Our Ethos

The Philosophy of Wonder Yonder

Digital devices are extremely useful, and fun. They are a part of daily life.

Devices are a necessary part of modern life,

but...

We do not call against them, but we certainly promote regulation. Through our combined experience and skillset, we want to ignite curiosity in young minds about the physical world. To encourage kids to embrace their surroundings with excitement, so that they can enjoy stillness and pause, and learn to welcome golden moments of boredom!

These are the steps towards creating confident and balanced individuals.

Our Mission

Our Vision

We seek to inspire community cohesion in young children. To creatively encourage them to take pause and reflect deeply, with curiosity and wonder, on the world and the people around them. So that they can grow to become well developed, confident and empathetic individuals and future leaders.

At ‘Wonder Yonder’ we are fiercely passionate about imparting wholesome knowledge to every child, through vibrant storytelling and immense fun. Every interaction should be akin to a stage performance, filled with comedy, drama, energy and intrigue. Every engagement is a precious opportunity to captivate young hearts, and steer them toward goodness.

Gadget addiction and the overstimulation of young minds has become, what can be argued, is an institutionally accepted norm.

'Brain rot,' although crude sounding, is a trending phrase which encapsulates our rational concerns as teachers and parents, of the dangers that gadget misuse can present.

With the added rise of A.i and its harms, including its encouragement toward inactiveness, there is a grand effort needed to keep children's attention on wholesome, uplifting activities and ideas, to nurture their mental health and wellbeing.

We can only offer a limited experience for children through our sessions, but we hope to leave a life-lasting impression.

A Moment of Perfect Pause

Through storytelling and roleplay, we invite children to take a willing moment of pause, to embrace boredom, and to then reflect on their feelings as a group.

"Take a moment to detach,

A deep breath, now relax.

Open your eyes and see,

You is sloth-like,

Just like me."

Session led by Slow-Mo Sloth. Coolest creature in the woods.

We offer children a fresh perspective toward the Qur’an and salah. One that promotes agency, and a genuine desire to delve deep into the book of Allah, in search of its treasures. And to put more care and affection into the prayer, taking a little longer each time, seeking that perfect sajdah (prostration).

Through storytelling and games, there are ways to invite children to willingly take pause. So that they may excel in their prayers, when it is time to pray. So that they are able to undertand and reflect on the Qur'an, when Allah is speaking directly to them.

Beyond Boredom

The screens go off, and then a moment of quiet.
The
'nothing-to-do' panic kicks in.

Then, 3, 2, 1...  Shock, horror!

"I'm bored!"  (Oh, the pain).

But what lies beyond boredom? What does the brain do with itself?

Dare we go see?

That is of course where the magic of imagination hides. Take a deep breath. A few sparks at first, then a burst of creativity, gushing out like a wonderful waterfall.

Become sloth-like for a moment. You'll love it!
