OUR INFORMATION
Preschool Enrollment Process
Thank you for considering Little Bloom Academy! To maintain a smooth and respectful enrollment process, we ask that families follow the steps below carefully. This process helps us ensure that each family is well-informed, and that our time and resources are used effectively. If you need help at any step, please reach out to us at littlebloomacademy@gmail.com.
Step 1: Review Program Details
Please take time to read through our website and Parent Handbook in full before scheduling a tour. Make note of any questions you may have, and ensure our policies, philosophy, and schedule align with your family’s needs and expectations.
Step 2: Schedule an in Person Tour
Book in Person Tour
Click the "Book Tour" tab at the top right of our website and scroll to the bottom. Tours are offered on Saturdays and Sundays from 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM, and give you a chance to see the space and ask questions about tuition, policies, and daily routines.
Step 3: Placement Availability
-
If we have space available, your child may begin on the next available Monday once the enrollment packet, immunization records, and one full week’s tuition are received.
-
If no space is available, your child will be placed on our waitlist, and we will contact you as soon as a spot opens (typically during fall transitions or as families graduate).
Step 4: Submit Enrollment Packet & Fee
Families offered a spot must complete the full Enrollment Packet, which includes all licensing forms, and submit a non-refundable enrollment fee of $150 to secure the space. Incomplete paperwork will delay your child’s start date. Please do not submit paperwork unless you’ve been offered a confirmed spot.
Step 5: Set Up ProCare App
Once enrolled, you’ll receive an invitation to join our school through the ProCare app. This platform is used for daily communication, check-in/out, and updates. Each student may have up to two parent/guardian profiles. Download the app and confirm your account prior to your child’s first day.
Step 6: Prepare for First Day
On your child’s first day, please arrive with all required materials as outlined in the enrollment packet. This includes:
-
Completed hard copies of the enrollment packet and Licensing Forms
-
Immunization records
-
Remaining first month’s tuition (unless already paid)
-
All daily items (extra clothing, extra pair of shoes, water bottle, blanket, Diapers, Wipes, etc.) listed in the packet
Important Enrollment Policies

Tours are required before enrollment is considered.
