I don't have a enough good things to say about Ms. Arcelia...she's amazingly loving, nurturing and patient. My two year old daughter absolutely adores her, she is excited for school, because of her teachers love and attention. I was hesitant on sending my two year old to preschool so young, but felt she needed a bit more socialization than what I could give her at home. Ms. Arcelia eased my mind, and also made me feel extremely comfortable with the transition. Ms. Arcelia is a blessing to our family!

Our son had lost the nuturing environment of his previous school as well as developed a need for curriculum which was not provided, and we sought out International Christian Montessori School as a much needed change for him. Our son quickly turned around in behavior in a matter of months flourished in his new preschool, thriving all through his remaining preschool months. International Christian Montessori School on Irvine Ave and the work of Ms. Somali in particular has been a tremendous blessing for our family!
