What a wonderful first day back at Brighton Montessori! 💚

There is something so special about walking through our school and hearing our classrooms filled once again with the laughter, voices, curiosity, and excitement of our students. This is what brings our school to life!

Today was about reconnecting, building relationships, exploring our environments, and beginning to find our rhythm together. New faces. Familiar faces. New routines. New opportunities to learn and grow. 🌱

We are officially swinging into our 11th school year—ROOTED in who we are and ready to RISE together!

Here’s to a year filled with independence, confidence, connection, discovery, and so much joy. We are so happy to have our Brighton Montessori family back together! ❤️

08/21/2026

As we wrap up a full week of professional development, learning, growing, cleaning, organizing, and preparing, our classrooms are READY—and so are our teachers! ❤️

There is so much intention that goes into preparing a Montessori environment. Every shelf, every material, every space, and every detail is thoughtfully prepared to welcome our students and set them up for success.

Our teachers have spent this week investing in themselves, supporting one another, and preparing beautiful environments where children can feel safe, confident, independent, and excited to learn.

Now comes the BEST part. ✨

We cannot wait to open our doors and welcome back our returning students while meeting all the new faces joining our Brighton Montessori family!

Here’s to our 11th school year—Rooted & Rising. 🌿
Rooted in our values.
Rooted in our Montessori foundation.
Rooted in partnership.
And ready to RISE together.

Teachers, your classrooms are ready. Your hearts are ready. Let’s make this an incredible year! ❤️

Today was one of those full-circle moments. 🌱✨

We had the privilege of welcoming Ben, a very near and dear friend and business coach to Leann, who joined our team via Zoom as we continue our Rooted & Rising journey.

Ben’s message was simple, but powerful: Do one more.

One more intentional choice.
One more positive thought.
One more act of kindness.
One more hard thing.
One more moment of choosing growth instead of comfort.

Because becoming the person we want to be doesn’t happen in one giant leap. It happens through the small, intentional choices we make every single day.

We stay rooted in who we are, what we value, and the person we want to be. And then we keep rising—one choice, one action, one more at a time. 🌿

For Leann, having someone who has been both a trusted coach and a dear friend pour into our team made this conversation even more meaningful. We are grateful for the people who challenge us, believe in us, and remind us that growth requires action.

Here’s to staying rooted, continuing to rise, and asking ourselves each day:

What is ONE MORE thing I can do today to become the person I want to be? 💚

As we prepare for another incredible school year, we are continuing to invest in the people who pour so much into our children every single day—our educators. ❤️

Today, we had the privilege of welcoming Melanie, a licensed social worker, to Brighton Montessori for a powerful training on Caring for the Caregiver.

One of our biggest takeaways was simple but important: our social-emotional health directly impacts the social-emotional health of the children in our care. How we regulate ourselves, manage stress, communicate, and respond in challenging moments matters. Children feel our energy and learn from the way we navigate our own emotions.

Our team had the opportunity to:
🌿 Reflect on our individual strengths
🌿 Identify areas of concern and opportunities for growth
🌿 Better understand stress and emotional regulation
🌿 Learn practical strategies for taking ownership of our well-being
🌿 Build resilience so we can continue showing up with patience, purpose, and intention

Caring for ourselves isn’t separate from caring for children. It is part of caring for children.

When our educators feel grounded, supported, and equipped, they are better able to create the calm, respectful, emotionally safe environments our children deserve.

This is what Rooted & Rising is all about. 🌱 Strong roots first. Then we grow. Then we help others grow alongside us.

Thank you, Melanie, for pouring into our team and giving us tools we can carry into our classrooms, our relationships, and our lives.

Here’s to taking care of the caregivers who take such beautiful care of our children. 💚

As we step into our 11th school year at Brighton Montessori, our theme is Rooted & Rising—a reminder that in order to continue growing, leading, teaching, and giving our best to others, we have to stay rooted in what keeps us strong. 💚

Today, we had the honor of welcoming Life Coach Jenn Minchin, who spent time with our team talking about something so many of us can relate to: moving from burnout to balance.

