Your center's calendar in Bloomily shows holidays, closures, field trips, and events — and lets you RSVP when a response is needed. Sign in at bloomily.app/auth/login.

Viewing the calendar

1. Open Calendar from the menu.

2. The current month displays by default, with today's date highlighted.

3. Use the arrows to move to previous or future months.

Your Home also shows the nearest upcoming events, so you can get a quick overview without opening the full calendar.

Event types

Each event's page names its type:

• Day off / holiday: the center is closed

• Half day: the center closes early or opens late

• Field trip: an off-site excursion or outing

• Parent meeting: a conference or parent event

• School event: performances, parties, or special activities

• Deadline: forms due, registration deadlines, and similar dates

Event details

Click or tap any event to see:

• Title and description: what the event is

• Date and time: including start and end times

• Location: where the event is held, if applicable

• Response option: ordinary events can show RSVP controls; a game or practice can ask for each invited child's availability instead

The calendar page also lists events in the selected month.

RSVPing to events

Finding events that need a response

Not every event needs an RSVP. Events that do are clearly marked:

• RSVP-required events show an indicator on the calendar

• You may receive a notification when a new event needs your response

• Upcoming events needing an RSVP may also appear on your Home

How to respond

For an ordinary event with RSVP controls:

1. Open Calendar and click the event.

2. Select your response.

3. Add any optional notes if requested.

4. Use Save answer, Update answer, or Join waitlist as offered. A waitlisted response is not a confirmed seat.

For a game or practice with invited children, respond for each child with Going, Can't, or Maybe. Each selection saves when you choose it, without Save answer or Update answer. If a note is available, save it separately after choosing the child's availability.

RSVP as soon as you know your plans — it helps the center plan food, space, and staffing.

Response options and deadlines

Depending on how your center set up the event, you may see:

• Going: you plan to attend

• Can't go: you won't be able to make it

• Maybe (if enabled): you're not sure yet

Some events have an RSVP deadline, shown in the event details. After the deadline passes you can no longer respond or change your answer.

Adding guests

For some events you can bring additional guests. If guests are allowed, you'll see an option to enter a guest count when you respond, along with any per-family limit. If you don't see a guest option, the event may be for enrolled children and their guardians only.

Changing your response

For an ordinary RSVP:

1. Go back to the event in the Calendar.

2. Your current response is shown.

3. Use Change, select a response and Update answer when permitted, or use the offered withdrawal action.

The event’s current response controls determine whether you can change or withdraw; follow its displayed restrictions. If you switch from attending to not attending, letting the center know early helps them adjust their plans.

For a game or practice, select a different availability for the applicable child. The new choice saves when selected, if changes are still allowed.

Frequently asked questions

Will I get reminders about events? Make sure notifications are turned on under Settings so you receive event reminders and updates.

An event changed or was cancelled — will I know? Check the Calendar and your available notification preferences. An event update or cancellation does not guarantee a notification was delivered.
