Four Seasons Montessori School was established 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 parents, both Annette and Joye were introduced to the Montessori philosophy as they sought out a better learning environment that they felt would meet the needs of their 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 and Joye began a new journey together in which they can share their passion for children, their love of life, and their commitment to education with others through the establishment of Four Seasons Montessori School.
