“Bloom passionately strives to break the cycle of poverty at the start through nurturing care and an exceptional early learning program. We prepare young children for success in school and enable their parents to pursue educational and employment opportunities.”

“Bloom benefits from the support of many community partners. We partner with the wayzata high school y. E. S. (youth extending service) program in which high school juniors and seniors commit to volunteering in the classrooms several days each week. Several adult volunteers commit to reading with the children once a week for a full school year. Other adults rock babies in our infant classrooms. Because of covid-19, we suspended all in-center volunteering in march 2020. Volunteers who are not board members sit on bloom committees, including finance, marketing & development, friends of bloom, and strategic planning. Other volunteers make quilts for our children and help stock our foodshelves.”

“Bloom's goal is to dedicate half our capacity to low-income families who otherwise could not afford high quality childcare and early learning programs. Our shirley robinson scholarship fund provides tuition assistance to these families. We also help our qualifying families access government resources and other community support. Confident in their child(ren)'s care, our parents go to work or school to build greater financial stability for their families. With our proven infant through pre-k curriculum, exceptional teaching staff, low child-to-adult ratio and nurturing environment, we prepare all our children for success in school and beyond. We are accredited by the national association for the education of young children. Bloom served 121 children in 2020 (71 messiah, 50 ppc) and 51 received tuition assistance(35 messiah, 16 ppc). The shirley robinson scholarship fund supported 34 children.”
