Who we are
We’re two board-certified pediatricians, full-time urgent care physicians, and moms of little ones—living the beautiful chaos of parenthood right alongside you.
After years of caring for children in fast-paced medical settings, we saw a growing need for something more: a space where families could slow down, connect, and learn in a supportive, judgment-free environment. As moms, we also experienced firsthand how overwhelming the early years can feel—full of questions, transitions, and moments where guidance and reassurance make all the difference.
Bloom Pediatric Play Group was created as our passion project to bridge the gap between medical expertise and real-life parenting. Through developmentally appropriate baby and toddler play experiences and pediatrician-led workshops for parents, our goal is to empower families with practical tools, evidence-based guidance, and community support.
We believe play is powerful, parents deserve trusted information, and no one should have to navigate early childhood alone. Bloom is where learning meets connection—and where both parents and little ones can grow together.
