center and Leland Children’s Center have been accepted into the Bright Horizon’s Back Up Care Advantage Program. This employer sponsored benefit is designed to provide high quality care on a drop in basis to families whose primary care services are not available. The National Institutes of Health have extended this benefit to their employees and Wonders has been asked by Bright Horizons to be a part of the network. Welcome NIH employees!

Gerald Bolden
Gerald Bolden (pictured left), our Summer Camp 2013 leader, is our Program Director at Chevy Chase Elementary. Gerald has been a part of the Wonders family since 1998, and after a brief hiatus in 2003, he returned to Wonders and has been leading the Chevy Chase Extended Day since 2005.
Gerald leads by example and knows what is fun for kids. Most afternoons you can find him playing a ballgame on the playground, discussing the latest children's movie, or debating the plot line of a superhero comic book. While Gerald clearly gets kids, he also values his connections to their parents and the broader school community.
In addition to this role as Program Director, Gerald has been a Summer Camp coordinator since 2008 and is very excited to be leading this year's camp at our new site, the Edmund Burke School in NW, DC starting June 17, 2013.
Gerald and some of our other veteran leaders; Ebony Ellis, our Program Director at Somerset, John Martinez, our Assistant Director at Horace Mann, and Tasha Keifer group leader from our JAS Center all got a jump on summer when they attended this year's Tri-State Camp Conference in New Jersey. Here they are before they hit the road!.
We have put together some helpful information about finding and evaluating a preschool. If there is anything else you want to know, let us know and we’ll find it for you.
