Jodi Raphael
Director
My name is Jodi Raphael, and I am honored to serve as the Director of WonderWise Copper Basin! With over 20 years of experience working with children, I have developed a deep passion for early childhood education and a strong commitment to nurturing each child’s growth, development, and success. I am a proud wife and mom to three daughters and one wonderful bonus daughter. My love for working with children began at a young age and has grown into a lifelong passion. One of the most rewarding parts of my role is building meaningful, lasting relationships with families and creating a warm, welcoming environment where every child feels loved, supported, and encouraged to thrive. Outside of WonderWise, I enjoy reading, boating, thrifting, and making memories with my family. I believe in embracing each day with gratitude, finding joy in the little things, and making the most of every opportunity life brings.I feel truly blessed to be part of the WonderWise community and look forward to building relationships with each of our wonderful families!
