The absolute BEST childcare experience -- truly part of our family…read more Our daughter was with Miss Lauryn for over two years, and I can honestly say there are not enough good things I could ever write about her or Blooming Blossoms Learning Center. Leaving was one of the hardest decisions we've ever made, and we only did so because we recently transitioned our daughter to preschool. It truly felt like leaving a piece of our heart behind. We began with Miss Lauryn at her PB location and loved her so much that we followed her through her relocation to Santee -- even though it's far from our home. That alone speaks to the depth of our trust in her. Her Santee facility is beautiful, clean, safe, thoughtfully designed, and located in a wonderful neighborhood. Our daughter became her very first student there, and we couldn't have been happier. From day one, Miss Lauryn created the safest, warmest, most nurturing environment a parent could ever hope for. Our daughter had only ever been cared for at home by a nanny, so the idea of sending her somewhere outside our home felt intimidating at first -- but she made the transition seamless. Her program is the perfect bridge between in-home care and a true school setting: loving, personal, and homey, yet structured with curriculum, routines, and so many opportunities for social and developmental growth. Our daughter absolutely THRIVED with her. She grew into an expressive, confident, funny, kind little girl with such a big personality, and Miss Lauryn and her wonderful assistants were a huge part of that. She is attentive, patient, loving, and genuinely treats each child as if they were her own. Her communication with parents is absolutely exceptional. She uses the ClassDojo app and posts photos and updates every day, so you always feel connected and reassured. She is incredibly responsive, understanding, and communicative -- which is especially comforting if you're a more cautious or anxious parent (like we were in the beginning). You truly feel informed, included, and at ease at all times. On top of all of that, her hours are amazing -- better than nearly anything else we found -- and she provides all food, snacks, and lunches, which is such a huge help for busy families. And her rates are extremely fair and competitive for the level of care, communication, and structure she provides. It truly doesn't get better than this. If you are looking for a safe, loving, clean, developmentally focused, and genuinely warm environment for your child, Blooming Blossoms is the very best decision you can make. We are forever grateful for the foundation she gave our daughter and the love she poured into her every single day. We cannot recommend Miss Lauryn and her program enough.

I can't speak highly enough for Lauryn and the entire Blooming Blossoms staff! Our 1-year-old…read moredaughter had never been to a daycare or school before and was very shy, so I was nervous to say goodbye to her. Lauryn made me and my daughter feel comfortable, safe, and nurtured. Lauryn kept me updated throughout the day and helped brainstorm ways to help my daughter adjust. Lauryn and her team have a stellar knowledge of child development and how to meet the needs of the kids. The low teacher-to-student ratio helped me feel extra comfortable. The staff clearly care deeply about the kids and families they serve, and this spreads to the community they create among the families :) Thanks Lauryn and Blooming Blossoms for everything you did for our daughter! They even hugely helped potty train our daughter before she transitioned to school full time - wow!

The teachers are so wonderful, and helped to get us over the hump of potty training to potty independence when we first started. When met with typical challenges of this age group, the teachers were great about taking time aside to offer advice, and sometimes just words of encouragement that parenting is hard and we are all in this together. I felt at ease every day dropping my son off here, I will miss waving goodbye to him on the playground as I drive away. :: tears:: thanks for the beautiful preschool memories, LPCC!

The staff truly pour into the children and you can tell there's such an amazing blend of care with education. They provide a classroom setting and an entire curriculum. The program is geared to prepare children for elementary school. There's a spacious play area for the children and the preschool is gated providing safety and peace of mind. My son came from a faith based daycare so having him in a preschool that was faith based was also very important to me. I plan to have him here until he graduates out at 5 years old. The school has not only cared for my son, but also for me. The welcoming nature is so special and I've felt such a warm embrace by not only staff but by parents too. La Teresa is an incredible director who leads a loving and brilliant staff. My son is learning, growing and thriving here and I am so grateful to LCPC for supporting and navigating this important stage in his life.

His academic and social skills are unlike I've seen with friends and family members children around the same age as my son. I have never had to remind my son to share, he just does it. The menus for breakfast, lunch and snack are fun AND extremely nutritional. During the summer months, the kiddos had field trips to the local parks. They worked hand and hand with my husband while I was deployed and were instrumental to our family during that time. Lisa and Lori are always communicative and open.

Under her leadership, this daycare is organized, calm, clean, and genuinely caring. Ana is present, responsive, and clearly sets a high standard. You feel it the second you walk in. Becca, the two's class teacher, is phenomenal. She's attentive, patient, and truly knows the kids. She keeps the app updated consistently with real details such as meals, naps, activities, photos.

Bonus points: Clean, well-run facility Nutritious food Calm, safe environment with lots of engagement This is not the daycare it once was, it's so much better.

The atmosphere is just happy and bright when you walk in. His teachers now are Ms. Vero and Ms. Kaylyn and they are the most amazing teachers! They have started helping us with potty training and are so excited to tell us during pick up that he went multiple times. My son doesn't even care that I drop him off anymore because as soon as he sees them he runs gives them a big hug. We have another baby that will be born in July and he will also get enrolled into the infant room. Highly recommend you visit the facility and meet the teachers. They are wonderful.
