Dedicated Educators Committed to Your Child’s Growth

At Woodside West School, we are dedicated to nurturing the whole child. Our programs are designed to inspire a natural love of learning, support the development of positive social skills, and build a healthy self-image—all within a safe, caring, and engaging environment. We believe that early childhood is a precious time, and we strive to create meaningful experiences that children will carry with them for a lifetime.

A Bit of History



Woodside West School was founded on June 14, 1974, by Patricia Dumbadse with a vision to provide children with developmentally appropriate early childhood education alongside quality child care—all in one nurturing environment. As a privately owned and operated school, we have proudly served families in the Santa Rosa community for over 50 years, supporting children through their many stages of growth and learning. Our program continues in the same tradition and vision by Diana Dumbadse who is the owner and director.
