Bloomington Developmental Learning Center

Our son is happy at BDLC even though at almost a year old his separation anxiety is pretty bad right now! He still crawls off excitedly when I drop him off in the morning, which I'm so grateful for. His teachers are kind, calm, and responsible. And very experienced. The younger helpers in the room are sweethearts. Really no complaints. Oh--their outdoor space is also really nice, definitely the prettiest of any daycare we've seen in Bloomington. And they spend a lot of time out there.

We send our kids here after having sent our oldest to other centers in town. The continuity of care and lots of time spent outside have been great for our boys. Also, we really appreciate how well the director communicates with parents and works cooperatively with teachers. These things really set it apart from other centers we have been at and toured. It's hard to leave the kids during the day, but we know they are in great hands at BDLC!

I love this center! My daughter has been going here since she was 7 weeks old. Her teachers are phenomenal-they genuinely care about her and their "curriculum" (which is play-based) is great. They also take my older son as "drop in" when I need it and he loves his classroom too. Can't say enough good things about this place!

I am a current and long term parent of children at BDLC. My children have attended this amazing school since 2013. The teachers are amazing. They care so deeply for my children, even after my oldest graduated. The play based and child directed curriculum is wonderful for encouraging each child's individual self. I have also been impressed with the new executive director that was hired in 2017 and continues to work to improve the program. I would choose BDLC again if I had it all to do over again.

My 4 year old son has been attending BDLC for over a year since transferring from another daycare facility. The positive changes in every aspect of his behavior and development have been truly amazing. His teacher is absolutely wonderful, and he has grown so much in his short time there. We are so pleased with the care and instruction that he's receiving that we recently transferred our 10 month old daughter there as well. In the three weeks that she has been in attendance, she has already learned how to feed herself and has officially started crawling! As parents, I couldn't think of a more exceptional school to send my children to!
