Description: On sunny days our children enjoy our newly renovated fully equipped front and back safety-surfaced play yards. And when the weather is not so nice recreational games and activities are played in our spacious gymnasium. At Bloomingdale Day Care all programs and activities are specifically geared towards your child's age. Our curriculum has been carefully chosen and we believe from many years of experience to be one of the best. Parents are welcome to attend and observe anytime during school hours. We have our annual "Back to School Night" in October. All are welcome to meet and greet with our staff to discuss the upcoming school year. Parent conferences are encouraged twice a year. We welcome any new ideas and suggestions from our parents. Contact us today or use our Facts and Question page on this site for more information.
Where possible, ChildcareCenter provides inspection reports as a service to families. This information is deemed reliable, but is not guaranteed. We encourage families to contact the daycare provider directly with any questions or concerns, as the provider may have already addressed some or all issues. Reports can also be verified with your local daycare licensing office.
