A new preschool plans to open in Oakdale on June 3.

The preschool takes students from 6 weeks through 6 years old, said Sadie Mensinger, director of learning and performance.

There are three other Little Minds Preschools, all in Wisconsin, and the Hudson location has a long waiting list, prompting the opening of the Oakdale school, Mensinger said.

The preschool will likely accept about 100 children and hire 14 full-time teachers, along with a director and other workers, Mensinger said. The preschool's nutrition specialist, who trained at Le Cordon Bleu, has been hired already, she said.

There will also be a Spanish teacher and sign language instructor brought in to teach, Mensinger said. Yoga will be taught at Little Minds, which offers a specific curriculum for each age.

Two playgrounds will be built on site, Mensinger said, and there will be a “motor room” inside for additional activities or to be used in case of inclement weather.

Enrollment is now open; call 715-781-2044.

Little Minds was founded in 2008 in Hudson. For more information, visit its website.
