Welcome to Little Bloomers Childcare!
Little Bloomers is excited to announce that we will now be offering extended, weekend and part-time care. Our full-day program is now open from 7:00am-8pm and on Saturday and Sunday from 7:00am-8pm! We believe that all families should have quality early childhood education regardless of their work schedule. So, we are here to provide your child with the greatest learning atmosphere possible while also helping your family by accommodating you.
Our licensed childcare is located in beautiful Downtown Brampton, happily providing care for children ages 18 months - 6 years old! With Gage Park less than a 10 minute walk away, and the convenience of the GO station just the same, we are sure to be a great fit for your family. We strive hard when it comes to raising the bar for providing high-quality childcare, where children can be exposed to a variety of art forms, languages and athletics for both their personal enjoyment and in order to bring out their natural abilities and talents. These include Spanish, French, yoga, physical education, music and dance. We are a fast-paced and dedicated team that works together to nurture and support children so that we may help to create happy, healthy children. Little Bloomers implements a high scope curriculum that encourages learning and development through a variety of mediums and teaching styles while being fun for kids. We always endeavour to go the extra mile for being one of the most preferred daycares in Brampton.

ABOUT LITTLE BLOOMERS
Our Program & Philosophy
At Little Bloomers Child Care Centre our high scope curriculum and play-based learning is planned based on the children’s observations and interest. What happens in each program is motivated by what children learn or are showing an interest in at any given time, our educators work with the children to grow their interest and learning about the theme or topic. Materials, props and activities are introduced to enhance these learning experiences providing opportunities for learning and development for tomorrow’s future. Little Bloomers strives to implement flexibility in our programming so that each child can reach their full potential by understanding their capabilities and curiosities. They can explore new materials and discover new concepts, all while learning and emerging at their own pace. We believe that all children are unique; possessing a variety of needs and interests. Children are encouraged to explore this individuality at Little Bloomers, but at the same time learn to be a part of a big community and family.
Our subsidized child care follows the philosophy and practices of both high scope curriculum, as well as Play-based learning. High scope learning places emphasis on the importance of providing children with a solid foundation of language and cognitive skills, while play-based learning encourages creativity and imagination by giving children the opportunity to express themselves freely and plan programming based on the children’s interests. We implement both to ensure that the children under our care are growing strong, happy and healthy together.

Communication & Technology
At Little Bloomers we understand the importance of documenting your child’s learning as well as communicating with parents. Here at Little Bloomers we use the HiMama Platform to answer the many questions that parents may have, such as
-
How is my child?
-
Did she eat her lunch?
-
Did she have her nap this afternoon?
-
Did I leave enough diapers?
-
Is she getting along with the other kids today?
-
What mood will she be in when I pick her up?
-
Is he still as upset as when I dropped him off?
-
I wonder what he’s learning about today?
-
Is he happy today?
Each classroom is equipped with tablets giving the educators the ability to document children’s milestones right then and there, and then be able to share those exciting moments with you. Parents also receive a daily report outlining all the standard things about their child that occurred in the day. So when you have a chance to unwind at the end of a busy day, you have the opportunity to see this report at your convenience, and not miss a thing!