We pour so much into our children, our families, our classrooms, and one another. But we cannot continually pour from an empty cup.

Being rooted means knowing what grounds you.
🌱 Taking care of yourself.
🌱 Setting healthy boundaries.
🌱 Finding small moments of joy.
🌱 Asking for support when you need it.
🌱 Giving yourself permission to recharge.

And when our roots are strong, we rise.

We rise as educators.
We rise as teammates.
We rise as leaders.
And most importantly, we are better equipped to help our children rise right alongside us.

Thank you, Jenn, for investing in our team and reminding us that taking care of ourselves isn’t separate from the work we do—it helps make the work we do possible.

Here’s to Year 11. Rooted in who we are. Rising into who we are becoming. 🌿✨

What better way to wrap up our Disney Staycation than by letting our little dreamers step into a world of imagination! From princess dresses and favorite characters to storytelling, music, creativity, and plenty of smiles, this week reminded us just how magical childhood truly is. ✨

At Brighton Montessori, we love creating experiences that allow children to imagine, explore, create, and simply have FUN together. These are the moments that build friendships, confidence, and memories. 💕

As we close out our Disney adventure—and another amazing summer together—we’re reminded that sometimes the best kind of magic is simply watching children be children. 🥰

✨ Dream big. Believe in yourself. And never be too grown-up for a little Disney magic! ✨

And just like that… our 10th Summer Camp has come to a magical close! ✨

What better way to wrap up our Disney Staycation Week than with a visit from Timeless Tales and a wonderful performance of Rapunzel! 👑💜🏰

Our students loved watching the story come to life—full of imagination, laughter, music, and a little Disney magic. ✨

This week was the perfect ending to an incredible summer filled with hands-on learning, special visitors, themed adventures, friendships, and SO much fun.

Ten summers of creating these experiences for our children. Ten summers of learning, growing, laughing, and making memories together. ❤️

Thank you to Timeless Tales for helping us end our Disney adventure—and our 10th Brighton Montessori Summer Camp—on such a magical note!

☀️ Here’s to the memories we made, the friendships we strengthened, and another amazing summer in the books!

08/12/2026

Our Disney Staycation week is even more magical when our students show up dressed for the adventure! ❤️💛🖤 From Mickey and Minnie to princesses, Pixar favorites, and more, we LOVE seeing all of those Disney shirts filling our school.

There is something special about bringing a theme to life together. It builds excitement, creates connection, and gives our children another reason to walk through our doors smiling and ready for the day. ✨

Because sometimes learning should come with a little extra fun, trust, and pixie dust! 🧚‍♀️✨

Next stop on our magical adventure… more Disney fun! 🎢🏰

No trip to Disney is complete without a little preparation! Our students are busy creating their very own Fast Passes as we get ready for a magical Disney Staycation adventure right here at Brighton Montessori! 🎟️✨

There is something so special about watching children use their creativity, imagination, and independence to bring an experience to life. From making our passes to preparing for all the fun ahead, the magic is already happening! 💙

Who needs a plane ticket when you have imagination? 😉🏰

✨ Fast Passes ready… let the magical adventure begin! ✨

One of the greatest strengths of a team is realizing we all have something to teach—and we all have something to learn. 🌱✨

At Brighton Montessori, we recognize the unique strengths within our staff and give our team opportunities to share those strengths with one another. That meant one of our own, Ms. Tessie stepping up to lead professional development and help all of us continue to grow.

We take professional development seriously. Not because it’s something we have to check off a list, but because great educators never stop learning. Even topics we’ve heard before are worth revisiting. We grow. Our children change. Our perspective changes. And sometimes hearing something again is exactly what helps it click in a new way.

This is what it means to truly live our mission of Bringing Out the Best in Others. ❤️
