Meet the Founder

Valerie Wolfe, M.Ed.
Founder & Executive Director

Valerie Wolfe is the founder of Wolfe & Cub Learning Center and brings over 16 years of experience in education to her work with children and families. Her career includes four years teaching high school English and twelve years in special education spanning elementary through high school settings. She holds a master’s degree in special education, which has deeply shaped her understanding of diverse learning needs and her commitment to individualized, evidence-based instruction.

Advocacy is at the heart of Valerie’s work. She believes every child deserves to feel seen, supported, and valued and that every family deserves a trusted partner. She works closely with parents to navigate educational challenges, celebrate meaningful growth, and ensure that each child’s unique needs are understood and honored.

Wolfe & Cub Learning Center was created with a vision that extends beyond traditional tutoring or therapy. Valerie designed it to be a warm, inclusive environment where children feel emotionally safe, supported, and empowered to grow at their own pace. At Wolfe & Cub, learning is personalized, strengths are celebrated, and every step of progress matters. Her mission is simple: to create a loving, supportive community where children and families feel confident and welcomed, an extension of the Wolfepack she is proud to lead.

Outside of Wolfe & Cub, Valerie loves time spent with her husband and their two beloved dogs, Baxter and Cooper, who rarely miss out an adventure! Traveling is one of their greatest joys, whether exploring the beauty of Michigan or discovering new places around the world together. She loves reading mystery novels and solving mystery boxes for fun, a good Peloton workout, being in nature, and values quality time with family and friends, crafting, camping, and making memories together.
