An authentic Montessori school for our changing world
Serving preschool aged children.
Nestled in the heart of South Minneapolis, Greenbrier is an authentic Montessori preschool for children ages 3 to 6. We are proud to be located in the Powderhorn Park neighborhood across from Mayday Cafe!
Greenbrier Montessori is a member of the Wildflower Network of schools, in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Wildflower is an ecosystem of decentralized Montessori micro-schools that support children, teachers, and parents. Wildflower aspires to give all children and families the opportunity to choose high-quality, beautiful learning environments as they follow life’s unfolding journey.
The needs of mankind are universal. Our means of meeting them create the richness and diversity of the planet. The Montessori child should come to relish the texture of that diversity.
- Dr. Maria Montessori
An Authentic Montessori School
The Montessori Method emerges from the belief that children are naturally good, peaceful and curious and that in the context of a supportive environment, all children engage instinctively in the work of self-construction. With appropriate freedoms and the right support, children follow their interests to create rich learning experiences, form peaceful communities, and support and learn from one another. We are dedicated to the preparation of environments and ourselves to support the development of children.
An Intentionally Small Community
As an intentionally-small, community embedded learning environment, our school allows us to serve every child and family in deep and meaningful partnership with their teacher leaders.
A Place for All
Greenbrier Montessori admits students of any race, color, national and ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school. It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national and ethnic origin in administration of its educational policies, admissions policies, scholarship and loan programs, and athletic and other school-administered programs.

What Make us Feel Proud
“I always wanted to have my own school,” Vital told me. She got that opportunity in 2018 when she launched Cosmos Montessori, a bilingual preschool and elementary public charter school in South Minneapolis. Cosmos is part of the national Wildflower Montessori microschool network that began in 2014 to support smaller, community-embedded, more accessible Montessori schools. Wildflower helps teacher-entrepreneurs like Vital who want to launch their own schools.
