Chris Bennett, is the Co-Founder and CEO of Wonderschool, since January 2016. Mr. Bennett’s appreciation for education goes back to his parents, Honduran immigrants who did whatever they could to ensure that he had access to an excellent education—from sending him to a quality preschool to supporting him through his graduation from the University of Pennsylvania. He was committed to making sure other children had the same opportunities to reach their full potential. He saw too many parents who were anxious and scared about finding child care, as well as educators who couldn’t afford care for their own children while they were at work. He knew that there had to be a better way to address this issue for families and teachers alike. The Wonderschool team has designed the mission-driven company as a way to dramatically increase access to high-quality early childhood care for all families.
