“I accidentally started childcare. In 2016 my sister was going through a divorce and needed childcare, at that time I was taking a break from working in property management because I just had my 3rd child. I began taking childcare classes to help my sister out with her children, and then became a child care aid at LBCC for their parent classes. Then I was asked if I was a licensed provider. I did not know at that time that this was my next career move. I am happy to serve my community and to see the little one’s growth in a nurturing and safe environment. “ - Blanca Morgan, Awesome Blossom 🌸

About our program

We have two locations in SE. Albany OR

Mini Blossoms was created as an infant and toddler childcare center separate from our preschool center, Awesome Blossom. We participate in self-sufficiency programs and support all family structures. Children’s development is observed and assessed, and their growth is documented. Families are guided and referred to additional services such as health clinics, early intervention, or any other local community entity for further assistance when needed.

“We believe that every child deserves a nurturing and stimulating environment where they can thrive and grow. At Awesome Blossom Child Care and Mini Blossoms, we are committed to providing exceptional care that is built on the values of compassion, respect, and a belief in the potential of each child. We foster open communication, creating a partnership with parents to ensure the best possible experience for every child. Our dedicated team creates a positive and inclusive environment, encouraging curiosity, creativity, and a love of learning. We prioritize the personal growth and development of our staff, equipping them with the necessary tools and resources to provide quality care. At Awesome Blossom and Mini Blossoms, our mission is to cultivate a foundation of joy, confidence, and lifelong learning for each child in our care.”
