Location of Blossom House

Please take a look at our pictures and read below a bit about our new location!!!!

Blossom House is located at the Northern end of Saratoga county right on the Greenfield/Corinth town lines. We are located about 10 minutes from Saratoga, five from Greenfield Center and the Village of Corinth. We are located in the country on a great 2 acre piece of property. Two rooms in the rear of the home are dedicated solely to the day care with its own entrance located just about 10 feet from our rear yard. Our rear yard is completely fenced in for safety and contains a wooden playground, sandbox, and little house. We have some beautiful apple trees in the yard which bear some wonderful fruit for us. Outside our window we have a small vegetable garden growing some terrific vegetables for us to harvest.When we feel like hiking we head into the woods just feet from our fenced yard to take a nature walk on our hiking trails, build fairy houses or tree forts! Our location is just perfect for our nature centered program.

Miss Jamie

Miss Jamie is the owner/director of blossom house day care. Miss Jamie brings to Blossom House a warmth and genuine love for the children. Miss Jamie is a RN and has been in a day care setting for 10 years. In addition to being a registered nurse Miss Jamie has degrees in Psychology and Applied Science and was a La Leche League leader for Saratoga Springs for many years. Miss Jamie has worked with children her entire life, whether as a recreational camp counselor, substitute teacher for both public and private schools or working with special needs children in a home setting, children have been at her core for her entire life. Miss Jamie wanted to develop a day care that was more than Nick jr. and peanut butter sandwiches and applied what she would have sought for her own children in creating Blossom House. She took her inspiration from not only her years as a homeschooling mom but also her experience in Waldorf and public school classrooms. She saw no one way as "best" but saw bits and pieces of many disciplines important in the overall developement of children. She loves the beauty and rhythm of Waldorf, the sensory focus of Montessori and thinks that many classical schoolong activities are useful as well. She brings to the children a eclectic blend of education drawing from Waldorf, Montessori, Reggio and Classical methods of schooling. Believing no one way is the "right" way she has pulled the best from all sources to give to the children what she feels is a well rounded program. So for example much of our rhythm and seasonal focus is drawn from the Waldorf philosophy while Montessori sensory experiences are implemented and sometimes classical activities like fingerpainting and play doh use are beneficial as well!! Miss Jamie works hard to have a deep and meaningful connection with you and your children and believe we are truly partners in fostering each child to Blossom, my families are truly family to me and I often find myself visiting their homes for parties and events and feel honored to be in their lives. Miss Jamie loves when the children say they are coming to "school" but also likes the small family feel we share together each and every day.
