Hello. My name is Josephine Karen Howell and I am the co-owner of Little Wonder Learning Center. I am an active co-owner who is also the Program Specialsit that is in the center most of the time, along with our phenomenal team. After leaving the world of fashion as a assistant buyer for a retail company, I stumbled into child care as a substitutuite teacher. For the next couple of years, while I had tremendous love and passion for the work I was doing, I did not share that same love and passion for the manner in which child care facilities were being managed. It was then that my vision changed and I made the decision to invest the time and resources to further understand what was missing in child-care profession and pursue a greater purpose. Since making that decision, I have successfully had three childcare facilities, which allowed me to take things into my own hands and pursue the dream center I envisioned. I wanted to create centers where children and parents can feel a sense home away form home, where a child can attend and feel loved, nurtured, and grow independently, mentally, physically, emotionally, and cognitively. I am eager to get to know you all personally and professionally and have our relationship grow over the years. This isn’t a job for me, this isn’t a business for me, this is my passion in life. This center is “my child”. I value all of you and am here for you for whatever you may need.

"My name is Ms. Shelly and I have been a part of the LWLC family for the past three years and have truly become a member of the LWLC family. I have a natural gift for working with children of all age groups and my goal is always to bring warmth, energy, and adaptability into every child.

I feel incredibly fortunate that I get to be a part of these little munchkins' lives. I am also grateful that during my break from college, LWLC has put their trust in me to spend my time in a playful, childlike personality environment that I can connect effortlessly with the children—making them laugh, think, and sometimes scratch their little heads, all at the same time."

"My name is Ms. Michelle, and it is with great enthusiasm that I introduce myself as the Head Teacher of the Grasshopper Class at Little Wonder Learning Center. I bring a diverse background and a deep passion for nurturing young minds. Prior to joining LWLC, I spent five years working in early childhood education and preschool settings. I am deeply committed to child-centered learning that empowers and respects each child as an individual. I believe in the transformative power of education that encourages children to think outside the box while still feeling supported and challenged.

What I hope for your children as they grow and transition through life is that they continue to imagine, explore, and dream—to fly kites, jump in puddles, build towers, play freely, and discover what truly makes them happy. It is a privilege to be part of your child’s educational journey, and I look forward to building meaningful connections with both families and students. Together, we will embark on a year of growth, exploration, and discovery—where every child’s progress is celebrated and cherished"
