Little Bloomers:
Gather & Grow
A gentle introduction to circle time and pre-school routines!
Little Bloomers: Gather & Grow
Ages 2-4 | Preschool Readiness Circle
Getting ready for preschool? Join us for Little Bloomers: Gather & Grow, a weekly parent-and-child circle time designed to help young children become more comfortable participating in group activities and following simple classroom routines.
Each session begins with a Waldorf-inspired morning verse, followed by familiar circle time activities including calendar, weather, songs, and movement. We'll also enjoy a group story time followed by a simple Montessori-inspired activity or craft. Children will have opportunities to practice listening, taking turns, following directions, and participating alongside their peers in a welcoming, low-pressure environment.
Our circle time follows a familiar routine each week, with different stories and activities to keep things interesting. Children are welcome to participate at their own pace as they build confidence with the preschool experience.
When: Tuesdays at 10:30am
Duration: Approximately 40 minutes
Ages: 2–4 years
Pricing: $18 first child | $11 siblings
Open Play Included!
Families are welcome to arrive as early as 10am to enjoy Open Play before circle begins, and children can return to playing once our group activities are finished.
No multi-week commitment required! Register for individual sessions as often as you'd like. While each class stands on its own, attending regularly can help children become more familiar with the routines and increasingly comfortable participating in a group.
Parent & Caregiver Participation
A parent or caregiver must remain inside Bloom throughout the session, but they are welcome to sit in our café area rather than participate directly in the circle. If your child needs additional support or experiences separation anxiety, please stay with them in the circle until they feel comfortable.
Parents and caregivers are also welcome to observe and use our circle time routines as inspiration for creating their own morning circles at home.
This is not a drop-off program. Parents and caregivers remain responsible for supervising their children throughout their visit.
Advance registration is required. Please register by the evening before your desired session. Circle time will only be held on weeks with advance registrations. Walk-ins are not guaranteed.
