What People are Saying
This is what our parents feedback on our daycare service.
My family and I has been an extended family of First bloom family daycare. I have 2 children who both attended firstbloom. Naturally with your first born a mother is nervous to let go, but I did and I don't regret it. By the time I had my second child it was a no brainer of him going to firstbloom. My son was very comfortable. He loved the family so much especially Felix. My second son was very picky with food and they worked with him and gave him healthy choices. During my kids time at firstbloom they went on trips, learned the basics (abc's, 123,s, colors, shapes etc.) and most of all felt loved. I am truly grateful to have found childcare like this because its very hard to trust people with your children.

Read MoreThis place have helped me so much with my Daughter!!! One thing I regret.. I took long to take her to daycare. My Daughter have learn A lot, super ready for pre K thanks to this daycare. My daughter Danalise loves Mariela and the staff at Bryant.
Read MoreAs a parent one of my key priorities when looking for a daycare for my daughter is making sure that she is in a comfortable and positive environment. When my daughter and I went to visit we were introduced to all the kids and I got to meet with the staff as well. I loved the familial feel that the daycare has between the kids and the staff and if my daughter was going to spend most of her time here, I wanted her to be as comfortable as possible so that she could feel free to be herself. In addition, I love the fact that the owner takes time to plan trips outside of the daycare. Unfortunately, because of my work schedule and her being an only child it's hard to find time to take her on fun trips. So the field trips are a major plus for me. My daughter has been attending First Bloom for about a year now and she absolutely loves it!

Read MoreWhen my wife and I were searching for a child care provider one of our close acquaintances had recommended we check out first bloom for our 4 year old. On my first visit I was pleased to see that the day care was clean, organized, and staff was very attentive. Mariela the owner is a very helpful and professional individual and made our son feel welcomed and even allowed him to participate in a group activity the other kids were currently doing. I also liked the fact that first bloom is located on the ground level for obvious safety reasons. Mariela really keeps her word about facilitating child care for you because not only is her check in quick and easy and done through an ipad (as a tech geek i loved this feature :] ) but also when i first mentioned to her that we were new to the bronx and were still learning our way around she offered us her pick up and drop up service which she her self personally picked up and dropped off our son. It's been a year now since we made the decision of choosing First bloom day care and I can safely say I do not regret it one bit!
Read MoreI can't say enough good things about First Bloom Family Daycare The staff and owners provide a safe, clean and loving environment for the kids. I have my son attending for over two years now and this is his second family. He has been potty trained, educated, and even spoiled when he needed it. This place is full of attention, love, learning and imagination all in one roof. Highly recommended!!
Read MoreIt was very difficult for me to finda day care in the Bronx that can provide the extra curricular activities I wanted for my son, even though he was only 1 year when he started at First Bloom Group Family Day Care. The staff was very flexible with their hours, catered to my son's needs and was a pleasure to worh with. It was apparent that my son was taken well care of considering how much he loved every staff and learned so much. The owner has great communication and works with families and their needs. Thank you so much for providing an amazing care and the start of Xavier's education, it is absolutely appreciated!!
Read MoreLove it thank God I found this place. They take good care of my baby girl. They are like family to us. This is not a regular child care. It is more like having your child in school already. They learn a lot and have fun all day long.
Read MoreThe best place ever. Well organized and all staff are friendly and Mariela is always on top of everything. My Daughter went and was ready for school and after attending school I use her to pick up my child was always picked up on time.
Read MoreMy daughters first day went great! She came home very excited and couldn't stop speaking about all the wonderful things she did at day care. She even told me she's learning sign language (she is only 3 years old) and she has many new friends! She's already dying to go back tomorrow for her second day and she's overly excited. The staff is professional and the place is very organized & clean! Would recommend 1000%

Our Approach to Education
At First Bloom Daycare, we embrace a holistic approach to early childhood education that nurtures the whole child. Our curriculum is thoughtfully designed to stimulate curiosity, promote social-emotional development, and lay the foundation for academic success. We believe in hands-on, experiential learning experiences that engage children’s senses and spark their natural curiosity. Through play-based activities, interactive lessons, and exploration of the world around them, children develop essential skills such as problem-solving, critical thinking, and collaboration.
Our qualified educators create a supportive and inclusive learning environment where children feel empowered to express themselves, take risks, and discover their unique talents and interests. We value individualized instruction and tailor our approach to meet the diverse needs and learning styles of each child. Furthermore, we understand the importance of early literacy and numeracy skills, and integrate age-appropriate activities and materials to foster a love of learning from an early age. By nurturing a positive attitude towards education and providing a solid foundation for future learning, we empower children to reach their full potential and become lifelong learners.
