Bloom Children's Center

“Bloom Children’s Center is developed around the understanding that children learn through play experience. Research and experience have shown that play is what is most developmentally appropriate and crucial for success in learning in young children.

Our school community serves as a safe and secure environment for children to develop a sense of wonder and belonging. We desire for children to enter our space with curiosity and confidence, enabling them to act creatively and independently in play experiences. We strive to maintain an environment conducive to uninhibited play.

In accordance with our foundational belief in play as self-directed learning, we consciously choose to prioritize play and exploration as opposed to direct academic instruction.

From infant through preschool, children move through our program as a cohort with their peers and caregivers. Our youngest groups of children move together with their peers as they age together out of one classroom and into another. Caregivers move along with the cohort, providing relationship continuity for the children through their early years. Operating in this manner fosters steady, continuous relationship building between children and their caregivers and other children..”
