Our Mission, Community & Educational Approach
At First Bloom Daycare in the Bronx, our mission is to nurture every child’s unique potential through compassionate care, respect, and a warm, family-centered environment. We proudly serve African American, Hispanic, and multicultural families of all income levels, offering an inclusive space where infants, toddlers, and preschoolers feel safe, valued, and supported.
Our holistic, play-based educational approach blends Montessori principles, Social-Emotional Learning, and hands-on exploration to build independence, confidence, early literacy, problem-solving, and social skills.
With individualized attention, culturally responsive practices, and a commitment to welcoming children of all abilities and backgrounds, we empower each child to grow, thrive, and believe in their “I can” potential—today and for the future.

Child-Centric Approach: We prioritize the well-being, individuality, and developmental needs of each child, fostering a nurturing environment where they can thrive.
Safety and Security: We are unwavering in our commitment to providing a secure space where children feel protected, fostering a sense of trust and well-being.
Intentional Learning: We create purposeful learning experiences, recognizing and embracing the natural curiosity and potential within each child to promote holistic growth.
Home-Like Atmosphere: We strive to make First Bloom Daycare an extension of each child’s home, where they feel a sense of comfort, warmth, and belonging.

Beautiful daycare, my daughter loves it there. Very hands on, informative, creative, punctual, respectful, and great communication with the kids and parents. I get my day updates and pictures of how my daughter spent her day. The joy and smile on her face when I pick her up says it all. I would recommend at the drop of a dime.

I love this place my daughter went when she was a baby and now my son is going here. They are very caring and involved in the development of the children. I wouldn’t send my child to anyone but first bloom.Posted on Caroline ThompsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My child has been attending this daycare since February of 2022 and in that time I’ve been more than satisfied. I’m watching my child learn and grow every day because of the care and education she receives from this daycare. I highly recommend.Posted on Michael PustilnikTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had scheduled a tour with First Bloom for 11:00 AM today. They called me less than 90 minutes before the tour to tell me that they didn't have a slot available for drop in care, and that they only had a slot available for weekly care. I told them that I would like to go ahead with the tour, and I would discuss options with my wife afterwards. First Bloom responded that this was not okay and that she was cancelling my scheduled tour! I consider this behavior to be quite unprofessional. In response to First Bloom's reply to my review: This response is a totally unjustified. I was not disrespectful, and I was not disdainful. To call and cancel a scheduled tour barely an hour before, and for no good reason is disrespectful.Posted on Barbara MurphyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
