Blossom Family Preschool

About Our Philosophy

We believe children are curious and competent explorers of the world around them. They are natural-born researchers, thinkers, communicators, and creators. Children are citizens of our communities. They have the right to be respected, trusted, and treated with importance. We understand that each child follows their own unique path of development and reaches their developmental milestones at their own pace. We honor their individual journeys. We believe that the diversity of the children’s personal experiences enrich the preschool community, and us as educators.

  I don't know where to begin about Blossom Family Preschool, but I want to emphasize that this is the best preschool not only in Phoenix, but in the United States!
My 4 year old son started attending this school in March and has truly enjoyed every day with Ms. Monika and feels safe and comfortable there!
I am so lucky to have found Ms. Monika at such an important time in my son's development.
My son's native language is not English, so it is still difficult for him to communicate in conversation, but despite this, Ms. Monika is very patient with him and makes every effort to communicate with him whenever possible.
Ms. Monika is an experienced educator and an excellent woman, so I feel comfortable leaving my child in her care.
She is also a very respectful mother with parenting experience, and a good advisor to me.
If Blossom Family Preschool had a pre-school and beyond grade level, I would definitely send my child there!

  Mrs. Monika is the best! Our family is very lucky to be a part of such an incredible knit preschool family.  She is very patient and has enough energy to keep up with our 4 year old. Very thankful to have been introduced to her preschool.

  My daughter spent an amazing year with Ms Monika as her primary guide. She taught her how to think and problem solve, she gave my daughter a love for her education because it was full of joy and learning and independence - my daughter gained the confidence to grow into her comfort zone and thrived in her environment. Monika is loving and kind and and was always available to talk with me as a parent. She was welcoming and she made the community feel like family. She continues to be one of my favorite people and supports our family in new endeavors. One of my daughter’s best memories is singing the silly elephant song while Monika played her guitar.

  Monika was my daughter's teacher for two years and hands down she was the best teacher either of my children have had. Her gentle and respectful child-centered approach is beyond anything we have ever experienced. She greeted her every morning with a warm welcoming smile and would allow my daughter to choose how she wanted to say good morning (wave, high five, hello, hug, etc.--same options for every child and every day) which is a perfect example of the way she empowers children to make choices for themselves while providing structure, boundaries, and teaching healthy and respectful social norms.
I will never forget during my daughter's first year with Monika. Children in class were trying to build a fort. They were having a hard time working together. She videotaped them as they struggled. Then, she sat them down on the carpet and showed them the video and asked them to discuss what was happening. The children realized that they were not listening to one another and everyone had different ideas. Then, she provided them with magnatiles to independently create their own prototype of what THEY thought the fort should be and look like. From there she facilitated a vote so they could each cast their vote and decide on ONE prototype in which they would then use to create a fort for the classroom. They all voted and picked one design. The next day she provided them with fort building materials to create a life-sized version. It was incredible to see that they worked together, respected each others ideas, listened to one another and built a fort for all of them to play in and enjoy! (Not only did Monika do this but she documented it in photos and videos and shared it with families so we could see what was taking place in the classroom.) The fort stayed up in the classroom for the next few weeks. I was so impressed with the way this related to every day life and the way Monika was able to gently and effectively facilitate this process for them. What a gift!
To this day my daughter works so well with others (I am sure also because of other factors) but I know it is in large part because of the two years of influence and the impact Monika had on her early on in her academic journey. Pre-K and Kindergarten with Monika was a great foundation for her learning that I am confident we likely would not have gotten elsewhere.
Highly recommend Blossom Family Preschool to anyone looking for a great foundation for their children!

  Miss Allegra is one of the warmest and patient early childhood educators we've ever had.  She is always smiling and is so loving towards the kids. One of my favorite things about Allegra is that she allows the kids to be creative and expressive.  She is always coming up with projects and activities that not only help strengthen their fine motor skills but also allows them to get "messy" and use their senses. She gives the kids exactly what they need at this age and made it fun for them!
Thank you for making it so much easier for me to go to work everyday knowing my little girl was in such good hands.  ❤️

  We love Miss Allegra! She's incredibly warm, patient, and loving with all of the kids in her class. Allegra's lessons were full of fun and creativity and our son learned so much because of her. We're so grateful that he got to spend a year with her. We wish he could always have Miss Allegra as his teacher!

  Monika and Allegra are the BEST childhood educators that we have ever experienced! My son and daughter have personal experience with them in preschool and first grade. They are both thoughtful, patient, caring and brilliant.

  Monika was my daughter's early childhood teacher for two years, and boy did she set a high bar! We couldn't have asked for a better first school experience for our child. Monika has a knack for meeting the kids where that are at and a great intuition for individual children's needs and understanding both on an intellectual and emotional level. She has given our daughter a great base for her elementary education and social emotional understanding.
I love how Monika brings music and art to the classroom and real time, hands on learning. Any child would be fortunate to attend Blossom Family Preschool.
