Our Mission:
Here at Bloomba, it is our mission to provide a developmentally stimulating environment for the whole family and the community we live in. We do this through open play, creative classes, a healthy cafe and interactive family activities. We promote healthy and happy families and provide ways to bond, play and learn- together. We highly encourage parent participation in all classes and activities!

Here at Bloomba we have 3 main areas of focus:

• Health - We strive to promote physical, emotional, intellectual, creative, and social health.
• Creative Play - We offer a unique and custom play environment incorporating all the play fundamentals such as physical play, manipulative play, quiet play, pretend play, creative arts play, sensory play and team play.
• Family and Friendship - We promote fun and creative ways for families and friends to grow and develop together.

I’m a mom-- I can relate.
I am a happily married mother of two rambunctious toddlers who make me laugh, inspire me, and wear me out! Like many of you, I want the best for my children. When I moved to Fort Collins I was so impressed by all the outdoor activities, but when a crummy day rolled around I found us all getting a little stir crazy. I wanted somewhere clean, safe and fun to take my children. I also wanted a place where they could learn, grow and socialize, and maybe I could see some friendly adult faces! When I found a lack of indoor play options in the area, I decided to take matters into my own hands and create a truly unique and inspiring family-oriented play center. The concept behind Bloomba was born in summer 2006- fulfilling many of my hopes and desires as a mother. I hope you find Bloomba to be a fun, safe and enriching environment where you and your children can create memorable experiences together.

As a mother and former Preschool owner, I value the importance of children being able to engage in creative play...and that's what Bloomba is all about! From the moment I heard about Bloomba, I knew I HAD to be part of such a wonderful and enriching environment for the children of our community! Not only do I get to observe the children problem solve and make connections on their own; I also get the satisfaction of knowing that the parents can feel comfortable enough to sit back and relax while their children are at play!
I look forward to meeting new children, as well as their parents on a daily basis. Bloomba truly is a place for children to come to PLAY...EAT...and BLOOM! Hope to see you there!
