Mandala Children'S House

We had an amazing experience with Mandala Children's House and couldn’t be happier with our choice. The teachers are incredibly kind, patient, and genuinely care about each child. They made a real effort to keep me regularly updated on my child’s progress, daily activities, and milestones, which gave me so much reassurance as a parent. The Montessori approach here is very hands-on and practical, and I could clearly see how it helped my child develop independence, problem-solving skills, and confidence. The classroom environment is calm, structured, and nurturing, allowing children to learn at their own pace while still being gently guided. What stood out most was how well the school prepared my child for kindergarten. Academically and emotionally, my child felt ready for the transition, and the teachers also did a wonderful job helping them learn how to adapt to change and new routines. We are truly grateful for the dedication and support from the entire team and would highly recommend this school to any parent looking for a positive and enriching early learning environment.

I wanted to love this school but during my son's transition from Early Pre-School to the next stage of regular pre-school, the issues started arising. I experienced no process or support from the school or the director or the board of educators. One senior level teacher in my son's class stated to my husband during a pick up exchange that my son had an impulse control issue and he should seek out help from his pediatrician. This left us in shock in how insensitive this recommendation was thrusted on us in a quick exchange. No background or clarity. We confronted the director and teaching staff and we're told we were not a fit for the school and they have the right to refuse anyone from their school. This done at a time during the holidays and at adding strain to an already stacked mental load for any parent. They did not go through any process to evaluate this suggestive reccomendation or provide any documented evidence as to what they even were trying to evaluate. Because, I was questioning and asking for evidence and wanting to have concrete examples they deemed contributed to this behavior evaluation, it was deemed an unfit relationship with the school. I would not recommend this school to anyone who wants process and structure in evaluation of behavioral issues. You will not get it here. They back their teachers only and disregard the mental health their suggestive reccomendations can have on the parents.

Mandala is hands down the absolutely BEST preschool in the Bay Area. The facilities are very clean and organized, the playground is big and fun, the curriculum is very well-rounded, and most importantly, the teachers are extremely caring, experienced and take a holistic approach to childcare and education. I'm a school Director myself, and am quite particular when it comes to education. I've happily enrolled both of my children at this school. Needless to say, I highly recommend Mandala's Children's House!

This is our first year attending Mandala and our little one loves it! We are very happy with the experience so far. The school's focus and way of teaching is very warm and nurturing. We were worried that our child would have a rough first couple weeks being at a new school but there were no tears at drop off and big smiles at pick up! There are a lot of activities and hands on approach when it comes to learning. A lot of reasons why we love Mandala so far- There is a school app which communicates important information to busy parents! They can also warm your child's lunch, which is really nice! The school is organized and keep track of each child's allergies, conditions, etc. They have notifications posted in areas so that teachers are all aware. We chose this school based on the reviews of others, as well as they come highly recommended from friends/daycare providers that provide extended care in the area. You will love Mandala just like the rest of us!

My daughter attends Mandala and she loves it. They were one of the few schools in the North San Jose area that advertises their rates. We went to 3 other schools and we had to schedule a tour to find this information. Back the Mandala, great teachers and staff. My daughter has learned how to be patient thanks to Mandala. Their facilities were clean and organized. They have one of the lowest Teacher to Student ratio of 1:8. Did I mention the staff are extremely helpful with the children and very patient with us parents. We will send out daughter to Mandala next year again.
