Arcadia offers a comprehensive curriculum that includes practical life skills, sensorial activities, language development, math, and cultural studies, tailored to each child's pace. Additionally, optional classes such as Dance, Gymnastics, and Chinese Language Immersion enrich the educational experience. Guided by Owner-Director Cheryl Roberts since 1976, who holds a degree in Speech Pathology from CSULA, the fully Montessori-trained faculty fosters a stable and loving community. Many staff members are alumni of Arcadia Montessori themselves, which enhances the school's multi-generational atmosphere. Families choose Arcadia for its consistent leadership and inclusive admissions policy that welcomes all age-appropriate children while providing support for needs such as toilet training. With its low student-teacher ratio and strong emphasis on family partnerships, Arcadia Montessori School not only prioritizes academic growth but also cultivates confidence and creativity in every child.
