Bloom Beginnings
Bloom Beginnings is the perfect “next step” after a caregiver-child class. This small-group, two-hour drop-off program is led by an experienced early childhood educator, ensuring a nurturing balance of play and learning.
Designed to give toddlers a warm, engaging introduction to preschool, the program offers a predictable rhythm, hands-on activities, and plenty of opportunities to practice independence—all within Bloom & Grow’s creative, supportive environment.
A gentle next step between playgroup and preschool—where curiosity & creativity bloom.
