Bridgeview Montessori School Children's House Teacher Jenny Martin helps a student make words. Come meet Jenny and others from Bridgeview Montessori School on Saturday.
1. Tell us about your business/non profit and how it benefits local families?
Bridgeview Montessori School provides a Montessori alternative to local public and parochial schools. Although the Montessori philosophy is over 100 years old, its tenets are in keeping with today's STEM and project-based focus. 2. Where is it located? We are conveniently located at the base of the Sagamore Bridge at 885 Sandwich Road, Sagamore, MA 3. What is your favorite thing about our community? I love how family oriented our community is. At our school, we see grandparents, aunts, uncles and, of course, parents all having a hand is the education of the child. 4. How else do you get involved with the community? Bridgeview Montessori pairs with a local organization for a three-year cycle to help that organization in whatever ways it needs. In the past we have partnered with the Bourne Head Start and the Maya Childcare Cooperative that is a local organization that supports a Guatemalan preschool for children of working moms. Most recently we have begun our partnership with the National Marine Life Center in Buzzards Bay. So far we have raised over $700 to donate to the center. We will be presenting them with a check in January. 5. What do you think are the biggest challenges facing parents in our community? Parents today want authentic experiences with their families. It is hard for that to happen with the overabundance of technology in our society. Parents also want to be assured that their children are being served in the school setting. Sometimes communication with everyone involved in a child's program can be hard. Here is a place where perhaps technology could be helpful, but we find that families really crave face to face meaningful conversation. 6. What is your favorite memory or story over the years involving you and your business? Bridgeview Montessori became a non-profit organization in 2008. At the time, the school was faced with dropping enrollment due to a floundering economy. One of the most poignant memories I have is of a 2008 faculty meeting when our dedicated faculty decided to "dig deep" and do whatever needed to open our doors and continue to provide a stellar school experience. Living through that hard moment makes our current thriving learning community that much more resilient and powerful. 7. What advice would you give parents and caregivers in our community? Keep your schedule for your children reasonable. Let your children be bored and figure out what to do next. Unplug and try to be in the moment with your children. Play with water.... read a long chapter book. Get really dirty. 8. Do you have any specials, events, or anything else taking place this upcoming year that our parents should know about? For those interested in a Bridgeview Montessori education or Montessori in general, the best thing to do is to contact our Assistant Head of School, Suzanne Lawson at 508-888-3567/slawson@bridgeviewmontessori.org. Even if you are just curious, visit our website, www.bridgeviewmontessori.org, take a look, have a conversation. Peace cannot be kept by force; it can only be kept by understanding. ― Albert Einstein

Bridgeview Montessori School Open House
Bridgeview Montessori School to Hold Tuesday Tea Information Session for Prospective Families on April 9, 2019. On Tuesday, April 9 between 4:30 pm and 5:30 pm, Bridgeview Montessori School will hold a Tuesday Tea Information Session for families interested in learning about a Montessori education for children ages 2.9 through 6th grade. Located at 885 Sandwich Road in Sagamore, the school will welcome families to explore the three programs that cater to each plane of development that Maria Montessori conceived of when she developed her pedagogy over 100 years ago. As is customary in a Montessori school, Bridgeview has a Children’s House serving students ages 2.9 to 6, an Elementary I serving students 6 to 9, and Elementary II serving students 9 to 12. The Tuesday Tea Information Session held on April 9 will include presentations in each of the three programs, Children’s House, Elementary I and Elementary II, to demonstrate how Montessori is unique. Parents and caregiveres who choose to bring their children will be encouraged to observe them as they engage with the work and the environment. Suzanne Lawson, Director of Admissions, explains, “We think it is important for parents to know their school choices. All schools are not created equal and not all Montessori programs are the same. More than ever before, parents are actively invested in finding the just-right-choice school for their children. Our information sessions as well as visits during the school day are key for today’s discriminating and careful parents.” Additional visit dates as well as more information can be found by visiting www.bridgeviewmontessori.org. To learn more about the school check out the Cape Kids Cast Interview with Suzanne Lawson and one of their students! Check out this week's Cape Kids Cast as they tour and interview Bridgeview Montessori School an amazing school and the event sponsor of the upcoming 2nd Annual Cape Cod Parent Resource Fair!

