About Bestie Wonderland™
Bestie Wonderland™ is an Austin-based, educator-founded children’s edutainment company created by two certified educators and professional performers who believe learning should be joyful, active, and unforgettable.
With backgrounds in classroom teaching, special education, gifted learning, and live performance, we blend research-backed instructional strategies with original live music, storytelling, puppetry, and movement to create high-energy shows where children don’t just sit and watch — they sing, move, think, and participate.
​
Our mission is simple: help children Think deeply. Create imaginatively. Grow joyfully.
For parents, that means screen-time alternatives that spark imagination, build language skills, and encourage social-emotional growth — whether at a live show or through our YouTube channel reaching families everywhere.
For libraries, museums, zoos, aquariums, and schools, it means mission-aligned programming that reinforces literacy, STEM concepts, conservation themes, and community engagement through professionally designed, educator-led musical experiences.
From the stage to the screen, Bestie Wonderland transforms early learning into something children remember — and ask to experience again.
Who We Are
We’re Mandy (Ms. Bubbles) and Carlotta (Ms. Bright) — real-life best friends, certified Texas teachers, professional performers, and moms who believe deeply in children.
Carlotta brings expertise in special education, cognitive development, ASL, and inclusive teaching strategies.
Mandy brings over 20 years of professional music performance and more than a decade of classroom experience in elementary education.
Together, we combine education and performance to create something rare — programming that is both developmentally intentional and wildly fun.

Our Story
Bestie Wonderland started with something simple: we wanted to use our experience and talents to create the kind of edutainment we love for our own children.
We grew up on meaningful childhood favorites that sparked imagination and curiosity — and we wanted to carry that heart forward with a modern twist: original live music, interactive characters, and teaching strategies that truly engage young minds.
Everything we create is built around one mission:
Think. Create. Grow.
