bloom! Director
Beth Heimann
Beth Heimann’s job title is positively guaranteed to provoke questions. What’s her title? She’s the Director and Cultivator of Curiosity for bloom! Beth goes to work each day to demonstrate and exemplify the principles of child development. She inspires and empowers teachers to think, question, research, and discover the complexities of young children and the joy of meeting their needs.
Her ten years of experience teaching in preschool and kindergarten classrooms and a Master’s Degree from IPFW set Beth up to understand teachers’ challenges in both authentic and theoretical ways.
Beth and her husband have their own early childhood initiative at home—two very busy and energetic boys under age six.
In her spare time (who are we kidding here) Beth likes to read mysteries and solve puzzles of all kinds.
