Knollwood is a small school, with maximum enrollment of 43 children and a remarkable student-teacher ratio!  Two teachers are assigned to the class of 13 two-year-olds. Two teachers are also assigned to the three- and four-year-old classes, 15 students in each! 

        Many of our teachers have been with Knollwood  Preschool for over 10 years.  It is especially significant most of our teachers have their earned BA or AA degrees in Early Childhood Education.  That is the thing that truly sets us apart from other primarily child care facilities.  Most of our teachers are mothers with an understanding of family values.

        Often student teachers from CSUN and local Community Colleges do their student teaching at Knollwood, nurturing  children  in  the  present  while  preparing  themselves  for  their future careers.

        We at Knollwood aim to help children blossom intellectually and emotionally while, at the same time, having purposeful fun along the way. When a child delights in learning, the door to a lifetime of discovery and adventure is opened.

        At Knollwood we   strive   to   meet   each child's social, emotional, intellectual and physical needs.  We believe that children are happiest and most secure when they have repeated opportunities to succeed each day. Much of what we do is designed to facilitate self-confidence and self-esteem.

        Parents should know that at Knollwood the classroom curriculum, activities and educational materials are tailored to the age and developmental stage of each child.  

        We welcome your questions, your visits and your participation in our program!
