We
take great pride in the relationships we develop with our clients and the
assistance we provide to them. We also share a special purpose to serve an
amazing group of kids who may have labels that have held them back, but have so
much potential that deserves to be nurtured.
We are so thankful we decided to launch a nonprofit school in 2017.
It all started many years ago with Laura’s (our managing partner’s) daughter, Morgan. Laura knew Morgan needed something different. We knew other families in southeastern Wisconsin were feeling the same way. So, our Vista360 team stepped up and found the educators, therapists and building for our business and the soon-to-be launched school to co-locate.
Now, we can firmly report that this unique approach is working… for our Vista360 team and for the bright students we call Learners at Bloom360 Learning Community.
Our Vista360 team dedicates our time and a percentage of our profits to the school because Bloom360 Learning Community is important to the Learners and their families, as well as the shift needed in educational options in society.
It’s really powerful to witness this social-emotional and academic growth. It’s also pretty fun to hear laughter, engage with the learners daily and to see first-hand their confidence expand as they engage in learning each day. Our offices, located within one wing of the school, provide an ideal neighboring community of business professionals who lend a hand to:
• Help organize community fundraisers
• Work with Learners to facilitate art projects and provide experiences outside of the school building such as golf tips or visits to the therapeutic horse ranch
• Become enthusiastic audience members for our Learner’s project presentations on bridges and rockets and more
• Be cast as characters in plays that our creative Learners write and direct
• Serve as trusted advisers to talk to about math questions or life questions
• Stop by to see how science experiments are turning out
• Join in as customers in their micro-business, “We Knead Dough” (biweekly bakery cart sale)
• Attend birthday celebrations, recitals and holiday gatherings
• Go on daily walks which often end up in silly and serious discussions on a variety of topics that interest our Learners
• Realize we have a lot to learn from the Learners
Our long-term goal is to prepare our Learners for adulthood. We call them “our Learners” because we have an investment in each Learner and genuinely support their continued growth and development. We are with them every step of the way here and into the future which may include: volunteering, working, college, military service or other options they choose in which they can contribute to their communities using their unique strengths and interests.
Bloom360 Learning Community is more than a school to us. It is a thriving community where each and every member has a sense of belonging and strengths to contribute.
These amazing kids represent what is possible.
