Teddy Bear Clinic
For Children ages 5-8
Join us in our Bloom U classroom in Southfield, Michigan as we partner with Michigan State University College of Medicine students for a free, hands-on Teddy Bear Clinic!
Created for kids ages 5–8, this playful learning experience helps young children understand what happens during a doctor’s visit—reducing anxiety and building confidence about healthcare in a fun, nurturing setting.
Kids bring their favorite teddy bear or “stuffy friend” to rotate through interactive stations exploring heart & lung health, bone health, nutrition, vaccines, germs, and the five senses.
Guided by future doctors, children learn healthy habits, ask questions, and gain a sense of comfort and curiosity about their own well-being.
While the event is free to attend, we invite families to make an optional donation to COTS, a Detroit-based homeless shelter supporting families in need.
Potty Training 101

With so many opinions about potty training methods and timing, it’s easy to feel unsure about when or how to begin. The truth is, there’s no one “right” potty training age!

How your child’s urinary and bowel systems develop
Signs of readiness and when to start potty training
