A Bountiful Harvest from the Brookeside Montessori Student Garden!
Our summer gardening program has harvested lettuce, radishes, tomatoes and herbs. Now, in Fall, our students at Brookeside Montessori, including Preschool, Pre-Kindergarten and Kindergarten classes harvested our Autumn garden. We raked out potatoes and pulled turnips and red beets!
We are studying parts of citrus and orchard fruits right now and began the year with a study of the parts of the vegetables which we eat (leaves, seeds, roots, fruits).
Our food preparation has been entirely raw vegetables and fruits with the exception of veggie soup!
Brookeside’s child-centered educational environment provides activities and a Pennsylvania state approved curriculum appropriate to each child’s developmental stage. The integrated curricula are guided by a highly trained staff, who are aware of the needs of the individual child.
