Our Teachers

Hello! I am Khanh Than, the founder of Little Ducklings Preschool Wonderschool. I was inspired to start my own program because I saw a need for high-quality care in my community. I completed my AA in Child Development and hold a Master Teacher Child Development Permit by the State of California. I have 5 years of experience working with young children in different settings - as a Montessori teacher and a former Director of a Bright Beginnings Preschool Center. I am also an academy instructor for Challenger. I’m originally from Vietnam, and in my free time I love traveling to new and exciting places!

Kelly and Vu go above and beyond to ensure our child is learning, thriving and having fun. Since hes been attending he has changed tremendously for the better. He is learning so much and they're making a connection with him. I can't say how happy and thrilled we are with the care and service they're providing.

I am very impressed with Little Ducklings Preschool. Based on my observations and interactions with Kelly and Vu, I can feel their love and passion about teaching and for the kids. I appreciate their daily updates regarding my daughter and the progress she had made since her first day. They have a structured daily routine with different activities (both fun and educational at the same time), which I feel is imperative to a positive learning experience for the kids. There is a good balance between play, social interaction, gross and fine motor skills, academics, and sleep/rest for the kids. My favorite is incorporating meal prepping and food handling into their learning since food is such an integral part of their lives. Moreover, their communication system is very advanced and comprehensive. Little Ducklings have exceeded my expectations! I plan to continue enrolling my daughter in their school and would highly recommend other parents to do the same!

Philosophy

At Little Ducklings Preschool Wonderschool, we believe that children grow, learn, and thrive by feeling safe, loved, and nurtured. It is our goal to provide an environment that engages children with developmentally-appropriate activities and materials.

Location

Little Ducklings Preschool Wonderschool is located in a bright, welcoming single family home in the Meadowfaire neighborhood.

Children will have some outdoor time everyday in my private yard or outdoor space. Children need space to run, jump, and move!

At Little Ducklings Preschool Wonderschool, I want to provide an environment that supports the cognitive, social, and emotional growth of each child.

About our program

With a STEAM based approach we incorporate group activities, as well as individual ones, to encompass all the developmental needs of the children enrolled. These include:

  • Circle and Story Time (to develop language and social skills)
  • Free Play (to encourage creativity)
  • Science and Nature (to strengthen children’s connection to nature and their understanding of the world around them)
  • Music and Movement (to develop motor skills and creativity)
  • Emergent Literacy activities (to prepare children to master writing and reading)
  • Montessori inspired Enrichment classes such as Cooking and Food Prep (to develop self help skills, and encourage healthy nutrition)
