I helped start this school 29 years ago.  I love being Director of a Christian program.  Our teachers are amazing.  Our students and families are wonderful.  I like being in a quiet location and having a playground with a view.

 OUR TEACHERS......

Celine Diaz - I started working at Mount Cross in 2008.  Cathy Channels is such a thoughtful, appreciative, and creative Director and boss. The staff all get along so well.  The location of the school and the scenery from the playground make for exciting observation and conversation between the children.  Having the pastors open our meetings with prayer and devotion is the best way to start each school year and always creatively invites us to reflect on ourselves as a good soul and teacher.  I love children and teaching.  This school has really set the bar high for my future.

Melissa Henry - I have worked at Mount Cross 10 plus years.  The children and their enthusiasm are my favorite part of teaching here.

Christine Mier - I started working at our school in the year 2002.  I like our teacher-child ratio that our school provides and the way all the staff provides love and care for each individual child.

Sandie Mier - I started working at Mt. Cross in 1994.  What I like best about teaching at this school is how the staff is so wonderful with the children and kind to each other.  It is a kind, loving, Christian environment all the way around. 

Debi Murphy - Teacher at Mt. Cross since 1989

Yvonne Seibert - Mount Cross is the best preschool in Camarillo!  I like the pleasant, cooperative atmosphere with co-teachers who work well together.

Angie Strong - Since 2007 I have been teaching at Mount Cross preschool.  I love the philosophy, children and their families and other staff members.
