Wise Owl Academy opened in 1982, founded by Mrs. Dorothy Lehto in the building we are still in on Merrit Parkway. In 2014 Mrs. Aparna Biwalkar bought the school and has run it since.

One center, one 9,000 square foot building, one street. No regional manager, no head office. The people who own the school are the people who meet you at the door.

We take children from 2 months to 13 years, so families stay. The school-age child doing homework in the after-school room often started in the infant room.
