What an exhilarating time you are entering! Your child is moving towards another turbulent time of change.  The word "adolescence" literally means the process of developing from a child into an adult. Throughout the year, Daily Wonder will offer parent education and reflective tools to help support you as the parent of a pre-teen!  How wonderful to support your child from a place of trust and inner knowing that they are exactly where they should be. As your child reaches for more independence, they meet the world with a critical eye. This critical eye comes with a powerful emotional burst, and the logical aspect will still be developing over the next few years.


The curriculum offers your child scientific phenomenon to observe and to practice reporting objectively. The history curriculum moves away from myth and into recorded history, with many biographies of historical figures to discuss and debate. This will satisfy your child on many levels, and they will flourish through Daily Wonder!
