Meet Jasmine & Riley

High School Sweethearts, Lifelong Educators, & Your Neighbors

Our journey began in 2012 as sweethearts at Monarch High School. Born and raised right here in the 80027, we are deeply rooted in this community as neighbors, parents, and educators.

We are more than just childcare providers—we are a dedicated, husband-and-wife team on a mission to redefine modern early childhood education. After years of working in traditional, high-capacity preschools, Jasmine witnessed firsthand the challenges that come with large class sizes. Driven by a vision to provide something deeply intentional, we established Wonder Preschool in 2018 to offer an intimate, premium alternative to standard institutional care.

Our Qualifications & Foundation

  • Expert Leadership: Jasmine holds a Bachelor of Science in Human Development and Family Studies with a concentration in Early Childhood Education from Colorado State University.

  • Rooted in Experience: We officially married in 2019, surrounded by the very children and families we had cared for—many of whom remain our close friends today.

  • Parent-First Perspective: We are parents to three wonderful children. Becoming parents completely transformed how we view childcare, deepening our commitment to building high-trust, communicative, and collaborative relationships with our enrolled families.

The Vision: Why We Keep It Micro

Standard daycares often feel like a revolving door. We intentionally limit our cohort to a maximum of six children so that we can offer an extraordinary, personalized experience.

Because our footprint is small, we aren't restricted to four walls. We balance a play-based curriculum at home with frequent community adventures, turning local museums, libraries, and nature spots into our extended classroom. At Wonder Preschool, your child isn't just a number in a classroom—they are a vital part of an active, exploring, and thriving micro-community.
