We are beyond thrilled to introduce
✨Chelsea Price-Gallinat✨
as Little Wonders’ new Program Director!

A committee of board and staff members conducted a rigorous process over the course of several months reviewing resumes and interviewing candidates. Throughout the process, Chelsea consistently distinguished herself with her warm communications, deep understanding of, respect for, and experience with babies and toddlers, and her commitment to the community centered philosophy of Little Wonders.

Here’s what Chelsea loves about Little Wonders
"Little Wonders feels a little magical to me. I believe relationships are at the heart of learning, and from my first class experience here I could feel the warmth, trust, and genuine connection that make this community unique. Leadership, in my view, is an act of service, and I’m honored to support the incredible educators, families, and children who bring the magic of Little Wonders to life every day. The school’s commitment to parent education and the dedication of its long-tenured teaching team are what first drew me in, and I’m excited to help nurture and strengthen that culture for years to come."
