Some pictures of the children

Can she stand alone??

Our little Ashley was standing all day, until we wanted her mother to see her. After her mother (Dawn Papesh) went back to work Ashley decided to stand up and play.

Something New

Our little Ashley started sitting up on her own. Here is a video of her and her new move.

Enjoy!

Back to school

Childcare is getting back to a regular schedule. The children are all excited to be back with there friends.

Welcome back to all of the Little Bloomers returning families and a big welcome to all of the new families.

Welcome Infants

Our first week with the Infant & Toddler program went well. It took a little adjusting for the staff as well as the little ones. However we had a week full of smiles.
It is so nice to have the babies in the building, it brings about a special chatter from everyone that passes by.

Summer trip

Today Little Bloomers took a trip to Green Point Nature Center in Saginaw.
While there the children learned to fish, got to see a deer in the woods, and each child got to eat a worm (gummy worm).
What a perfect group of children. Everyone was able to cast the line into the water before we left. It turn out to be a really nice trip.











I turned my camera on late for this video. The children got to put all of the fish we caught into a kiddy pool. At the end we had to put them in a bucket and return them to the water.

NEW Infant / Toddler Room

Little bloomers is now licensed for Infants and Toddlers. We are now excepting children 2 weeks through 2 1/2 years in our NEW Infant / Toddler Room.

We invite you to come in and tour our new room, to see why we are so excited about the new addition to the Little Bloomers Program.

Enrollment packets are available in the main office.

Update

The room as come together well. We still need a couple highchairs, a few other little things and then we will be all set.
We have had our environmental Health inspection and it went well. We are waiting on our State of Michigan Licensing inspection and then I will be ready to take infants and toddlers.

I will have packets ready for families to pick up by July 20th.

Here are some pictures of our room.

The cribs have arrived!

We finally have cribs. Everyday it looks more like an infant and toddler room.

The excitement is building!

Work in progress

The Infant room is coming along. We have been getting a lot of donations. We are now starting to put the room together.
Our goal to have the room and all inspection ready to take infants by August 24th, is on track.
I will post more picture as we make improvements to the room.

Infant & Toddler Program

We would like to add an infant and young toddlers room to our Little Bloomer Programs. I have sent out a survey to the school families as well as a mailing to everyone with a Reese zip code.

I'm hoping to get enough responses back, showing a need for this new program. We will announce our decision by the first of June, 2009. If you are in need of childcare for any children ages 2 1/2 weeks to 2 1/2 years, please call or email us. We would be planning to open this new program by the end of August (Start of the school year.)
