A+ Charter Schools and Inspired Vision Schools are committed to helping guide the successful leaders of tomorrow, and it all starts at a young age. This is why we are incorporating the Q Wunder Program into both of our elementary schools because we believe in investing in our students. Q Wunder teaches children social awareness; responsible decision-making; self-management; along with many more skills. We have seen great results in our students.

there are so many reasons why we love the Q Wonder program our principal counselors are teachers are students in such a huge difference in our students there for course that leads to higher I can do games with socially are kids emotionally are healthier previously when they had big emotions that they frustrate them or confuse them they have the tools they know what to do emotions threaten to overwhelm them they seem to wonder they've seen the model have seen it done and now they're ready to take on any challenge that may come their way I have two children I have a 9 year old daughter and a seven-year-old son and I have noticed quite a few changes since they started interacting with Q Wonder most importantly I do feel that they are more more aware of other's feelings and just more compassionate the very first night that they brought you wonder home it was the cutest thing because they just wanted to snuggle if they both slept with they make sure that he was in there when they leave for school they wanted to make sure he was safe and as soon as I got home they wanted to check on him I've asked him if they feel like they've learned anything from Q wonder and they both have said that it stopped going to be caring about others to just be more considerate of others feelings how their friends feel how they feel how their parents feel and it's just really a nice tool for them to have to just to have a constant reminder that others feelings do matter and so do their chores and Sissy is always constantly there with them you put it back on even selling the couch with us leaving 120 St Bernard different Morgan but it's just one more compassion see him taking care of Q and caring about you and making sure you put some accusers get dirty doesn't get messed up in the house and then we come home the first he doesn't run the door and grabs you and kind of snuggle with him at all and it's been just a difference where he's more compassionate and kind of thinking more about taking care of things and being more conscientious than good for for 3rd grader 3rd grade it sometimes all over the place and it's focused him are on some behaviors that we didn't feed him isn't that previously things that I've noticed most into our school is it the students don't control their emotions faster car Jumpoline when set 20 times the way they're thinking jump on the other foot for 20 times so by the time they're finished the blood has started flowing back to the top of the brain and their able to gain more control of their emotions and that's the thing that I think I really love cute sister program started I guess and maybe a couple months ago my kids only like 8 or 9 years olds that have very little experience outside of social media are going to do is on the phone or iPads on the computer they have very few interpersonal skills by using the q12 dog and use it to run the program their interpersonal skills have improved like me a thousand percent the kids who were afraid to express themselves are afraid to tell us how he felt about them that has gone away q1 program has built a bridge single kids didn't have social skills to improve their social skills I had one little boy my classroom we spoke about his father not being with it and I kind of feel bad for him and then I told him I hate people can love you from just like you might not see the queue on the monkey have $200 every day that dog represents love represents a patient that represents people who care about you so my program care and took care it's not how much you know how to program in a carrier program that I will continue to use we got the year as long as the Party by a plus charter school system is that not only is it helping our student but it's given my teachers tools and it's given parents tools so when kids are having trouble and they're really struggling with in the classroom teacher before what are sure how to help them tell the kids to come down now they got at work it right there they can help the kids and it's helped keep the kids in a classroom instead of being out in the office because they're struggling with in the classroom parents of him just coming out and saying that since we sent the Q home with them the kids are taking it everywhere with them they're our kids are talking to cube in the classroom when once they're going to struggling instead of the whole class being off task now the other kids are saying what would you do let me get you you probably need to answer the whole classroom Focus then on helping the student instead of just being distracted so it's really been just a grateful for everybody from kids to staff to the parents and that's what I really love about it
