History
Wonder & Wander is a family owned business in Batavia, IL at The Boardwalk Shops. Amanda was a teacher, with over 13 years of experience teaching various ages. She went back to school to gain more knowledge in the field of Early Childhood Education. As she was taking classes, Amanda kept learning more and more about the importance of play for children of all ages. Noticing that play is being taken away from children in school, Amanda wanted to bring play to the families of Batavia and the surrounding area. The Batavia Boardwalk Shops helped Amanda's dream become a reality when they chose Wonder & Wander to be a part of the ten businesses in the 2022 season. With the help of her husband, Anthony; her parents, Dan & Laura; and her son, Phineas; Amanda was able to bring Wonder & Wander to life. Currently, Wonder & Wander is a toy store focused on promoting the importance of play. Our store carries toys that promote open ended experiences, sensory play and screen free interactions.
