Inspection snapshot

Questions worth asking

The records include recorded violations parents may want to understand before enrolling. These are conversation starters, not a pass-or-fail judgment.

Next: Review the inspection history below and ask the provider what the records mean and what changed afterward.

Summary

This summary covers 35 available inspections for Little Bloomers from December 10, 2021 through May 15, 2026.

14 inspections recorded violations, with 41 recorded violations in total.

The most recent recorded violation was on March 17, 2026 and involved staff training.

That higher-concern topic showed up in three inspections.

Two later inspections, from May 11, 2026 through May 15, 2026, showed no recorded violations, but the records do not say whether they were formal follow-ups.
