Meet the Bestie Wonderland Team

Best Friends, Homeschooling Moms, Educators... and much more!  

 

Mandy Maxon, Co-Founder & Educator

Mandy’s journey in education began with the creativity and love for academics shown by her parents, both educators, who encouraged her and her siblings to develop their interests and talents. That early foundation sparked a lifelong passion for joyful learning and creative expression.

 

For over two decades, Mandy has performed professionally as a pianist and singer across Texas, and for over a decade she taught first and third grade as well as K–5 music in public schools. In addition, she has homeschooled her three children for more than four years, an experience she considers one of her greatest teaching honors.

 

Today, Mandy blends her love for music, performance, and education to co-create Bestie Wonderland™, where original songs, kid-relatable puppets, and lessons from real teachers and moms help kids develop creativity, empathy, curiosity, and real-world thinking skills.

Carlotta Binns, Co-Founder & Educator

Carlotta’s passion for education began early, shaped by a love for creativity, music, and a desire to help every child feel seen, heard, and valued. For over 12 years, she has dedicated her career to special education, teaching students who are blind, DeafBlind, have low vision, or are Deaf. She holds dual certifications in Elementary Education and Special Education and specializes in creating inclusive and accessible learning experiences for all children.

 

As a vocalist, educator, and entrepreneur, Carlotta combines her performance background with her deep understanding of children’s diverse needs to co-create Bestie Wonderland™. Through original music, kid-relatable puppets, and lessons designed by real teachers and moms, she helps kids develop creativity, empathy, curiosity, and essential life skills in a joyful, imaginative way.

Besties

 

Best friends for over 20 years, Mandy and Carlotta have always shared a love for music, creativity, and helping kids learn in joyful, meaningful ways.

 

Together, they bring decades of combined experience as professional performers, educators, and mothers to Bestie Wonderland™. Their vision is simple but powerful: to transform screen time into free, original, and engaging shows where music, kid-relatable puppets, and lessons designed by real teachers and moms help kids develop creativity, empathy, curiosity, and real-world thinking skills.

 

From local libraries and schools to online episodes reaching families everywhere, Mandy and Carlotta are on a mission to make learning fun, accessible, and unforgettable for kids of all ages.

 

Their BookPeople performance in September was a huge success—with over 90 children and families singing, dancing, and learning together about Mr. Letter B, rhyming, and being “super friends” who share and communicate.

 

The fun continues with more free educational events for children:

  • Nov. 3 at 6:30 PM – FREE! Small & Mighty Superhero Storytime at Round Rock Public Library! Kids ages 0–5 (siblings welcome!) can wear superhero PJs or accessories for a night of stories, songs, bubbles, and bedtime fun.

 

 

Coming Soon: Bestie Wonderland™ Kickstarter Launch

We’re launching our Kickstarter this fall to bring Bestie Wonderland™ to life online! Your support will help us create free, educational, and fun YouTube episodes featuring:

 

  • Original music and songs performed by real musicians

  • Kid-relatable puppets kids instantly connect with

  • Lessons from real teachers and moms covering academics, creativity, and social-emotional learning

 

 

Our dream is to launch the channel in 2026, bringing families everywhere free, high-quality programming that inspires kids to think, create, and grow!
