Bloomington Developmental Learning Center (BDLC)

Bloomington Developmental Learning Center, Inc. (BDLC) is a licensed early childhood learning center and preschool that was founded in 1973 by parents and teachers who were bound by similar childcare philosophies. BDLC is one of the largest and oldest child-care centers in Monroe County serving nearly 100 students from age 6 weeks through 5 years, and is governed by a Board of Directors comprised of parents, teachers, and community members.

BDLC uses a play-based curriculum focused on developing students in various academic disciplines from literacy and the arts to science, technology, and math. We also focus on children’s social-emotional development and use the Conscious Discipline model for classroom management to empower students with safe spaces for self-regulation.
