Esther Cha

Program Director

Ms. Esther has been with The Arbor since January 2021 and came with 10+ years of experience in traditional and non-traditional education settings as an elementary classroom teacher in her earlier years and then roles in administration in her later experience. All of her experience has led Ms. Esther to believe that all students thrive when their love for learning is ignited and that teachers thrive when they teach to their strengths and passions. It has become her passion to build healthy organizational culture, systems, and programs so that all can thrive. Ms. Esther is happy to be able to implement her skills in communication, organization and leadership as she serves as Program Director here at The Arbor.

Ms. Esther is a life-long learner having earned her B.A. in Human Development from UC San Diego and her M.A. in Leadership from Azusa Pacific University.

Ms. Esther appreciates the everyday joys– all that revolves around good food and good company, an invigorating Pilates workout or a head-clearing walk, and a really good cup of coffee.
