Magnolia Children's School

A Play-Based Preschool Embracing Curiosity and Creativity

Magnolia Children's School in Berkeley, California, fosters a vibrant and nurturing environment where young minds can explore, learn, and grow. We proudly embrace a play-based curriculum that ignites imaginations and empowers young learners.

Our Philosophy

Our mission is to provide a physically and emotionally safe space where children can discover themselves, their peers, and the world around them. We are a multi-aged, child-directed preschool that values individuality, social-emotional learning, and respect.

Learning Through Play

Within our warm and welcoming environment, children embark on epic weekly adventures, fueled by their boundless imaginations. Our experienced teachers guide them through a variety of hands-on activities that foster vital skills in numerous areas, including:

• Social and emotional development: We nurture self-regulation, communication, and empathy through collaborative play and conflict resolution.
• Language and literacy: Daily experiences ignite a love for stories, language, and literacy through read-alouds, dramatic play, and art exploration.
• Mathematical development: Practical activities and nature exploration cultivate an understanding of numbers, shapes, and patterns.
• Creative exploration: Open-ended art projects, dramatic play, and music exploration fuel the imagination and encourage self-expression.

A Supportive Community

We believe in fostering a sense of community among our families. Regular family events, open communication, and parent education programs create a strong support network where children can thrive and families feel connected.

Our Team

Our passionate and experienced teachers are dedicated to providing individualized attention and nurturing each child's unique potential. We believe in open communication, continuous learning, and collaborative problem-solving.
