I tried to contact this daycare for a week and no one answered or returned my voicemails. Today I spoke with one of the employees and in a 15 second conversation she told me there was a waiting list and my child wouldn't be able to be registered for a least a year. I explained to her I tried to call over several days and her response was "oh sorry," in a sarcastic and careless way. I really wish I would've known this. Their website is very dated and gives no information about waiting lists. I guess I was supposed to assume this. On top of that there is no easy way to find out this information but by trying to contact them via phone or email. I'm just extremely disappointed with my interaction with this daycare.

As with any organization, this is largely the product of great people who understand how to balance. Bloom is reflective of the efforts of the faculty and teachers who have continually put the children first. The head teacher (Ms. Barbara) is a very well respected educator throughout RI and the Northeast. Can't recommend her teachings enough. Since it's expansion in Fall 2012 as Bloom, those programs have expanded to include more after-hours events for parents to join their children in. They taught us as much as the kiddos. Bloom is fantastic and we miss it everyday. If you're lucky enough to have a little one under 6, you won't be disappointed.
