Brookside Montessori

Constructive Triangles 🔺

At Brookside Montessori, even our geometry materials invite children to think rather than simply memorize.

The Constructive Triangles are a classic Montessori material designed to help children explore how shapes relate to one another. As children combine and rearrange the triangles, they discover that different shapes can be constructed from the same basic pieces.

This work supports:
🔺 Visual discrimination and geometry
🔺 Spatial reasoning
🔺 Problem-solving and concentration
🔺 Fine-motor coordination
🔺 Preparation for later mathematical concepts

And perhaps most importantly, children get to experience the satisfaction of figuring something out for themselves. ❤️

This is what we love about Montessori: beautiful materials, purposeful work, and learning that grows from the child's own exploration.

✨ We currently have limited openings for the 2026–27 school year.

Thankyou, Ms.Diana, for feeding us so well 🍴

🐍 A little visitor in our outdoor environment! 🌿

Today we spotted a snake while exploring outside! Moments like this are such a wonderful reminder that nature is the classroom, too. Instead of simply observing from a distance, we talked about what we noticed, practiced giving wildlife space, and enjoyed the excitement of discovering something unexpected.

At Brookside Montessori, we believe children learn through meaningful, hands-on experiences—including the ones that happen when we step outside and see what nature has to offer. 🌱

✨ Looking for a Montessori environment where curiosity, independence, and connection to nature are encouraged every day? We currently have openings!

🌎 Exploring the World Through Montessori 🌎

The Montessori continent map is more than a geography lesson—it’s an opportunity for children to build a mental map of the world through their hands.

As children work with the map, they develop:
🗺️ Geographic awareness — learning that our world is made up of continents, countries, and diverse places.
✋ Fine-motor skills — carefully removing, carrying, and replacing each puzzle piece.
🧠 Memory and concentration — noticing shapes, locations, and relationships between continents.
🌍 A sense of connection — beginning to understand that the world is much larger than their immediate surroundings.

Montessori geography begins with concrete, hands-on experiences and gradually builds toward more abstract understanding. A simple puzzle can become the foundation for a lifelong curiosity about our world.

We currently have a few last openings at Brookside Montessori!

Preparing the Hand ✋🌿

Before children are ready to write, they need opportunities to prepare the hand. Tracing a path with stones strengthens fine-motor control, hand-eye coordination, concentration, and the small muscles needed for future writing.

In Montessori, purposeful hands-on work lays the foundation for confident, independent writing. 💛

✨ We currently have limited openings at Brookside Montessori.

Addition Strip Board in action!

Our students are building a strong understanding of addition by using hands-on materials, practicing quantity, number relationships, and mathematical thinking in a concrete and meaningful way. 🧮❤️

This is one of the things we love about Montessori: math isn’t just memorizing facts—it’s something children can see, touch, explore, and understand.

🌿 We also have VERY limited openings for ages 16 months through 6th grade! If you’ve been thinking about Montessori for your child, now is a great time to reach out. We’d love to tell you about our program and available spaces!

✨ Multiplication Board ✨

The Montessori Multiplication Board gives children a hands-on way to explore multiplication. Rather than memorizing facts first, they build each equation with beads, count the results, and begin to recognize patterns on their own.

This beautiful material helps develop:
• Confidence with multiplication facts
• Number sense and pattern recognition
• Concentration and independence
• A deep understanding of repeated addition

In Montessori, children don't just learn the answer—they discover why it works.

Limited enrollment openings for 16mo-6th grade!

✨ Trinomial Cube ✨

The Trinomial Cube is a beautiful Montessori material that helps children develop visual discrimination, concentration, coordination, and an understanding of complex mathematical relationships.

Through carefully arranging the colorful cubes to match the control pattern, children begin to recognize patterns, order, and spatial relationships. This hands-on work lays the foundation for later algebraic thinking by introducing the concept of the cube of a trinomial in a concrete, meaningful way.

In Montessori, children don’t just memorize concepts — they experience them. 💛