Bridgeview Montessori School 1. Tell us about your business/non profit and how it benefits local families. Bridgeview Montessori School, located on beautiful Cape Cod at the base of the Sagamore Bridge, serves children 2.9 to 12 years old in our Children's House, Elementary I and Elementary II. Adhering to the principles set out by Maria Montessori, we celebrate the individual and differentiate instruction to serve a range of learners. We are a small school by design which allows us to be organic and thoughtful about each and every thing we do. Our teachers are Montessori trained educators who have dedicated their professional lives to guiding students to be the best they can be, academically, socially, and emotionally. They collaborate with each other, they actively seek professional development, and they strive to create a family / school partnership for each individual who shakes their hands while entering our classrooms. Our families are diverse. We have working parents, military parents, single parents, grandparents raising their grandchildren, and LGBTQI parents. Some parents apply for and receive financial aid; some parents pay full tuition. Some parents are familiar with independent school culture and Montessori specifically; some are new to Montessori and to private school. Some parents choose to have their children here from 2.9 through 12 years old, some see us as a preschool, and some come to us after having been disappointed with the traditional schooling provided by their towns. These varied backgrounds and experiences add to the richness of our community. Central to this vibrant community are our students. Each individual who walks through our doors does so with the raw material needed to implant, grow and blossom in our environment. That student may be a math wizard, a dinosaur fan, an avid reader, a soon to be toilet trained two year old. In any case, these students learn what they are good at and learn where their growing edges are. ….. They become emboldened. In a society where childhood can be rushed, technology is everywhere, and frenetic schedules are more the norm than the anomaly, Bridgeview Montessori is vital for those families and educators searching for that safe port in the storm. We have created an environment where everyone feels safe to do his or her best work and safe to share those growing edges that we all have. We know that if our passions are celebrated, we are freer to explore and improve our areas of weakness. We learn to ask for help and to receive help. We learn to give encouragement and support. We feel our importance and know we can make good choices. Our school grows as we as individuals grow. 2. Where is it located? Bridgeview Montessori is located at 885 Sandwich Road in Sagamore. We are at the base of the Sagamore Bridge on the Cape side. 3. What is your favorite thing about our community? The young families in this area are discriminating, always looking for just that right product or experience to enhance the life of the family. We strive to have our children have experiences that are authentic. Looking for sea glass, eating a fresh shucked oyster or visiting one of our wonderful small town libraries are part of the daily lives of our Cape families. We love how hardworking families are to be able to provide the very best experiential learning and growth for the children. 4. How else do you get involved with the community? For three year cycles, Bridgeview Montessori picks an organization to support through outreach. We feel it important that these organizations have a local component so our children can see and learn exactly how their efforts help. Bridgeview Montessori is in its third year helping to support Maya Childcare Inc. This organization with it's board in MA. is a non-profit corporation that works to improve the lives of children living in poverty in Guatemala. Every donation received goes directly to supporting the Acorn Childcare Center in Guatemala...... A board member from the organization visits our school each year to talk about our work together. Before Maya, we were supporting our local Bourne Head Start Program. Next year, we choose a new organization. 5. What do you think are the biggest challenges facing parents in our community? We think that parents have lots of choice today but are also always reminded not to over-schedule their children. I believe young families must feel pressure from both sides.... help your child explore to find his/her passions; don't over-schedule your child; let children enjoy childhood. I think at Bridgeview Montessori, children get what they need..... so many parents supplement their child's school experience by providing myriad activities. A Bridgeview education can be a just right fit with very little supplementing. 6. What is your favorite memory or story over the years involving you and your business? There are so many. Although seemingly trivial, memories created while at recess are some of my personal favorites. An educator for over 25 years, I still find recess with children to be one of the most compelling times of the day. Watching energy, creativity, problem solving, self expression, cooperation and imagination flourish each day what keeps me involved with this vibrant community of learners. How many of us get recess? I am lucky that I do every day! 7. What advice would you give parents and caregivers in our community? Choose your child's school, products, and activities with care so that they enhance rather than dominate. Family time is really the biggest gift. Everything else should be carefully selected to add richness but not replace unstructured time spend together ...... in the moment. 8. Do you have any specials, events, or anything else taking place this upcoming year that our parents should know about? To learn about our school, we always suggest seeing us in action. To make this easy for families, we have planned Welcome Wednesday events and Tuesday Tea Information Sessions. These are easy drop in events that will give you a sense of how we serve children and families: Welcome Wednesdays
Also, look for information about our Montessori Toddler Playgroup starting this winter. See www.bridgeviewmontessori.org for more information about this program and our school in general.   Sacred Heart School Still Accepting Applications for 2018-2019 School Year!
Sacred Heart School, a Catholic, independent, co-educational learning community located in Kingston, MA, educates children in Preschool through Grade Twelve in a respectful, academically challenging environment which is rooted in the Gospel. Spanning more than one hundred twenty acres, our campus provides a vast array of facilities that allow students to grow and explore the world around them! By putting an equal emphasis on academic and moral development, Sacred Heart students are not only prepared for success in the classroom, but also embody our mission to serve those in need, and to live compassionately in pursuit of social justice. We are proud of the foundation we are able to offer our students in the areas of technology and digital literacy, as well as verbal and multimedia communications. Our existing groundwork of robotics, coding, and digital literacy classes at the Early Childhood Center and Elementary School, and AP Computer Science, programming, and instructional technology classes at the High School provides a great opportunity to specialize in these areas especially when they are coupled with our long tradition of strong communication skills. Sacred Heart students begin honing their writing, speaking, and presentation skills early. At the Elementary School programs like the Wax Museum, Geography Fair, and Market Day require students to present, not just to their peers, but also to visiting adults. Part of their digital literacy instruction is focused on digital citizenship and how to behave in our increasingly screen-focused society. When they move into the Middle School, all of our students take public speaking classes and have the opportunity to compete with our nationally ranked speech and debate team. Recently we’ve also reintroduced our broadcast journalism program which allows students to film news broadcasts, record podcasts, and create short films and PSAs. Coupled with outstanding and rigorous academics, Sacred Heart offers a number of after school activities and athletic opportunities that allow each student to find his or her own niche. Whether it’s on the Lacrosse or Soccer field, in the Art Room, singing in the Chorus, participating in the Student Council, or serving as a Peer Minister, Sacred Heart has something for everyone. Sacred Heart School’s educational vision nurtures trust and confidence in God’s faithful presence. The school provides its students with a rigorous curriculum supported by evolving teaching methods, advances in technology, and a diversified liberal arts program designed to inspire and educate the whole person. Visit us today to see how you too, can be a part of the Sacred Heart Family!
