Review: Wonderschool serves as a matchmaker between parents looking for daycare and/or early childhood education and the teachers who are willing to provide it. The site will help you set up a new program or simply support your existing program with monthly billing and scheduling services via the Wonderschool website and answering service. You don’t need prior experience to start, but the site wisely suggests that you get the necessary licenses and certifications to get going.
Wondering whether you are ready to set up your own school? Wonderschool’s 10-minute “just dreaming” quiz can help identify areas where you may need help. The site promises to coach you through it, set up social media accounts and a website. After visiting the site and asking a few questions online, the site immediately scheduled a phone interview with a mentor. We were suitably impressed.
Given that Wonderschool only gets paid when you do — and then takes just 10% of your revenue — we think this opportunity is great for anyone wanting to set up a day-care or early childhood education operation. Indeed.com estimates that the average Wonderschool teacher earns more than $67,000, well above the preschool teacher average.
