If you are looking for more than ‘just a daycare’ – THIS is the place!

Our son has special needs (speech) and a severe allergy to fire ants – they sprayed before our kids start and that was the very beginning of a beautiful relationship.

The staff is extremely helpful, loving, and the app they use to showcase pictures all day is great.

If you are looking for more than ‘just a daycare’ – THIS is the place! They structure everything to run like school, preparing the kiddos for kindergarten and beyond.

I Can’t Believe The Difference In Her Confidence

My daughter was on the wait list for almost a year, now that she has started here I can’t believe the difference in her confidence in just a few short weeks. She comes home singing her ABC’s, counting and showing me how she’s writing her name.

The staff is extremely welcoming and I LOVE getting pictures of her throughout the day. She literally runs down the hall to her class. What a great school, I’m so happy to have her here.

Best Investment For Your Child’s Education

My daughters have come leaps and bounds from where they were two months ago, when they started. I highly recommend this school. Best investment for your child’s education.

I was very nervous about my child starting kindergarten, but I tested her readiness level again and she is right on track. Hands down the best school they have been too.

Absolutely love the app with pictures and daily updates!

Bloom isn’t your average “day care”. They’re more like extended family that loves your children like thier own. We have been at Bloom for over 2 years now and we couldn’t be happier with our sons development and education while here.

We absolutely love the app with pictures and daily updates, as well as the teachers staying in touch with us to talk about new milestones or needs for both kids.

I don’t have to worry about him being there

When I was looking for a school for my daughter, I wanted a safe place for her to go and a place that will teach and love her. FOUND IT! My husband and I chose Bloom with out a doubt.

It’s a family oriented school and the staff and the teachers genuinely love your children. The children learn there. It not chaos when you pick up your child, they are actively engaged in an activity. My husband and I love having her there.
