About

In our Seeds classroom, infants learn about the world through loving relationships, observation, movement, and exploration. Our teachers intentionally talk, sing, read, and play with each child throughout the day—even during everyday moments like feedings and diaper changes—to encourage language, connection, and development. Each infant’s individual routines, needs, and milestones are respected as we provide a safe and nurturing environment where they can grow at their own pace.

Goals

  • Build secure, trusting relationships with their caregivers
  • Develop early communication and language skills
  • Strengthen gross and fine motor skills through movement and exploration
  • Grow in curiosity, confidence, and independence as they explore their environment

Our Approach

Play with purpose. Relationships first.

At Bloom Early Learning Center, we believe childhood should be where children grow through play, purpose, and growing curious minds, nurturing kind hearts, and building a love of learning. Our goal is to create more than a place for children to spend their day—we want to build a community where every family is known, loved, and encouraged to learn, play, grow, and flourish.

  1. Purposeful play

    Our classrooms will be filled with opportunities to play, create, explore, get messy, and solve problems. Children thrive when they feel safe, loved, and connected—and in that environment, they are set up to thrive naturally.

  2. Relationships first

    What makes Bloom truly special goes beyond our curriculum. It will be the relationships, the teachers who genuinely know and love the children in their classrooms, and the little moments we celebrate every day.

  3. Creative Curriculum + Handwriting Without Tears

    We use Creative Curriculum, which focuses on building relationships, play, and a supportive environment—children learn best by actively exploring in a well-designed space. We also use Handwriting Without Tears, an occupational therapy-based program designed to build fine motor skills, hand strength, and correct letter formation using multisensory methods.

  4. Transitions by age + milestones

    Classroom placement and transitions are a conversation, not just a calendar. Students move to the next room based on both age and developmental milestones. While most transitions happen at year’s end, we never let the calendar override what is best for a child.

  5. Family updates via Brightwheel

    We use the Brightwheel app so families can see what their child is doing throughout the day, receive pictures, weekly updates, and upcoming events happening at the center.

Our Story

Built by educators who believe community comes first

Bloom Early Learning Center was created by two passionate educators who saw an opportunity to build something different—a place where children, families, and teachers could truly feel connected. We believe the best early learning happens within a strong community, where families are partners, teachers feel valued and supported, and every child is known, loved, and encouraged to flourish.

At Bloom, play is purposeful, relationships come first, and social-emotional development is just as important as ABCs and 123s. We want children to leave Bloom ready for kindergarten, but our definition of “ready” goes far beyond academics. We want them to leave us curious and confident, able to communicate their feelings, build friendships, solve problems, show kindness, ask questions, and believe in themselves.

Because when teachers thrive, families feel connected, and children are given the freedom to learn through play, everyone has the opportunity to Bloom.

FAQ

Good questions

What ages do you serve?

6 weeks – 6 years

What are your hours?

Our hours of operation are 7 am – 5 pm, Monday – Friday.

Do you offer part-time care?

Yes, we offer 5-, 4-, 3-, and 2-day care options.

How does your curriculum work?

We believe some of the best learning happens through play, exploration, and meaningful experiences. Our classrooms use The Creative Curriculum alongside Handwriting Without Tears to create a well-rounded, developmentally appropriate approach to early learning. Throughout the day, children participate in circle time, learning centers, music and movement, outdoor play, and hands-on activities designed to spark curiosity and build confidence. Each experience supports the whole child, helping children strengthen social-emotional skills, language and communication, early academic foundations, creativity, and independence.

How do classroom transitions work?

Classroom placement and transitions are a conversation, not just a calendar. Students will move to the next room based on both age and developmental milestones, and while most transitions happen at year’s end, we never let the calendar override what is best for a child. Our lead teachers, administration, and families make these decisions together.

How do you communicate with families?

At Bloom Early Learning Center, we use the Brightwheel app. Families will be able to see what their child is doing throughout the day as well as receive pictures, weekly updates, and upcoming events happening at the center.
