A Journey of Development
Nurturing Growth from Infancy to Preschool
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.

The Heart of Albany’s Childcare Providers
Blanca Morgan has 10 years of experience in the childcare industry. Awesome Blossom Child Care began operating in 2017. Awesome Blossom was awarded Preschool Promise in 2020, and in June 2022, it opened a second location for infants and toddlers. Our teachers are experienced and trained to provide high-quality care. Our lead preschool teacher has three years of early childhood education. In our infant and toddler care, we have a retired certified nurse assistant with life knowledge in baby care. She has a background in medicine and is currently pursuing certification in early childhood education. Our teachers, assistants, aides, and substitutes meet the training and standards, such as CPR and first aid, and background checks required by the Department of Early Learning and Childcare.
"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 third child. I began taking childcare classes to help my sister out with her children and then became a child care aide 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 ones' growth in a nurturing and safe environment. "
