After more than three decades of nurturing young minds and fostering a love of learning, Rose Pawlak will retire in June 2025 as the owner and director of The Montessori Preschool of Redwood Meadows-Bragg Creek. Since founding the school in 1994, she has been a cornerstone of the community, shaping generations of children with her dedication to Montessori education.
Under Ms. Pawlak’s leadership, the preschool became a place where children could explore, grow, and develop independence in a warm and supportive environment. Families from Redwood Meadows, Bragg Creek, and beyond have trusted her school to provide an exceptional foundation for lifelong learning.
As the preschool looks to the future, Ms. Pawlak’s daughter, Sarah Dahlseide, will step into the role of director at the newly renamed ‘Redwood Montessori’. A dedicated educator, Sarah brings a deep commitment to maintaining the school’s high standards. Families can expect a seamless transition and the same level of care and excellence that has defined the preschool for more than 30 years.
The Montessori Preschool of Redwood Meadows-Bragg Creek stands as a testament to Ms. Pawlak’s vision and dedication. As she moves into retirement, she looks forward to spending more time with her granddaughters, traveling, playing music, and exploring her artistic passions.
On behalf of the Redwood Meadows and Bragg Creek communities, we extend our deepest gratitude to Rose for her extraordinary contributions and wish her all the best in this next chapter.
