Bloom Wondergarden is a Reggio Emilia & Waldorf inspired, home-based educational community. We are progressive, inclusive, nature-focused, and play-based. Founded by Sasha Hotaling & Mandy Oates, both child development and education experts, Bloom blends the best from all ECE philosophies.
Bloom honors the art and science of nurturing and educating young hearts, minds and bodies - equally.
Together we read, play, eat, clean, and sing. We solve playtime conflicts with intention. We use natural products and create little/no waste.
We create a warm, welcoming, safe space where children can learn, try new things, fail, try again, succeed, and master a range of critical life skills that traditional programs often overlook.
Our students see how hard work and patience pay off. How kindness is returned. And how everyone on this earth is of equal value. :)
Both Reggio & Waldorf approaches foster social emotional wellness, mindful decision making, management of emotions, and a sense of belonging.
We accept children ages 3-6 and are open from 9:30 - 2:30 Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday. We are accepting applications from new families at all times!

Thanks for visiting and we look forward to meeting you and your family! - Sasha & Mandy
