MEET OUR TEACHERS
Where the Passion Begins
Passionate, Qualified, Dedicated, and Loving, Little Bloom Academy teachers share the same joy of working with young minds and go above and beyond in order to support every Childs growing needs.
Our goal is to provide a second home to your children where they can express themselves freely and be who they were born to be. We are a tight knit community who share common values and philosophies. We believe the success of the child begins with the relationship of caregivers and parents which then gives the child a voice as well. Our teachers are dedicated their development as much as they are to their students. All teachers are required to attend monthly meetings and year round trainings.
EMILY QUINTERO
Director/Owner
Greetings! I'm Emily Quintero, the proud founder and director of Little Bloom Academy. With a background in early childhood education and a deep passion for child development, I opened Little Bloom to create a nurturing, inclusive, and bilingual preschool environment where every child is celebrated for who they are. After working as a preschool teacher for two years, I knew I had found my purpose—and I was inspired to build a space that supports the diverse needs of young learners in a way that feels like home.​
​
Education:
I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Human Development with a focus in Early Childhood Education, and I’m also a certified nutritionist through the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM).
​
Professional Certifications:
-
EMSA-Certified Pediatric First Aid & CPR
-
EMSA-Certified Preventive Health Practices
-
Mandated Reporter Training
With over a decade of experience caring for children, including six years of professional, paid experience—infants included—I am dedicated to providing high-quality care and education that nurtures the whole child. Although I don’t yet have children of my own, my passion for early childhood development has been lifelong, and I’m truly honored to support and guide children during these important early years.
Outside the classroom, you’ll often find me:
Lifting weights, Reading, enjoying great food, tending to my plants, spending time with family, or practicing mindfulness through meditation
