Parents & Families

A child is a gift and a responsibility. We love to be with them, but we also have to provide for the well-being of our families. Many parents must rely on childcare on a daily basis, and leaving your child with someone else is a necessary but often difficult decision. We invite you to consider the advantages of the Bloom experience.

Bloom Early Learning & Child Care is a special place that loves and nurtures all children.   A place where children from 6 weeks to age 5 learn and grow.   A place where children and families thrive and bloom.  A place that makes quality childcare affordable for the children of low-income families through scholarships and financial assistance. Our unique blend of scholarship and private pay families fosters a diverse body of kids and families, and an opportunity to strengthen our community.

Parent Resources

At Bloom Early Learning, we believe that strong families build strong communities. Our commitment to children, families and the community is met in part by offering parents the support and resources needed to give their children a great start in life and a bright future.

On a regular basis, our centers offer parent education sessions on child development and health. Additionally, we encourage our Bloom parents to look to the following information sources for valuable insights on raising happy, healthy children:

• NAEYC – Research-based resources, tips and ideas for families—from child development to reading, writing, music, math, and more!
• Parent Aware – Offering free tools and family support resources to help families find the quality early education and community based services that assist and support parents to help provide their children with what they need to succeed in school and life. A comprehensive list can be found at www.parentaware.org
• Help Me Grow MN – Information about how to help young children develop, learn and grow.
• Center on the Developing Child – Research on early childhood, brain architecture and more. Videos to help break down key concepts.
