Bridgeview Montessori School offers Before Care starting at 7:15 am and After Care until 5:30 pm and begins the first day of school. All students need to be signed up in advance to attend. Students need to bring their own snack to eat while in After Care on days he/she attends. After Care is closed on Oct 31 and on the last day of school.
On Children’s House half days of school, After Care is available on a first come first served basis, with priority given to that particular day’s regular attendees. Regular fees will begin to accrue starting at 1 pm for all CH attendees.
Students who are in Before Care in the morning or in After Care in the afternoon must be signed in and/or out by the Before/After Care teacher at the point where they are turned over to Before Care or picked up from After Care. A form for that purpose is included in the Before and After Care teacher’s binder; sheets are removed monthly for invoicing.
Before Care for all students is held in the Blue Room on the lower level of the school. When dropping off your child in the morning, please enter through the Blue Room door on the right side of the building, knock on the door to the Blue Room, and wait to be let inside. Once invited into the classroom, the teacher will sign your child in using the sheet in the Before Care binder.
After Care for Children’s House students is held in the Rainbow Room. The teachers plan art and craft activities for their individual groups. Additionally, many games, puzzles, Legos, and materials for gross motor activity are available for students. During good weather, students spend the majority of their time outdoors on the playground.
When picking up your Children’s House child in the afternoon, enter the playground, go down the stairs and knock on the Rainbow Room door. During good weather, children may be on the playground and can be picked up there.
After Care for Elementary students is held in the Blue Room. When picking up your Elementary child, go down the driveway on the right side of the building, and knock on the door. During good weather, students spend time outdoors on the playground and can be picked up there.
To ensure a smooth transition for your child(ren), the other students in the program, and the teachers, we ask that once your child is signed out to you, you depart promptly.
Parents who need to reserve space for their child on a regular basis need to fill out a registration form.
Parents who need to utilize Before or After Care for their child on an occasional day as a “drop-in” must contact the school to confirm space is available. Parents may contact the Administrative Coordinator by phone or email to request Before Care or After Care use on a given day, but parents must receive confirmation that space is available in advance.
