Founding a school for young children has long been a dream of Mrs. Ashland’s. The Director of a Cooperative Preschool in Manhattan Beach, California in the late 70’s Mrs. Ashland has had a lifelong love for teaching young children. She chose the Bigham Knoll site for our school, and remodeled the building for this single purpose. As our Director, she is responsible for overall school policy and supervision. She earned her Bachelor of Arts in Design from UCLA, and earned a Childhood Education certificate in California.
