Bloom - Chino Hills, California

Quynh Tan

Finding Bloom, along with Miss Angela and Miss Jenn, has been an exceptional blessing for us. From the moment I walked through Bloom's doors, I knew it was the right place for my daughter. Miss. Angela treats us with the utmost respect, addressing all of my daughter's questions, and she comes home excited to attend school the next day, without any tears or worries. My daughter began attending Bloom when she was 3 years and 6 months old. At that time, she was not yet able to write, use scissors, perform basic calculations, or understand how to be a good friend. Now, after a year, she has shown remarkable growth in all these areas.

Each month at Bloom focuses on a different learning theme, allowing my daughter to gain knowledge beyond the basics of letters and numbers. She has explored diverse topics such as the natural world, animal life, planets, her own country, tree planting, currency recognition, climate, and much more. Importantly, she also learns and practices essential life skills daily--such as kindness, caring, respect, gratitude, honesty, enthusiasm, forgiveness, sharing, friendship, and self-love.

Miss. Angela and Miss. Jenn excel in creating an environment where every day at school is a joy for my daughter. She smiles frequently, expresses her thoughts and feelings openly, and isn't afraid to ask for help when needed. It's heartwarming to see my daughter and her classmates support and care for one another, hugging each other each day when she comes home from school. This reassures us that we made the right choice for her education.

As Miss. Angela often says to all the kids that, instead of saying "I can't do it," the focus is on "I can't do it... yet." This approach encourages perseverance and the belief that abilities can grow with effort and practice. Although we as parents sometimes find the homework challenging for her age, seeing our daughter's enthusiasm and progress makes us proud and happy. We understand that some might question whether a 3-4-year-old should be involved in structured learning and homework. However, we see that the 3-hour school day makes my daughter happy, and the 10 minutes of homework engages her mind. The rest of her time is spent being playful and creative. We believe that children can surprise us with their abilities, and our role is to support and encourage them to face challenges positively, not to limit their learning experiences.

The classroom is consistently clean, tidy, and bright. It is equipped with numerous educational toys that allow my daughter to play and learn simultaneously. Miss Angela thoughtfully prepares small gifts for the children in line with each learning theme. Additionally, she maintains a collection of birthday presents for each child and selects organic, non-allergenic treats for all students. We cannot adequately express the depth of her dedication and affection for her students. My daughter frequently tells us that she never wants to leave Bloom and wishes to stay there forever with Miss Angela and Miss Jenn as her teachers. Miss Angela and Miss Jenn, while we are uncertain if we could find another school like Bloom, we believe Bloom is the best, and we are profoundly grateful to you. Thank you so much from deep down of our hearts.

It is very hard to put into words the impact that Bloom, Ms. Angela, and Ms. Jenn had on our son, but will do my best in this review.

When we found Bloom and we met with Ms. Angela, she gave us a tour and explained her philosophy, which seemed to line up perfectly with what we were looking for. She allowed him to explore everything there and answered all of HIS questions and not just ours. That’s when we knew it would be a great fit.

The first few months were a rollercoaster for him. Our son is naturally curious, has a lot of energy, and a very active imagination. Some of those traits don’t translate well in a classroom, especially with other 4-5 year olds who feed off each other’s energy. He had a mix of good days and some challenging ones as well, but Ms. Angela and Ms. Jenn never gave up on him and were always so supportive and positive with him. It not only helped shape his behavior in the classroom, but they also worked with us to ensure that he was getting consistent direction both at home and in school, which made a world of difference in his growth. On top of that, the monthly themes have done a wonderful job of keeping him engaged in learning. He would come home every day with a new fact about the ocean, space, animals, you name it.

Our son has many food allergies that often causes him to not be able to participate in special occasions like Valentines Day or Halloween. Ms. Angela would always go out of her way to personally find treats for him that were allergy friendly. She would always make sure that he felt included and also kept us well informed. Being a parent of a child with allergies can be extremely stressful, but outside of our immediate family, there is no one we felt safer having our son with than Ms. Angela.

Fast forward to now, he is getting ready to start Kindergarten and we feel that he is not only prepared, but in a position to excel. His reading, writing and math skills are far ahead of where they need to be. We have made so many friends at Bloom, both the students and their families really embrace and support each other, which has been a great feeling.

My daughter went here and I must say Miss Angela and Miss Jen are AMAZING teachers. They are warm, loving, kind, and overall the best first preschool experience for my daughter. You can really tell the difference when a teacher truly loves what they do and that is 100% Miss Angela and Miss Jen. The center is so clean, bright, and creative and they take great measure in engaging the kids in learning. My daughter learned so much here and most of all she loved coming! If they offered kindergarten we would be here in a heartbeat!

5 of my 8 grand children either have graduated or are currently enrolled in this terrific program. They all love the teachers, Miss Angela and Miss Jenn. My grandchildren range in age from 12 years old to 4 years old. My other 3 grand children live too far to attend this excellent program.

My kids both attended this preschool when they were located in Walnut. They just relocated to Chino Hills and the new location is so beautiful and clean! The teachers here are the best in my opinion. My children look back on their experience at this school and have such great memories and also have a wonderful foundation for their education. Learning can be fun and these teachers are gifted at sharing the excitement of learning with children. If you are lucky enough to get a spot for your child you will not regret it. It will likely be one of the best decisions for your child's education.
