Now Enrolling - Ages 2 & Up

Here at Bayou & Bloom it is our mission to nurture the whole child as they learn and grow during their early years from the smallest sprout to the most beautiful bloom. We incorporate multiple teaching philosophies with one shared goal: joyful, meaningful childhoods. By pulling from the best of philosophies such as Waldorf, Reggio Emilia, and Montessori, we create a unique learning environment you won't find elsewhere. We believe that there is no singular way to teach or learn, but rather view education as an opportunity to honor childhood with warmth and wonder. By focusing on our whole-child approach, we are able to nurture each child's physical, emotional, social, and cognitive development. We are dedicated to providing personalized care for each learner by keeping student-to-teacher ratios low, giving us the ability to keep the comfort of each child at the forefront of their educational experience. At Bayou & Bloom, our calm and joyful environment helps children feel supported, connected, and confident as they grow. 

Our focus:

• Learning through imagination, connection with nature, and hands-on play.
• Viewing children as capable learners who are driven by curiosity
• Fostering independence, confidence, and giving children real world tools to succeed
• Empowering children to be active participants in their own learning journeys by allowing them to be involved in planning and making choices based on abilities, energy levels, and interests.

Our Classes: 

• Three & four year old classes are held Mon/ Wed/ Fri from 8:30 am to 12:30 pm. Learners will need to bring a snack, a lunch, and a spill-proof water bottle each day. Socks must be worn at all times, we are a shoe-free facility indoors.
