Proud mommy! Aug 24, 2015
I have used this provider for more than 6 months

My two children attend Children In Bloom and I could not be more proud or happier! My almost 4 year old has attended since she was 10 months old. The activities they do and the things she talks about go above and beyond what a daycare could do. She has had some issues, but with the help of all the teachers and the director, she is able to overcome them with flying colors. I am very aware of how her day is and am in close communication with all the teachers. My 1 1/2 year old is also blossoming. He has attended since he was 6 months old and again, I am very aware of how his days are and was even sent pictures of him doing cute activities. That is just what this mommma needs sometimes. As a working parent, all we want for our kiddos is to know they are loved and well cared for. I have NO doubts that both my children are getting the best care possible. If it can't be me or my husband, Children in Bloom is the next best thing!

Conflicted Father Apr 27, 2015

I would like to point out that my wife and I have a drastically different opinion regarding this establishment. I have seen substantial growth and development in my child but credit them most with the progression of social skills. The negative issues I have encountered all pertain to the behavior and decisions of the staff. I understand we all have varying beliefs when it comes to raising children. With this in mind, we provided specific requests/instructions as to what NOT to feed our child therefore removing any uncertainty. On several occasions and by several members of staff, our requests were disregarded. Upon questioning, we were informed that we “needed to relax”, that “it’s not that big of a deal”. Regardless of the severity, this disrespectful nonchalant type of behavior isn’t what we’re paying for. We’ve asked them to provide a service. If they agreed to the terms and requests set forth, I feel that they should fulfill their end of the bargain continuously, not when it suits them.

In addition, there is absolutely no reason to give babies and toddlers, candies, cupcakes and sweets unless a parent authorizes it. The fact that anyone would think that’s okay blows my mind. HELLO!!! Anyone heard of childhood diabetes and/or obesity. Their little organs aren’t strong enough to breakdown the large amounts of sugar found in this stuff.

Happy Momma Nov 04, 2014

This daycare is great. My child's teachers are awesome, and I love that they have a curriculum that they follow even for the younger children. Since coming here my child has learned so much more than before and I feel this was the perfect switch for them. My child has also not been sick since switching to this center, which I feel has a lot to do with their practices for cleanliness. I feel the staff really enjoys what they're doing and it shows in their interaction with the kids. I also think that the director handles things professionally and enjoys what she does as well.
