Our Story
Rooted in Love, Nurtured by Passion
Welcome to Rooted Wonder, where imagination knows no bounds and every moment is an opportunity for connection and growth.
Our Story
The story of Thenedra is one of passion, inspiration, and community. With over 15 years of nanny experience and a deep love for children, Thenedra was driven by her desire to create a space where families could thrive together. Her favorite child-centered spaces, coupled with her own experiences as a mother, fueled her vision for Rooted Wonder in Monterey County.
​​With her unique strengths and shared commitment to children's well-being, Thenedra is poised to create something truly special: a place where families can come together, children can explore, and the community can thrive. Rooted Wonder isn't just a business venture—it's a reflection of her love for children, creativity, and her new community.
Rooted Wonder isn't just a play cafe - it's a vibrant community hub, a sanctuary where families can thrive and grow together. Inspired by the strength, wisdom, and gentle nature of elephants, we've infused our space with the same spirit of resilience and nurturing care.
Our Vision
Our vision for Rooted Wonder is simple yet profound: to create a space where childhood is rooted in love, where creativity knows no bounds, and where families feel welcomed, supported, and celebrated.
From cozy cafe corners and inviting lounge spaces to interactive play areas and educational enrichment programs, every aspect of Rooted Wonder is designed with one goal in mind: to foster creativity, imagination, and social interaction among children and families.
At Rooted Wonder, we believe that every child deserves a space to spread their wings and soar, to explore, learn, and grow in a safe and nurturing environment. We are intentional with our inclusive approach and acknowledge the rich diversity that is in our community.
​
So, whether you're joining us for a playdate, a birthday celebration, or simply a cozy afternoon of family fun, we invite you to experience the wonder of Rooted Wonder for yourself. Together, let's create memories that will last a lifetime!
Welcome to the Rooted Wonder Community!
