THIS IS PRESCHOOL, REIMAGINED and it’s happening every day in Walnut Creek.

Our approach is inspired by the Reggio Emilia philosophy, which views children as capable, curious, and active participants in their learning. We foster development through exploration, creativity, and meaningful connections, encouraging children to ask questions, investigate, and express themselves in many ways at KLA Schools of Walnut Creek.

We also value strong family partnerships and offer two formal parent-teacher conferences each year to share insights, celebrate progress, and support each child’s individual growth.

At KLA Schools of Walnut Creek, our low student-to-teacher ratios go beyond state requirements—allowing us to provide:

• Individualized attention that supports deeper learning during critical early years.
• A responsive environment where children feel seen, heard, and respected.
• Smaller class sizes enable the tailoring of learning experiences to each child’s unique interests.

This personalized approach helps every child grow with confidence, curiosity, and care.

Each day at KLA Schools of Walnut Creek is an invitation to explore, discover, and grow. Guided by the Reggio Emilia philosophy, our daily routine strikes a balance between structure and flexibility, enabling children to explore their interests and learn in ways that are meaningful to them.

Children engage in rich, hands-on experiences like sensory play, creative arts, music, movement, and collaborative projects. These are not just activities; they are purposeful opportunities that support academic growth, critical thinking, independence, and social-emotional development. Our educators serve as guides and co-learners, creating a nurturing environment where children feel empowered, confident, and enthusiastic about learning each day.

Children at KLA Schools enjoy a minimum of 30 minutes of outdoor free play each day. Beyond that, our educators often bring learning outdoors to support activities like shadow exploration, gardening, and nature-based investigations, making the outdoor environment an extension of the classroom.

At our preschool, we see parents as essential partners in their child’s learning journey. Through classroom updates, parent events, and our active PAK group, families remain closely connected to their children's daily experiences and milestones.

We welcome open communication and value each family’s insights, creating strong home-school partnerships that help every child feel supported, understood, and empowered to thrive.
