Cornerstone Preschool was founded by Melisa Giuffrida a mother of two and a teacher at the former Meadow Oaks School in Calabasas. It was her vision to "build a school" for her own children after teaching for 10 years amongst children 2 to 5 years of age. In November of 2005, Cornerstone Preschool opened with only 4 students, one of being her son Dylan.
Over the course of thirteen years, Cornerstone Preschool has provided an exceptional preschool experience for countless families and students. Our School inspires a love for learning through a variety of modalities and encompasses many Early Childhood Philosophies. Knowing that each child is unique, learning for that child must be unique.

We are SO happy with Cornerstone. The curriculum is like no other preschool that I toured (and I toured about 15) and they are really developing those school readiness skills for your child to succeed in Elementary! My daughter is happy, safe, learning, and thriving so far! The teachers are passionate, kind, and warm! We would recommend the school to anyone looking for a really well rounded preschool experience!

It felt as if we were coming home. Having been a preschool
