Melinda Marchese – Regional Director & Costa Mesa Director

Hello, my name is Melinda. Thank you for the opportunity to serve your family! I am
honored to be the Regional Director for Nobis Preschool in Costa Mesa and Dana Point,
and Nobis Montessori. I have been in the field of Early Childhood Education for over 25
years. I graduated from California State University, Long Beach with a Bachelor of Arts
degree in Child Development and Family Studies. I have experience working in
corporate childcare as a two’s teacher for 6 years then as a lead teacher for a private
school. For about 3 years, I have been a preschool director for an educational company.
I have been the director at the Costa Mesa site for 3 years and I am looking forward to
many more years with the Nobis families. “Children are our future, there is no greater
way to invest in the future then investing in our children.”
I reside in Long Beach with my husband, Louie and our dogs, Lilly and Coco along with
our cat, Bianca. We have an adult daughter name Sydnee and son name Elijah. I enjoy
biking on my cruiser trike, baking, gardening and spending time with family and friends.
My favorite to travel to every year is Hawaii, visiting three of the islands so far. The
simple things in life make me happy.
