Welcome to Magical Mindset
A preschool that feels like childhood.
Magical Mindset is a small, family-run nature preschool located on two beautiful acres in Northwest Petaluma.
Our days are spent outdoors—running, climbing, gardening, creating, cooking, experimenting, making music and learning through play.
We believe young children thrive when they have plenty of time outside, loving teachers, a small community and the freedom to explore.

What Parents are saying
“Our son wasn't thriving in a traditional preschool environment. He needed the space to grow at his own pace. Within just a few months at Magical Mindset, he went from watching group activities as a bystander to being an active participant. We're forever grateful to Amber and Ryan for their open-hearted and nurturing approach.”

“My son is thriving! There is a perfect balance of free play and structured activities where the kids learn in a FUN way. Amber and Ryan are lovely and love the kids so much. My son is always happy at drop-off and pick-up. Cannot recommend this preschool enough!”
— Rim
“I wanted to find a place that wasn’t just a daycare, but a place where my son could learn teamwork, cooking, gardening and let his imagination run wild. This is that place! What really sets Magical Mindset apart is the time and effort Amber and Ryan pour into the students. The teachers don’t just watch the kids—they interact with them throughout the day. I couldn’t recommend Magical Mindset enough!”
