Robin Thomas
Executive Director / Founder
Robin Thomas is the Executive Director/Founder of Wynnefield Prep Academy. Robin holds a Bachelor’s degree in Sociology from Temple University and a Master’s degree in Organizational Management and Leadership from Springfield College. She has worked in Human Resources in the nonprofit sector for many years.
Growing up in the Wynnefield section of West Philadelphia, Robin’s parents instilled in her the values of helping others, as well as the importance of education. She was always drawn to educating young children and could be found as a middle schooler educating her younger cousin on her chalkboard.
Robin held several positions in childcare centers and with Childcare Information Services (formerly known as CCIS-west) while in college and immediately following her graduation. She was drawn to educating young minds and quality education. This passion was further fueled when she became a mother of two children and spent countless hours researching and visiting schools. Like her parents impressed upon her, Robin encouraged her children and all children to work hard in the classroom and explore their own passions.
Robin dreamt of opening a loving and developmentally sound program as a foundation for a lifetime of learning. Together with a team of amazing teachers, she is committed to providing the children, their families and the community with an enriching learning environment.
