Meet "Miss Liz" Bartenbach! Between her time with our predecessor, Little Friends, and Bloom, Liz has spend nearly twenty years caring for young children in our beloved Bloom home. Miss Liz has had a tremendous impact on so many families through the years at Bloom (even causing some children to take up a British accent on a phrase or two). 

While Liz is an absolute WIZARD with toddlers and spent many years as a Lead Teacher in our toddler program, Liz has settled in as Co-Administrator at Bloom. Liz impresses us with her ability to navigate relationships with teachers, parents, and wee ones all with equal compassion and attentiveness. 

Liz has her Associates degree in Early Childhood Education from Suffolk College in England. 

Liz is the mother of two, Justin and Jessica, who have impossibly grown into adults right before our very eyes. Liz is an avid soccer player, enjoying both indoor and outdoor soccer.  She also coached the Gaudet (Middletown middle school) girls soccer team for two years.
