Four Seasons Montessori School was established in 2012, out of a love and appreciation for the Montessori philosophy and the positive impact it makes on children both as individuals and as part of our community.  As a parent, Annette was introduced to the Montessori philosophy as she sought out a better learning environment that she felt would meet the needs of her own children. Annette was impressed with the breadth of Montessori education her children were receiving to the point that she decided to pursue an education and career in Montessori.

Annette began a new journey in which she can share her passion for children, her love of life, and her commitment to education with others through the establishment of Four Seasons Montessori School. Annette, together with other staff members, share their love of learning and love of community with the children at Four Seasons Montessori School.
