Julie Wideman, Owner & Greenwood Director

Meet our owner, Mrs. Julie Wideman.  I have a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration from Lander University, with a Master of Business Administration from the University of South Carolina.  I spent many years in Supply Chain management positions, and today I serve as the director of our Greenwood location.

I am married to an amazing and supportive husband, Tim Wideman. We have four children, two girls and two boys, ages 9 to 37, and now one grandson. We have two dogs, Jack, a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Roman, a Goldendoodle, and three cats, Salem, Hygge, and Eeyore. We also recently adopted a bunny named Murphy. To say our house is a zoo, is an understatement! Our family has had the privilege of attending several wonderful daycares, preschools in Greenwood, SC. As a mom, there was just always something more that I needed. I needed a preschool where my children could be cared for all day while I worked, not just during the morning. I needed a preschool that felt like home, where my children felt comfortable and loved, and our family felt welcomed. I needed a preschool where my children would be encouraged to learn at their highest potential in an environment that fostered new friendships.  

The year of 2020, filled with all of its many changes, led me in a new direction. I was determined to open a new preschool facility in Greenwood, to serve all the amazing families and preschool age children in and around our area.

Working with children has always been a passion of mine.  I grew up playing school at home and babysitting some pretty awesome kids.  My mother taught 1st grade for 20+ years, and I spent a good bit of time in her classroom over the years.  As an adult, I have volunteered many hours serving children and families in our community through various ways, such as church, Girl Scout troop leader, and Vice President and President of school PTO.  I love children!

Wunderkind Preschool Academy is a dream come true for me. I am passionately committed to providing a safe, healthy, and educational environment and the very best preschool experience for children.  It will be an ever-evolving program tailored to best serve the needs of our children and families.  Thank you for sharing your children with our Wunderkind family! 

Meet our Ninety Six Director, Ms. Hanna Moore. Hanna started working at Wunderkind Preschool Academy in 2024, and has since served in various roles of increasing responsibility. She is hardworking and dedicated to creating a welcoming and supportive environment, where children feel safe, families feel confident, and teachers feel valued. She believes in building strong relationships with families, encouraging curiosity, and helping every child develop the confidence and skills they need to thrive. 

Hanna is excited to lead our Ninety Six team and continue the Wunderkind tradition of making early learning a meaningful and joyful experience. Her leadership, dedication, and love for children reflect our commitment to providing quality care and education for every family we serve.

Hanna lives in Greenwood with her daughter, and enjoys spending time with her, as well as family and friends.
