Community programs: in 2022, Wonderbound implemented a partnership to provide access to dance for children enrolled in sewall child development center, an inclusive preschool, at wellpower. Founded in 1989, wellpower provides the largest volume of behavioral healthcare services in Colorado. Sewall child development center was established in partnership with denver public schools and wellpower and provides early education and therapeutic support for children ages 2.5-5; many of whom are neurotypical and neurodiverse (having mental health or physical disabilities). Geographically, Wonderbound and wellpower are located very close to one another at just .8 miles away, and this proximity facilitates opportunities to provide arts access. Wonderbound's initiative with seawall child development center and wellpower, titled wonderwell, includes dance programming that is provided weekly onsite at wellpower's dahlia campus location by Wonderbound's registered dance movement therapist. The program uses psychotherapy and dance movement therapy to develop resiliency, confidence, equity, and generosity.
