What Parents Say
Mandala Montessori receives nearly universal praise from parents for its warm, child-centered Montessori approach and supportive community. Parents consistently highlight strong teacher relationships, excellent communication, and visible child development. One negative review describes poor administrative communication and handling of a health concern.
We have had a truly wonderful experience at Mandala. The staff are warm, consistent, and go above and beyond to really know each child as an individual and support what they need to succeed. Communication with teachers and leadership has been outstanding: thoughtful, responsive, and transparent. This has made us feel very connected and supported as parents. What has stood out most is the sense of belonging they create. My child struggles with transitions, and I have never seen him love a school the way he loves Mandala. He feels genuinely welcomed, safe, and known there, which has meant the world to our family. The community events Mandala hosts create meaningful opportunities not just for the children to connect, but for parents to build relationships as well. It truly feels like a caring, intentional community rather than just a school. We are deeply grateful for the care, professionalism, and heart the Mandala team brings to their work and would highly recommend this school to any family looking for a warm, child-centered environment.
Our daughter attended Mandala for over two years, and we couldn't be more grateful for the experience she had. During that time, she transitioned between teachers, experienced Spanish immersion, and saw many classmates graduate and move on. Through all these changes, the Mandala team provided her with steady support, care, and encouragement. The staff truly care about each child, creating a safe, nurturing, and educational environment that fosters both academic and personal growth. Under the Montessori philosophy, our daughter blossomed—gaining confidence, independence, and a love of learning that we know will stay with her for years to come. We highly recommend Mandala to any family looking for a supportive and enriching early childhood education.
We had a lovely experience in the mandala community. Our child went there for 2 years, needing to change classrooms in the second year. The transition was challenging; drop offs become very emotional and difficult. But the owner, head of school, and teachers went above and beyond to help with this, making sure we communicated a plan to help support our family. Our child may not have excelled in all the Montessori classroom had to offer, but they did gain oodles of confidence in their last year there which did wonders for kindergarten.
We are so grateful for our child’s two years at Mandala Montessori. The Montessori curriculum helped build their independence, and the environment truly honors and supports each child as an individual. The teachers create a nurturing, respectful community where children are encouraged to grow at their own pace. Mandala is a very special place, and we feel fortunate to have been part of it.
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 to bring our child to every day.
