Our Guiding Philosophy & Principles
Early childhood experiences are a fundamental element in the development and growth of the child. Our philosophy incorporates quality care that emphasizes the principles of play and exploration. We provide a safe, warm, fun, loving environment that promotes the positive development of the child’s physical, social, intellectual, creative, and emotional aspects.
As a Co-operative Childcare Centre, Blooming places an emphasis on positive relationship building and partnerships within the community. We actively seek out partnerships members within the broader ethnocultural community as well as within the educational community and look to deepen and broaden all partnerships.

Provision for a variety of experiences
We attempt to introduce our children to the diversity of normal human experience by providing a full and varied program. Further, we encourage the children to sample as many things (including food) as we can offer.

Encouragement of open-mindedness and respect for others
We encourage our children to appreciate and respect the diverse nature of humanity. We encourage children to combine individual expression with an awareness of, and respect for, the needs and concerns of others.
