Our School

Magnolia Children’s School

(formerly Woolsey Children’s school)

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

We are located in Berkeley, California, near Parker and Sacramento Streets. We are a multi-aged, child directed, play based and fully licensed preschool.

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.
