It’s sweet to recall our favorite pastime activities as kids, our favorite movies and TV shows, the most popular artists and stars, etc. But it’s even more wonderful to learn that our favorite stars continued to be great people and have become role models for future generations!
Take for example child star Camille Prats who is now an educator as well as directress and co-owner of a school, alongside her child star brother, John Prats.

Camille is best known for her role in the ‘90s as Princess Sarah in “Sarah: Ang Munting Prinsesa”, the local adaptation of 1985 Nippon Animation anime “Princess Sarah”.
But did you know that our Princess Sara is no longer a ‘munting princesa’ but a grown woman who is now the directress of her own school?

Divine Angels Montessori of Cainta, Inc. is located in Cainta, Rizal, is owned and operated by Camille and her brother, John, with the guidance of their businessman dad.
According to John, it was really Camille who wanted to open a school and impart the Montessori method she learned in the US.

“Si Camille ‘yung mas active sa buong core ng school kasi siya ‘yung may background pero kami, ‘yung family, kami ‘yung investors,” John explained.
“Kay Cams talaga (‘yung idea). Noong nagbuntis siya kay Nathan, nasa States siya noon at wala siyang magawa. Nag-aral siya ng Montessori teaching, so nung dumating siya ni-renovate ‘yung lumang office ni daddy, tapos ginawang three or four classrooms. Nag-start siya tatlo ang teacher niya. Siya nagtuturo minsan. Nag-start ng small and eventually ito na kami buong family na ang nag-invest.”
With big dreams for the students, Camille opened a small school in 2009. It would later grow and start accepting elementary students by 2014. Today, the school was over 300 students, with Camille still on the helm. She aims for the school to be at par with other high-end schools.
