Marie Duty, Founder and Petals Teacher
I am excited to be building something so special in Bloom Early Learning! Over the years, I have had the privilege of working with so many amazing children and families. When the pandemic threw all of us a curve ball, and prompted many of us to make changes, I was encouraged by families that I had worked with to create a space that provides a healthy start for young learners. I am grateful for their support. Together with this caring, accomplished team and a special group of children and families, I am confident we are creating something magical!
I hold a Master’s in Public Administration and have worked with the under six population since the start of my career. With over 20 years of experience teaching and working with preschoolers, I come to this program with a passion for literacy, creativity, and relationship building. In addition to my years in the classroom, I have almost 15 years of experience as a Preschool Director. I absolutely love working alongside the team we have assembled for Bloom. They truly are the best of the best! And the families that have joined our community are wonderful - kind, invested, encouraging, and supportive. Bloom feels like home because of our team and our families and we couldn’t be more grateful.
