Lotus Bloom is a family resource center where children aged 0-5 and their parents/caregivers learn, play, gain confidence and find connections to other parents, health resources, and education resources. Many of their staff are former caregivers who participated in Lotus Bloom playgroups previously. Their diverse and dedicated staff members are thus able to connect with families using both their educational knowledge, on the job learnings, and their lived experiences. 

At Lotus Bloom, they understand that the first three years of life set the foundation for a lifetime of health, learning, and fulfillment. Many new parents, however, face barriers to providing their children optimal levels of care and resources. Being the parent of a newborn can be joyful but exhausting, and social isolation is a particular risk factor for mothers who do not have nearby family support, who are unable to afford quality childcare, who are new to the United States, or to the community in which they live, who are juggling childcare with other work and family obligations, and/or who are suffering from depression.
