Nonprofit Overview

Causes: Education

Mission: We strongly believe that the best way to introduce Russian culture to children is to stimulate and support the love for learning. It is by no accident our learning center is called "Vunder Kid" which stands for "a miracle child, a child seeing the world as a miracle". Our mission is to make Russian a language of learning about the world, a language of friendship, inspiration, creativity. We do our best to create the atmosphere of warm communication, friendly learning based on mutual respect of our differences. We want the Russian Language to become that very resource which will make our children's life fuller, more colorful and richer. Let Russian be a priceless gift to us all, and let us pass it down from generation to generation, in order to unite each family and our learning center "Vunder Kid".

We have been going to Vunderkid since they open their doors to public(from the beginning)My daughter enjoys going to Vunderkid and always asks to sign her up for all of the classes. She made friends and speak a very good Russian for a kid being born in USA. I would recommend to any Russian or non-Russian families to come and check it out.

This school is my kids' favorite so far! They can't wait to meet with their teachers and friends, they had so much great and unforgettable experience there. They've learned so much over the years we were in this after school program. Attention and personal approach are my top priorities. My kids best memories go hand by hand with Vunder Kid. You can't find such talented and dedicated teachers anywhere else. Constantly something new, very interesting, educational and creative. Thank you Vunder Kid!

My six year old daughter absolutely loves this school. Thanks to Vunder Kid, my child speaks, reads and writes Russian. Definitely worth mentioning how wonderful the art teachers are. Vunder Kid is the place where your children can realize their talents, learn and preserve Russian language, grow, have lots of fun, enjoy many family events the school staff host. And the most important thing - children get a sense of cultural community, learn to appreciate their heritage and develop life long friendships.

When I asked my 5 yo what she likes about Vunder Kid, the answer was:" it fun, it's interesting, my friends are there, and I like all my teachers." I can honestly say that my child looks forward to every class. In addition to greatextracurricular program, VK offers a great sense of community, which is also important to those striving to preserve their sense of ethnic identity. Highly recommend!!

We've been with this school for a while and we are still there and will be there. I didn't find anywhere else such variety of classes for the price which we are getting in Vunderkid. Beside it's not about me, it's about my children who love to be there and can't wait for their classes. Art, music, language development, education, games, shows - Vunderkid got it all. Thank you guys that you are doing it for our kids.

I’ve been working in VunderKid for 2 years. Every moment I spent here is nothing but a great pleasure! I feel like I am a part of this big funny family! I want to say, that teachers are super professional. They do everything with love and passion! Every student is under care and every talent is noticed! That’s why there is a specific learning program for everyone! If you choose Vunderkid, you see this school is not only about studying Russian language like sitting in a room, reading books, writing essays, etc... Students, both, kids and adults, studying Russian tradition and culture through interesting events during all semester. Because it’s important to know more about the homeland of parents. Highly recommend! Have fan and learn more about Russia!

В школе царит уютная атмосфера и проводятся различные интересные занятия и внешкольные мероприятия для всей семьи. С детьми занимается добрый, квалифицированный, инициативный и отзывчивый персонал. Спасибо Vunder Kid за ваш нелёгкий труд!!!

Hi everyone! We’ve been a while with this great school. For me happiness of my kids is a priority so my girls can’t wait to go to Vunderkid! The classes are unique and extraordinary. The artwork accomplished by my kids is astonishing and amazing. The show programs are a must see. You will be amazed by how kids can perform and what they are able to accomplish. But the most important is personal approach to every child and understanding every young personality. There is nothing else I can possibly wish for my children. Thank you very Vunderkid.

Love love love Vunderkid! Best Russian school in OC! The teachers are awesome - very professional and knowledgeable. They are highly involved in facilitating the kid's capacity to learn.

My oldest one is happy when he wakes up and realizes hoooray - it's school day today! And he doesn't want to leave the school after his classes! My youngest loves his music class.
When we come in the school it feels like a big Family! And we love this feeling!

Vunderkid has classes for parents too! My favorite is Art class!

Highly recommend Vunderkid if you want your kids to develop Russian language, find new friends and learn with joy!

The staff at Vunder Kid are absolutely amazing! Not only are they highly educated but also incredibly fun and outgoing, kids love them and are actually exited to come to class! I'm also impressed with the amount of work and creativity Vunder kid puts into all of their events and plays. Always fun and unique! They don't just get the kids involved in it but also some parents which helps grow stronger bonds between the kids and adults. Absolutely incredible team and organization.

Vunder Kid is the place for families who seek professional, personalized and fun environement for Russian language learning and more. Tatyana, Anna, and the rest of Vunder Kid's wonderful staff have done a terrific job designing and bringing to life a wide range of educational classes that aim at shaping your child not only into a fluent Russian speaker/reader/ writer, but also a creative thinker! Classes are organized according to specific interests, age, and developmental level. Thank you for giving our Russian community a unique opportunity to be immersed into the Russian language and culture here in the United States!

Great and very friendly atmosphere, very professional personalized approach to every child. My daughter took individual logopedist lessons from Tatiana Mikhaylova and made really great and noticeable progress in speaking and writing Russian. Vunder Kid organizes great events where all parents and kids can interact and also maintain a Slavik culture, i.e Maslennitza, 8th of March and other traditional Slavik celebrations. We've met really great people there!!! Thanks very much to the Vunder Kid management.
