Jeanette grew up in Traverse City and found Montessori almost ten years ago. She has worked in every 0-3 classroom at the school and loves partnering with families to support children during the first years of their lives.

Annie has worked at The Children's House since the spring of 2018. When she is not at school, Annie enjoys traveling, running, reading, cooking, and spending time with her dog, Willow. Annie was born and raised in Traverse City but spent time living in the Upper Peninsula and Georgia before returning to the area in 2018. She also spent a summer in Portland Oregon, where she completed her Montessori training in 2021. Annie has been a guide in both the Nido and Young Children's Community and continues to be very passionate about the first three years of life.
