Recently Rachel Yoder visited Brookeside Montessori School
Mrs. Yoder is a Pennsylvania Dutch author, illustrator, and folk artist. She shared her book, Penny Olive, a story about a Pennsylvania Dutch girl. Mrs. Yoder also shared the book she illustrated, Davey Applebutter, a story about a Pennsylvania Dutch boy.
The stories celebrate the art and food of this culture. The books are also written in the Pennsylvania Dutch language. It was fun to meet the real Penny Olive too. Sell iss der beschde Daag! “This is the best day ever!”
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.
Enrollment is ongoing as space is available.
