Welcome to The Wizard's Wardrobe
We're glad you're here...get to know us!
- At The Wizard’s Wardrobe children share time with a special tutor just for them — to read, write, and explore the wonderful world of books.
- We explore the world through reading books, play word games to learn to read and build our vocabulary, write stories, solve STEM challenges, and much more.
- We become strong readers, successful at school and life-long learners!

INAUGURAL ANNUAL EVENT WAS MAGICAL!
Perhaps it can best be summed up in the words of Gregory Maguire, “Had a terrific night last night. The vibe in the room was very warm and nourishing! Thank you for your warm welcome to The Wizard’s Wardrobe and for giving me a chance to meet so many fine writers on stage—a few of whom I had met before, but not heard them read their work. It was a very rewarding evening.”
Thanks to your support we raised over $12,000 to support the one-on-one, after-school literacy program at The Wizard’s Wardrobe. A special thank you is sent to honorary committee members, sponsors, donors, volunteers and theatre goers who made this success possible.
On behalf of all of us at The Wizard’s Wardrobe, thank you for being part of our inaugural Annual event — we look forward to seeing you next year!
