Music Classes
Students participate in twice-weekly music lessons led by our Little Blooms founder and heart of our community, Marie Segura.
In these classes, children get to explore the enchanting world of melodies, rhythms, and a variety of musical instruments. Marie's expertise and passion bring a unique blend of educational and artistic experiences to our little ones.
Research has shown that early exposure to music enhances cognitive skills, boosts language development, and fosters social and emotional growth. These classes provide a fun and enriching experience that sparks creativity and imagination, while also teaching important skills such as cooperation and teamwork.

Dance Class
For our students aged 2 and older, we offer dance lessons on a weekly basis. These vibrant and dynamic dance classes are a perfect blend of fun and skill-building for your little ones.
Throughout the season, our young dancers are taught a variety of dance styles, fostering their creativity, coordination, and self-expression. The highlight of our program is the thrilling performance that culminates the children's learning. Parents eagerly await these showcases, where the children's newfound dance skills take center stage.
These performances not only allow the kids to shine but also provide a special opportunity for parents to witness their child's growth and development firsthand.

Outdoor Learning
Weather permitting, every child enjoys daily outdoor play in our covered, newly renovated playground. Being outdoors offers numerous benefits for children. It promotes physical activity, helping them stay healthy and improving their motor skills. It also encourages curiosity and a connection with nature.
During the summer, our "Splash Fridays" are an all time favorite of Little Blooms students, allowing them to cool off and have fun. Outdoor play and Splash Fridays ensure that your child gets exercise, fresh air, and valuable experiences that promote their physical and mental well-being.

Jump Bunch
In addition to our regular outdoor activities, we're pleased to offer our optional physical education program through JumpBunch. JumpBunch is a fantastic opportunity for children to engage in structured sports and fitness activities, providing a more specialized approach to physical development. Beyond outdoor play, JumpBunch introduces kids to various sports and physical activities, fostering skills, teamwork, and a love for movement. This early exposure can be particularly beneficial as they grow and consider signing up for other sports in school or community programs, making JumpBunch a great way to prepare for a lifetime of physical activity and sports exploration.

Language Immersion
In our diverse and international community, we're proud to offer Spanish language immersion for our children. Many of our kids already come from multicultural backgrounds, speaking multiple languages, and Little Blooms provides them with the unique opportunity to develop their Spanish language skills. Our many Spanish-speaking teachers plays a pivotal role in helping our students graduate from Little Blooms with a strong foundation in Spanish.
Language immersion is beneficial for education and development at all ages. It not only enhances language proficiency but also offers cognitive advantages, such as improved problem-solving skills, heightened creativity, and enhanced multicultural awareness. At Little Blooms, we recognize the lifelong benefits of language immersion, making it an essential part of our educational approach for children of all backgrounds and ages.
