Playful Wonders was founded in 1986 by Mary O’Connell, a retired certified teacher with 26 years of experience.
Having raised seven of her own children and as a working mother, she realized the need for quality childcare in the area. She launched the after-school program in 1986 and extended the program to include daytime classes for pre-school aged children in 1992.
In 2014, Mary's daughter Hope O'Connell came on staff and in 2015 assumed responsibilities for both programs.
