Welcome to A Place to Bloom
A Place To Bloom offers coaching programs conveniently online, teaching kids good habits and giving them tools that can evolve with them as they grow. We focus on topics and skills in the areas of: building relationships, communication, identifying and regulating emotions, problem solving, building self-esteem, and more!
Based in Gilbert, Arizona, we specialize in giving children the knowledge and developmental skills they need to be successful – through life’s big moments, small moments, and everything in between.
We provide customized programs designed to meet kids where they are, starting young with purpose and prevention in mind. All kids need social-emotional development. We aim to fill the gap between home and school and create a space where kids feel empowered to learn, confident in themselves, and surrounded by support.
About Miss Bloom
My name is Emily Bloom and I am a Developmental Coach, Certified Educator, and former classroom teacher that focuses on youth development. I have over 10 years of hands-on teaching experience and professional development. Five of those years were spent in a place I considered my true home – kindergarten.
I have worked with hundreds of kids of all ages and their families, developing and implementing programs based on individual needs to ensure a positive learning experience.
My vision for A Place To Bloom came together through my education, professional and volunteer experience, and my own personal journey. I partner with kids and families to fill the gap and give young children the skills that they need to be successful at home, at school, and in their communities.
Our Philosophy
Families work incredibly hard to support their children educationally, financially, and emotionally. School is oftentimes a child’s first exposure to society. The education system is built primarily around academics. Teachers and schools are required to make adequate academic progress. So where are children being explicitly taught critical social and emotional skills? They are learning as they go.
Now more than ever we are seeing the gap in critical skills play out in adolescents that are lost or unable to cope. Instead of naming, communicating, and managing their needs, many are finding their own ways to escape while remaining silent.
At A Place to Bloom, we believe in building a solid foundation early, teaching the tools to cope with everyday experiences, facilitating positive peer relationships, and allowing kids to practice their new skills with guidance. We teach that faced with challenges, simple adjustments can be incredibly powerful in developing positive outcomes. Students learn calming strategies, positive self talk, healthy movement, and more, as a way of building the skills they can utilize in the classroom and in life!
Our programs are suitable for all kids, because all kids need social-emotional development. Our packages include on-going classroom style meetings, individual check-ins, small group social activities, and family support. We would love to partner with you in supporting your child’s development.
