Welcome to Blooming Prep
Blooming Prep is an independent nursery school for children ages 3 months to 5 years. Our year-round program combines exceptional care, a strong academic foundation, flexible scheduling, and enrichment opportunities in an environment where every child is known, valued, challenged, and celebrated. We created a place where children come to school excited to explore, discover, and connect, while guided by dedicated, nurturing educators and building a strong foundation for future success.
Blooming Path Curriculum™
Our Blooming Path Curriculum™ is informed by contemporary research in early childhood development and is inspired by Reggio Emilia and Montessori principles. We recognize that children learn best through meaningful relationships, purposeful play, exploration, inquiry, and hands-on experiences. Our educators balance child-led discovery with intentional teaching: observing closely, asking questions, documenting children’s learning, introducing new ideas, and extending learning through engaging experiences. The Blooming Path Curriculum™ brings research and practice together in a distinctive approach that cultivates confident, curious, independent thinkers who are ready to Think Beyond.
