Our School

Magnolia Children’s School

(formerly Woolsey Children’s school)

Magnolia Children’s School is currently full for the 2024-2025 school year.

Enrollment for the 2025-2026 school year starts in February 2025.

We are located in Berkeley, California, near Parker and Sacramento Streets. We are a multi-aged, child directed, play based and fully licensed preschool. We are open 8:45 am to 5 pm, M-F.

Our warm family environment provides the best opportunity for your young children to play, grow, learn, and thrive throughout the day. We use a modern play-centered approach where independence is emphasized. The school’s rich curriculum and extensive activities give children a firm foundation for kindergarten and beyond.

We prepare children for the playground as well as the classroom, teaching them to perform conflict resolution independent of a teacher. Extensive research has shown that play-based learning is the best approach for the preschool years.
