About the Provider
Established in 2000, Bloom Early Learning & Child Care (formerly Kids’ Care Connection) is an accredited, award-winning, non-profit early learning center with a special mission to make the highest quality childcare, programs and curriculum (and fun!) accessible to the entire community.
AboutBloom
Serving children from 6 weeks to age 5 and their families.
Nurturing, safe, friendly and family-like environment.
Delicious and nutritional food program.
Well-educated, dedicated staff with a passion for children and teaching.
Values-based programs and excellent curriculum with stellar learning and social outcomes that exceed state standards.
Committed to community through scholarship and financial aid.

Most parents must rely on childcare on a daily basis, and leaving your child with someone else is a necessary but often difficult decision. For many single parents and low-income families meeting the cost of trustworthy childcare is simply impossible. These children are at risk of entering school unprepared to succeed.
Bloom consists of a unique blend of private-pay and scholarship families. This arrangement fosters a diverse mix of kids and an opportunity to strengthen our community as a whole.
community-funded scholarship program 50% of enrollment spots dedicated to families needing financial assistance.
Since 2000, Bloom has provided care and learning for over 300 children. More than 150 of those children received financial assistance, totaling over $1 million in scholarships.
Bloom is non-profit, a 501(c)3 organization, and is partially supported by individuals, businesses, and other organizations through gifts for our scholarships and with volunteer work. We also partner with Interfaith Outreach Community Partners (IOCP), Caring for Kids Initiative (CfKI), the Wayzata School District and government agencies to help empower families who are struggling financially and help them achieve self-reliance and independence.
