Founder & Owner, Amira Faress

Wünderville was born from a desire to pursue purpose and to make a difference. The journey was triggered from a personal need for childcare for my son Peter, combined with a deep desire to someday give back on a nursery school experience that was so filled with wonder and joy that I still have fond and vibrant memories of it today. The setting was an international school in Accra, Ghana. My teachers were Ms. Mary and Mrs. Anoff.

Wünder is the German word for miracle or wonder. I chose a German word specifically in honor of Mrs. Anoff who is German. The addition of “ville” symbolizes our commitment to creating a vibrant and accepting space within the local Rochester NY community. Here we envision meaningful connections forming and minds conspiring to offer innovative solutions to real life issues within our community.
