Cultivating Independent Thinkers
Bottega Wonderlab is dedicated to cultivating independent thinkers as a Home Education Service Provider.
About Bottega Wonderlab
Bottega Wonderlab is an idea stemming from Bottega Child Development Center families' needs. Our current families value our mission and vision, which shape our educational principles inspired by the Reggio Emilia approach.
Bottega Wonderlab is a unique extension of over twelve years of child-centered education evolving to support school age children from Kindergarten to fifth grade.

The Reggio Emilia Model
The Reggio Emilia model of education is a research-based approach combining inquiry approach to learning and the Florida Academic Standards with open-ended play creative exploration that unveils each individual child's capacity and learning styles, ranging from Kindergarten to fifth grade.
Our kindergarten program has been running since 2021 where our children have excelled. Our program will be opening a grade level each year until we reach fifth grade.
Why Homeschooling at Bottega Wonderlab?
The benefits of blending homeschooling at our on-campus facility is that we embed a homeschool program with the Reggio Emilia approach with personalized guidance in a socially stimulating environment, curated materials that lead the children to research and wonder.
Designed for Step Up P.E.P. Scholarship
As a Home Education Service Provider we welcome the P.E.P. Scholarship offered to Florida students who are not enrolled in public school or a Florida Home Education Program, and can access the Personalized Education Program (PEP) through the Florida Tax Credit Scholarship.
This scholarship provides, on average, $8,000 through a flexible, education savings account (ESA) to fund the educational needs of Florida's home schoolers.
