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!

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)
