Update as of January 8, 2023

Dear BHM Community, friends and perspective families, 

 Blossoming Hill Montessori reflects some of our greatest joys, hardest work, and belief in community. We love what we have built, but the time has come to close our doors.

Blossoming Hill Montessori will be ending business operations once school concludes in June 2023. The reason for this decision is not singular – it’s the collective impact of the last few years, the heavy burden of inflation and the challenge to hire and retain staff in a competitive environment.

  In the Fall of 2010, a friend suggested that a new Montessori school could come to fruition in our area.  Teresa and I are forever grateful for this suggestion, and we have spent the last twelve years working to grow BHM into an incredible school and community for so many children, families, and staff.  We did not know what BHM would become but with each person's contributions it has become an incredibly special place. We cherish the magic that has occurred in our learning community, and the forever friendships forged between children and adults, alike.

  We still have many details to figure out with the business, we do not have the full plan in place. As you can imagine, this is logistically complex. We are closing all enrollment inquiries and suggest families reach out to local schools in our community for enrollment. 

Thank you for your incredible support over the past twelve school years and for being a part of our special place.  We will forever be grateful for this time in our lives and for the lives we were able to support, encourage, educate, and care for daily.  

 

With Gratitude,

April Shiosaki & Teresa Falavigna
