Renovation Progress at Clover Montessori School!

Whoa!

The renovation progress is moving so quickly at 1025 Dodd Road! Every time we visit the building, something major has happened! One of the most exciting moments was when we opened the front door and found large machinery inside!

We knew that the new fire sprinkler system, bathrooms, kitchen, and laundry room, would require trenching through the concrete slab, but somehow it was still very surprising to see the massive piles of dirt indoors!

The walls are framed!

After the in-ground plumbing work was completed and the trenches were filled, the framing went up. The beauty of the framing is that we can feel the space taking on its intended purpose.

Now we can walk through the future door of the Toddler Community space and clearly see the future features of the room! Probably the most important thing is the children's bathroom that is accessible from inside the learning environment. That ease of access is so important during the toddler years. Also, the room is the perfect size for toddlers. It is large enough to feel spacious and comfortable, but contained enough to feel homey. The massive interior window that will visually connect the entry and the toddler room will make the room feel even brighter and more cheerful. We're especially happy that the toddler playground will be accessible from within the room. One of the windows is being changed to a door that will lead right into the playground.

Speaking of playgrounds...

If you have walked, biked, or driven past 1025 Dodd since July 22, you might have questions! The outdoor renovation progress is looking kind of dramatic at the moment. The future holds clover lawns, native plants, and beautiful play equipment!
