C H I L D R E N ' S H O U S E Operations Plan for Blooming Grove Montessori 4560-4562 Rustic Drive Madison, WI 53714 Blooming Grove Montessori will be owned and operated under the State of Wisconsin Licensed Child Care Licensee; Rebecca Katzenmeyer of Toad Hill Children's House. The new location will operate in addition to the current Toad Hill Montessori located at 4418 Milwaukee St. Madison, WI 53714; and follow the already established and successful order of operations. The new location will serve families on the far east side of Madison, including the immediate surrounding neighborhoods, and the surrounding communities of Sun Prairie, Cottage Grove, and Monona. Blooming Grove Montessori will be open Monday through Friday from 7:00 am to 5:15 pm, with closings and breaks following the Madison Metropolitan School District calendar. All staff working in a Montessori Classroom will be Montessori Certified or enrolled in a Montessori Certification program. Additional Assistants and support staff will be selected based on their experience carrying out the required duties of the positions which they hold. Staffing will vary from 3-6 staff members based on student enrollment, ages and licensing requirements. Licensed contractors will be hired for lawn care, snow removal and accounting. Students attending require a minimum of 75 square feet of fenced in outdoor play space per child using the space at any time. The grassy area in the front of the school allows for 1040 square feet of play space that we will fence in using a Black Aluminum Rail fencing. Classrooms will rotate using the outdoor play space with a maximum of 12 children at a time. The existing building offers ample outdoor lighting to accommodate staff needing to stay until after dark. Security cameras will be added to the lighting of each entry way. The current space offers two attached two car garages which can accommodate all of the schools storage needs. It currently offers parking for up to 12 cars. We expect this space to accommodate our needs and school population for the next 2 years. As we increase enrollment, we would like to propose extending the existing driveway an additional 50 feet providing a "turn around" space for vehicles dropping off and picking up students. In addition we would like to have a sign no bigger than 4 feet by 4 feet at the entrance of the driveway to identify our school to customers.
