Our Program
At First Bloom Group Family Daycare, we offer a warm, culturally inclusive childcare program in the Bronx designed to support the growth of infants, toddlers, and preschoolers. We proudly serve African American, Hispanic, and multicultural families, providing high-quality early education for all income levels in a nurturing, community-centered environment.
Our program blends Montessori principles, Social-Emotional Learning (SEL), Creative Curriculum, and play-based learning to build independence, emotional confidence, and creativity. Children enjoy hands-on activities, interactive learning, STEM exploration, and structured and free play tailored to their developmental needs. With experienced, Montessori-trained staff and mixed-age group experiences, we create a supportive space where every child can learn, thrive, and feel a strong sense of belonging.
We partner with parents through regular communication, developmental updates, and conferences to ensure you stay connected to your child’s progress. Explore our programs to see how First Bloom helps your little one grow with joy, confidence, and curiosity.
Autism & Early Intervention Support at First Bloom
At First Bloom Group Family Daycare, we provide an inclusive and nurturing environment for young children who may show early signs of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) or receive ABA or Early Intervention services. We collaborate with licensed therapists, maintain structured routines, use visual supports, and encourage social interaction to help every child feel supported and included. While we do not provide ABA therapy directly, we welcome approved providers and work closely with families to reinforce communication and developmental goals throughout the day. If you’re noticing differences in your child’s communication, play, or social skills, or if you want to learn more.
