Little Wonders...a time to inspire

Please describe the product or service your business offers:

Little Wonders is a parented early literacy, music and play program designed for children birth up to 4 years old. This program is written with a distinctive rhythm and energy that perfectly captures the attention of young children, promoting speech, social and emotional development. It is an early literacy program of songs, stories, props, books, rhymes and sensory-based stuffed animals, puppets, plush toys and dolls. Little Wonders is a program where parents can delight in watching their child grow in a literacy rich environment as they develop listening, speaking skills and a love for words, language and reading, injected with age appropriate fine and gross motor activities, such as arts and crafts, American Sign Language and creative movement.

What inspired you to become a Mom Entrepreneur?

Becoming a mother is what inspired me to become a mom entrepreneur. It is absolutely the most demanding experience you can have in life, but it is also the most exhilarating and profound. When my newborn first child, Diane was placed in my arms, I felt a depth of boundless love and protectiveness for her that I have never known before. I dreamed of all the wonderful things in the world I would introduce to her. It was witnessing her joy upon recognizing her first songs, learning to say her first words, and reading her first books that inspired me to create Little Wonders.

I was fortunate enough as a new mom to meet Miss Natalie at the very beginning of her amazing journey. From the moment I met her - I knew I would be seeing great things from her in the future. In the short time that followed - Natalie developed the Little Wonder's program, and was selling out her popular classes.

Natalie is blessed with a gift - one I have never seen before in my 20+ years in the early Childhood Education field or as a mom of two girls. Her infectious enthusiasm and general love for children and literacy is genuine and apparent in the faces of the people she touches.

I am excited to be a part of Natalie's next vision - to take Little Wonders to the next level with a childrens CD, song book and an expansion of her program to new and exciting heights.

Natalie's passion and dedication to her business and clients (both big and small) is unmatched. She deserves to win this award hands down, as the grand prize would only fuel her dreams to touch and enrich more little people lives.

All the best!! Lots of Love!!
Denise

Not only does Miss Natalie of Little Wonders inspire 'little people' but I believe it is safe to say that there is inspiration and impact throughout the community! Her vision of growing Little Wonders, right from taking it 'on the road' to creating a CD and song book, as well as working towards hiring others to teach her curriculum both nationally and internationally, will have such a positive impact for so many! Natalie, I wish you nothing less than never-ending success; you deserve it more than words can express!!
