About Us

Montessori Learning Center was originally one of the famed “Primanti” Montessori schools of Orange County, established by Hank & Millie Primanti.

Mrs. Ramya Everson continued the high standards of academic excellence for seventeen years.  She made Montessori Learning Center an outstanding school, adhering to the teachings of Dr. Maria Montessori.  She provided a loving environment and an educational foundation for many families of siblings.

Upon Mrs. Everson’s recent retirement, Mrs. Desiree Sandoval has stepped into the Director’s role and is striving to continue the tradition of excellence at Montessori Learning Center.  She is ably assisted by Mrs. Rita Seth, the long-time Assistant Director, and other key staff.
