Questions, answered

Before you enroll

• Who is Bloom & Build for?

  Girls ages 10 to 18. Junior CEO Track (10–13) and Rising Entrepreneur Track (14–18) run side-by-side with age-appropriate activities, language, and depth.

• What are the dates and hours?

  July 7 through August 8, 2026 — five weeks, Monday through Friday, 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM. The program ends with the public Bloom & Build Showcase the final week, where every girl pitches to family and community.

• How do I secure a spot?

  Download the registration form from the application section above, complete it, and email it to events@casadeflorabar.com or maritzawalton@casadeflorabar.com. We'll confirm receipt within 48 hours and send a secure link to submit the $300 deposit. The seat is officially confirmed once both the form and the deposit are received — first come, first served.

• How much does it cost? Is there a payment plan?

  $1,495 for the full 5-week program, or $1,300 early-bird if you register by June 13 (save $200). Siblings are $1,195 each. Prefer flexibility? Single weeks are $395. A $300 deposit (due June 30) holds the seat; payment plans are available for the balance — just ask.

• What's included in tuition?

  Every workshop and guest session, all materials and workbooks, the Bloom Boldly Dream Daily journal, the professional brand shoot, communal breakfast and Casa de Flora–catered lunch every day, the NYC and NJ field trips, a resource toolkit, and the public showcase. No hidden fees and nothing extra to buy.

• Are meals included every day?

  Yes — a communal breakfast every morning (9:00–9:30) and a full Casa de Flora–catered lunch (12:00–12:45) every day. Dietary restrictions are accommodated; note them on the registration form.

• Where is the program held?

  Casa de Flora at 73 & 75 Washington Street, Bloomfield, NJ 07003 — the event space and café. The Selfie Studio, kitchen, and event space are all used throughout the program.

• Who teaches the program?

  Maritza Walton — founder of Casa de Flora and Ritz-Walton Wedding Collection, with 25+ years in business — leads the core curriculum. Every afternoon brings a different vetted guest instructor: estheticians, cosmetologists, MUAs, pastry chefs, a licensed therapist, a self-defense instructor, and an entrepreneur panel of working business owners.

• What does my daughter need to bring?

  Just herself, a water bottle, and an open mind. Journals, workbooks, and all materials are provided.

• How do the field trips work?

  The program includes excursions to the NYC Fashion District, the NYC Flower District, and additional New Jersey outings. All transportation, admission, and supervision are provided — parental permission is granted on the registration form.

• Is there a refund policy?

  The $300 deposit is non-refundable and confirms the seat. Enrollment is first come, first served with only 20 spots per track. For the remaining balance, reach out — payment plans are available and we work with families when life happens.
