Sorry for being unclear...
We're not trying to turn her into a Montessori teacher or her classroom into a Montessori classroom-- just interested in giving her a book with ideas for how to set up work stations to replace some of the ones that are leaving with the former teacher.
I know some of these are very cheap and just require poster-board, paper, and index cards, for example. They were very popular in regular classrooms in the 1970s... also called learning centers, work centers etc. There's a few talked about in Gifted Kids in the Regular Classroom, as they're standard for differentiated learning environments, but we were hoping for something more detailed and age-appropriate. This:

My mom says they had one decades ago at Headstart (and they didn't have much money), and I was hoping someone knew the title of one that we could get.
