This is my 10th year teaching, 6th year teaching in Saint Paul Public, and starting my 1st year at Nokomis South. I come from Cherokee Heights Elementary on the westside. I have my BA in Elementary Education from Metropolitan State University. I completed my Montessori certification in the Spring of 2020 from Midwest Montessori Teacher Training Center in Illinois. I am passionate about Montessori education in supporting children in their growth and development.

When I am not at school, I enjoy spending my time with my family. We love to read, bike, work on art projects, and travel in our RV.

Love, Ms. Padmini
