Where The Money Goes

Bloom’s goal is to reserve half of our capacity for single parents and low-income families who otherwise could not afford quality early childhood learning programs.  Our Shirley Robinson Scholarship Fund was established to provide tuition assistance to community families in need. Since opening in 2000, Bloom has provided care for 1,090 children, 484 of whom received tuition assistance.

While the majority of financial assistance for Bloom’s children comes from our Shirley Robinson Scholarship Fund, we work hard every year to help qualified families find additional resources. Some of our children access financial assistance through the Child Care Assistance Program, the Minnesota State Department of Education and Interfaith Outreach.  In 2021, a total of 58 Bloom children, or 49% of our enrollment, received financial assistance or were teacher’s children; 51% of children were private pay.

Bloom is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization. All donations are fully tax deductible based on current tax laws.

DID YOU KNOW?

Minnesota is the 4th highest price state in the nation for childcare. The high cost of childcare is out of reach for families with entry level or low paying jobs. In Hennepin County, the median annual price of childcare for an infant is $20,733. Source: US Dept of Labor. It keeps single mothers (in particular) from working or going back to school to become qualified for a career path, thus limiting their opportunities for financial independence. Their children are at risk of entering kindergarten unprepared to succeed, which puts their futures in jeopardy. However the research is undeniable and has proven the link between children entering kindergarten ready to learn with the ability to have a successful future.  High quality early learning and care for children in poverty can prepare these children for school and beyond.

A passion to nurture each child, a mission to make it affordable.
