Bloomin' Preschools

Dear Families:

We appreciate your patience and understanding during this difficult time as we work to make decisions for our preschool programming. Governor Whitmer released the Safe Schools Roadmap last Tuesday, July 7th.  Our district is currently working on plans for K-12 instruction that align with the Governor’s requirements and our core values.  Some of these plans were presented to the school board Thursday, July 9th.  The plans developed for our K-12 instruction will help to drive our decisions for preschool. 

We want to reassure our families that we have our students safety and well-being at the forefront of our decision making.  To that end, next week we will release a survey specific for our preschool families to help guide us in our operational and instructional plans for preschool. Should we remain in Phase 4, the District is committed to opening Bloomin' Preschools in September.  We still have a great deal of work to do.  As you know, there are so many unanswered questions to consider during this planning process.

Please know, the first tuition payment will not be collected on July 15th and we will extend our cancellation due date to August 15th.  As soon as we have a final plan in place we will share with our families.  In the meantime, please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions (LGryglak@Bloomfield.org).

Stay well and safe,

Lisa Gryglak 

Supervisor

Bloomin' Preschools Curriculum

The choice you make regarding your child's early childhood education is among a parent's most important. It's never too early or too late to research your options. Fortunately, Bloomfield Hills Schools operates three Bloomin' Preschools in Oakland County.

Our programs are child-centered and use the Creative Curriculum approach to teaching. Students flourish in supportive, engaging environments. Teachers communicate regularly with families, and encourage enthusiasm for learning, the pride of accomplishment and the joy of discovery.

Both Conant and Lone Pine are fully-authorized International Baccalaureate (IB) Primary Years Programme (PYP) schools. The all-inclusive PYP is designed for students in grades Pre-K through 5. The Programme is based on inquiry and focuses on the total growth of the developing child, drawing on the research and best practices from a range of international schools. The PYP curriculum is developed to create relevant, engaging, challenging and significant work for young learners and its international focus addresses the needs of our diverse student population.

Bloomin’ Conant (ages 2 1/2 years to 5 years) is located at 4100 W. Quarton Road, Bloomfield Hills, MI 48302.

Bloomin’ Lone Pine (ages 6 weeks to 5 years) is located at 3100 Lone Pine Road, West Bloomfield, MI 48323.

Bloomin’ Fox Hills is a Visible Thinking School, purposely providing for deeper thinking and understanding. Visible Thinking is a framework and philosophy for our teachers and staff to use when creating inquiry-based learning opportunities that engage students in higher-level thinking skills.

Bloomin’ Fox Hills (ages 6 weeks to 6 years) is located at 1661 Hunters Ridge, Bloomfield Hills, MI 48304.
