Play. Learn. Grow.

About Us

Blossoms is an in-home day care which was started in 2003. We have a small group of children so that each child can benefit from personal interaction with both the teachers and other children. We are conveniently located across the street from Astoria Park and reside within a private home. The only residents of our home are immediate family. There are no renters, there is no landlord. This ensures that your children will always be around trusted adults. Our teachers have over 60 years of combined experience in both traditional and Montessori systems.

What Parents Think

It is hard to express in words how fortunate we feel to have found such a wonderful place for our girls. Both of our girls attended Blossoms for over two years and were cared for with love and patience. Teachers at Blossoms approach each child with individual attention and develop them at their own pace. I appreciate the motherly love my children received from Marlene and Angele and all the advice and encouragement they have shared with us. We could have not wished for a better care for our children.
