About Blooming Buddies

Ashley began Blooming Buddies as an online space during the pandemic. She realized the need for community was even more important during this time. Parents had reached out to her to teach their children and Blooming Buddies began. 

During the summer of 2023, Ashley decided it was time to take the business from online to in-person. She thought about her long-time friend Katie and her love for early childhood education. Ashley and Katie remained friends since childhood and have had many conversations about their passion for education.  This is when Blooming Buddies Bloomed!

Blooming Buddies is a gathering place for families. We believe that children learn best with their caregivers and through play!

We've designed a space where children can learn through hands-on exploration and sensory play. Parents are welcome to join in or sit back with a cup of coffee, socialize, or work in our work lab.  At Blooming Buddies, families can have it all!

Two teachers teamed up to create the perfect play space, enrichment center, and community.  We believe that play is important!  Children make sense of the world through play.  "Play is our favorite way of learning."  Dianne Ackerman

Modern-day parenthood has some parents struggling with the work-life balance.  We feel torn between our different roles.

Blooming Buddies is designed with the family in mind.  Whether it be mom, dad, grandma, or grandpa...we've got you covered!  We know, firsthand that it truly takes a village!

However, you decide to join us, we welcome you with open arms...and a strong cup of coffee! Let Blooming Buddies be your village!
