Holy Infant Montessori Center (HIMC), is an institutional facility situated at the entrance of the BF Homes Phase I, Bgy. 169 in the First District of Caloocan City. It was founded in the summer of 1977 by Mrs. Carmencita Hernandez - Reyes in a residence at the West Triangle. A year later, HIMC was established in BF Homes Caloocan. By 1983, the grade school department was founded. 1986 was a milestone for HIMC when the Department of Education(formerly known as DECS) gave HIMC a Recognition Status for its PreSchool department. This was followed by Complete Elementary Courses recognized in 1988.
It was 1992, when Mr. Gerard H. Reyes, Mrs. Reyes' son, headed the HIMC Administration as Director with his father Mr. Domingo Reyes as president. In 1996, HIMc opened the high school department, integrating computer education in its curriculum. The first set of High School graduates were presented on the year 2000. HIMC is now running for over thirty years.

The first editor-in-chief of The Oracle was Vida Valkyrie Subingsubing, and the first associate editor was Julius Romel Fernandez.
