I received my Master's Degree in Early Childhood Montessori Education with a Primary Certificate in Montessori Education from St. Catherine University in 2008. After working for several years in Montessori schools in the area, I founded Mandala Montessori in 2010 with my mother Linda. I currently oversee the school-wide operations of the school.
Established in 2010, Mandala Montessori is full-day, year round school serving children 33 months to 6 year old. We strive to create an environment where children's full potential is fostered through the implementation of the Montessori method. We recognize that our teachers are our greatest assets!
On behalf of the Minnehaha Food Shelf, I thank you for your generous contribution to the Food Shelf.those of us who volunteer on Tuesdays see the positive steps to learning that go on in your school.

We appreciate the talents and caring you and all of the staff put into making the children's time with you productive and enjoyable.

We loved Mandala Montessori! Kaise, Jesse and Linda manage the business with love, kindness, expertise and joy. Our nine year old daughter still recognizes Kaise and Linda as her favorite teachers. We're grateful for the emotional and practical skills that were taught. Washing windows and doing dishes continue to be chores that she doesn't mind doing. Mandala Montessori prepared our daughter well for kindergarten. I highly recommend it.

Our son spent 2 1/2 years at Mandala, from the time he turned three until kindergarten. We can't express how happy we are with the education he received while attending this Montessori program. Our teachers were great, and our son was more than ready to start kindergarten hitting the ground running. He highly recommend Mandala!

Our oldest child attended Mandala for 2 academic years and almost three full summer programs. If it hadn't been for his wonderful teachers (both of whom have left) we would have pulled him much sooner.
Below is part of the letter written to the Mandala administration regarding our most recent issue. My only regret is the money we wasted on this organization.

We love Mandala! We took a chance on them the first year they opened, almost 5 years ago when our daughter did one year of preschool. She had a wonderful experience there and we were thrilled with her teachers and so thankful we took the chance. Now our son is in his second year there. They are kind, loving and nurturing to him and they keep him challenged. He's always coming home with new information and stories of interesting things he's learned. There is nothing bad I can say about our almost three years experience having children at Mandala. We are so thankful to have such a wonderful place

We are in love with Mandala! The teachers are great and is family owned. The communication between teacher and parent is just enough. They also have an internal website where they keep the parents up to date on everything that is going on. There are two classes with flexibility in schedules, full and half day. There are other elements offered at Mandala that stands out such as chinese lessons and cool field trips. My daughter really enjoys the work she does and the friendships she has built. We have seen her grow in ways we did not expect. She has shown that she is learning what you would expect
