About Us

Family Owned and Operated

The Wiggle Room is owned and operated by a family of former Pasadena I.S.D. educators. Suzanne Hernandez, director and co-owner, was a 3rd grade teacher and school librarian before going into business with her mother, Carolyn Elender. Carolyn has an integral role in The Wiggle Room's pre-kinder program.  Her experience teaching 4th grade and then writing elementary math curriculum for Pasadena, has made her an invaluable asset.

Birth to 11 months

Lovebugs, Ladybugs & Snails

These classrooms teach our tiniest students ranging in age from 6 weeks to 11 months. The students spend time every day listening to books being read aloud and songs being sung. They are exposed to baby sign language daily and enjoy plenty of floor time to explore their surroundings and promote their gross motor development.  Our infant rooms have schedules that best accommodate the ever changing needs of their students.

2 years

Caterpillars & Butterflies

These classrooms teach our students who are 2 years of age.  In these classes, we expand our academic goals to include rote counting 1 to 15, mastery of basic shapes, letter identification and basic exposure to letter sounds, name identification and gross motor writing skills. We begin teaching social goals by encouraging empathy and compassion for others and by purposefully practicing sharing and taking turns.

Honeybees

This classroom teaches our students who are 3 years of age. In this class, we continue to build on their academic foundation. They master important skills such as rote counting to 25, letter identification, numeral identification to 15 and letter sounds. We focus on fine motor skills to promote proper writing form and master all upper case letters and the writing of their name.  Our teachers continue to promote social goals by directly teaching about self-control and providing a safe spot with options on how students can calm their bodies.
