What are your vacation days and holidays?

Closures include, but are not limited to, a two week winter and summer break and national holidays. Professional development days and beautification days. You will be notified of any closure 30 days in advance. Please be advised that tuition fees remain the same during these periods.

Are meals provided?

Yes! We serve two snacks and a lunch daily. You are also welcome to bring food, labeled water bottles from home. If you decide to bring food from home, we do ask that you follow our nutrition guidelines listed in our parent handbook.

Can I pick my child up early?

You are within your rights as a parent to pick your child up at any time. We do ask for advance notice of your early pickup plan so that teachers can get your child ready to go with minimal disruption to the rest of the group.

What are your requirements for parental involvement?

We ask that each family volunteer a minimum of 10 hours. You are welcome to use your hours during parent read along, beautification days, education speakers and more. We are a growing community and parent support is essential.

How do you deal with conflict and challenging behaviors?

Bloomington supports conflict resolution by empowering children to resolve their own conflicts. We prioritize conflict resolution by supporting children to manage their own conflicts. Our objective is to assist children in recognizing and expressing their thoughts and emotions appropriately, while also brainstorming solutions with the help of teachers. By teaching conflict resolution abilities, we help children navigate social dynamics and foster positive relationships with their peers.

My child has special needs, can they attend Bloomington?

At Bloomington, we appreciate and embrace diversity, especially when it comes to our young ones. We are dedicated to providing the utmost care for children with special needs and have a specialist to work alongside families. While there may be situations where we are unable to provide support within our area of expertise, we will always offer professional recommendations and collaborate with the family to make the best decision for the child.

Do you offer tuition assistance?

Yes. At our institution, we firmly believe that every child deserves access to high-quality education, regardless of their financial situation. That's why we offer financial assistance to families in need. Unfortunately, the amount of assistance we can provide is dependent on the availability of funds. If you're interested in applying for tuition assistance, please reach out to the admissions office to request an application.

Do I have to attend an orientation/tour before applying?

Bloomington requires that all custodial parents attend both the orientation and the Intake Interview. The purpose is for you and your child to get acquainted with us at your comfort level and gain the trust needed for open communication.

What are your application and registration fees?

Application fee :$65
Registration fee: $75
All fees, tuition and donations are non-refundable.

How do parents receive information?

We communicate with parents in several ways, including:

  •   the school blog
  •   email correspondence
  •   monthly classroom and community newsletters
  •   parent meetings with teachers and Administration
  •   parent-teacher conferences
  •   individual parent meetings (as needed)
  •   meetings with volunteers about programs and events
  •   informal scheduled social gatherings
  •   phone messages
  •   weekly documentation

 While written communication is an important link between teachers and parents, they should not take the place of direct and personal exchange. Written communication is best used to identify issues and report progress; follow-up phone calls or meetings to resolve issues and clarify meaning are often very helpful.

What safety and security measures do you have in place?

The safety, success and well being of our students are our highest priority, and so we have multiple security measures in place. Some of these measures include, but are not limited to:

  • Coded entry for all entrances, with the codes changed randomly throughout the school year.
  • Anyone other than a parent who is authorized to pick up a child must be added to the child’s official pick up list in writing in the office, and should be prepared to show ID upon pick up.
  • A child must remain under the supervision of a teacher or staff member at all times once signed in to school.
  • Regularly scheduled earthquake and fire drills throughout the school year.
  • A thorough and extensive crisis management plan.
