I have yet to meet or see a Director of a Montessori school who is as sincere and dedicated as Dr. Chen. She is truly a wonderful role model and a positive influence to all. Arborland Education Center is not only an early childhood education learning facility rather a youth and adult learning center as well. It provides classes in various different subjects to all ages. I am truly honored to be a part of this wonderful school! Come see for yourself!
