The staff is caring, talented, professional, and flat out rock when it comes to education. Lia and her fine team keep the children busy, fed well, challenged, and most importantly at ease. A comfortable child has the brain radar in full motion picking up every little life detail. I am convinced that there is no better pre-school in Bloomington/Monroe County. I suspect that my daughter will be so advanced in her learning that adjusting to 1st grade will be a breeze.

Hi all - wanted to share for parents looking for care. From our experience, stay away from…read moreKinderCare on Sare road. If it works, great. But just a word of warning. We did the 2 week drop-in at KinderCare over this holiday break, and our 17 month old has had two incidents, back to back days, where he hit his head. The first time he "slipped" out of their lap, while being rocked to sleep (??). We got told at pick up. No messages or calls. The second, they put him on a bench "next to the teacher" and he fell off. We did get a message about this one. We will never be going back and I worry about their ability to care for young children. Felt the need to share for others.

I love the life lessons and importance of taking care of self and others she learns daily and brings home with her.

This review is specifically for kindergarten, the year our child attended St. Mark's. They offer…read morecare for very young children through kindergarten. We were unsure how our child would handle a full day kindergarten, and this was an alternative that fit in our budget. The short review is that the kindergarten program is FANTASTIC. Parental involvement is encouraged, and was very enriching. The playground has quite a few choices for play, and kids can go at their own pace. The staff were all friendly, informative, and helpful at all times. The culture is positive and uplifting, and sometimes some parents will stay after school so their kids can get in some more play time. It's a great way to get to know other parents and families as well as letting your kid make a new best friend. Academically, they check all of the boxes. They offer play based learning, and did a great job of teaching basic math skills, writing, and reading. Our kid just absolutely loved reading as soon as they started working on that more. I was very hesitant going in, but they won me over very quickly. This is a fantastic program, and one worth considering if you would prefer to have your child in a half day program. It's not uncommon for kids to attend here for several years starting from pre-school from what I could tell. If you are even considering a program like this, please contact them. The staff is helpful, they offer tours, and they absolutely love the kids.

We have been at BDLC for several months now and have loved it! Our 18 month old (who has the worst…read morekind of stranger danger instincts) absolutely loves his teachers and always comes home clean and happy. The teachers keep open communication with us, and always inform us if anything seems out of the ordinary about his behavior --- this has always proceeded mild sickness, so it was nice having the head's up! I also really appreciate the vegetarian menu provided for the kids. It has a wide variety of foods that include plenty of protein sources, fresh fruits/veggies, and grains. We're not vegetarian at home, so I am glad that he is exposed to this approach to food at school. He's also healthier than ever and growing perfectly according to our pediatrician, so it's obvious he's getting all the nutrition he needs :) Another thing I am particularly impressed with is the lesson plans provided by the teachers each month. They look creative and fun, but the best part is that I can tell that my kiddo actually learns from their activities! He always comes home having learned new skills, words, and games - he's even trying to count already! As much as I wish I could be at home 24/7 teaching him all these things, I am so comforted to know that he is in good hands at BDLC.

His…read moreteachers are calm and responsible and their outdoor space is really idyllic, the nicest outdoor space I've seen at a daycare in Bloomington. Even though our son is at the age where separation anxiety is strong, he has been happy there, and we are grateful for that. Our previous daycare experience was with a kind of "boutique" place (very expensive), and they were great, however we personally appreciate that at BDLC they're a little more relaxed--a little more of a family vibe. We also like the other families in the room and it was so cute how they had an open house for all of us to get to meet each other since our kids will be growing up together.

The owners and teachers really care about child development, and it shows in the way they interact with the kids. They also focus on serving a wide variety of nutritious and mostly organic food. It is a daycare I trust and whose mission I believe in. They have also created a strong community of parents, teachers, and kids with picnics, fundraisers, a garage sale, and the like. The location just north of downtown is really convenient. I highly recommend them.
