Meet the Team
Kate Harding
Bloom Program Director/Co-Teacher
Miss Kate was raised primarily in NC but lived in Delaware and Texas with her family before moving back to NC in 2015. She received her BA from NC State University before becoming a Corp Member with Teach for America.
She is married
to Scott and is the mom of her two wonderful children: Cooper (15) and Kellan (13). Their family loves to camp, travel, watch “How It’s Made” and play board games. She spends most of her free time cross-stitching, coaching her son’s Odyssey of the Mind team, and taking her daughter to dance competitions.
Kate has taught 8th grade Language Arts, preschool art and music, and for the past seven years has been teaching in a church preschool setting, with the last three of those years serving as Director. She is a strong believer that learning comes through movement and play, so she loves a classroom that is loud, messy and fun! She thoroughly looks forward to working with your family to give your child the best preschool experience possible at Bloom!

Mary Crilly
Bloom Co-Teacher
Mary Crilly was born in Ireland and moved to North Carolina with her husband in 2004. She received her degree in Art Education at Galway/Mayo Institute of Technology in 1997. Mary has been married to Niall since 2004 and has two children, a daughter who is an 8th grader at Revolution Academy and a son who is a sophomore at Northwest High School. Her family loves to watch movies together and try to travel as much as they can. Their favorite pastime is camping, and last summer they spent three weeks traveling the East Coast. Mary also loves reading, crafts and walking her dog, Ginny.
Mary is in her 9th year of teaching preschool, most recently teaching Pre-K in Summerfield. She loves creating a safe and welcoming environment for her students and watching them grow together through play and social interactions. Having fun, getting messy and watching the students learn new skills is amazing. Being a part of that is so rewarding and she is excited to start her new venture at Bloom!
Testimonials
We’ve been a part of 5 dance studios due to job transfers. This has been our favorite so far. High quality teachers. Very organized office staff. All are friendly and intentionally build community. Our girls (& adult student) have grown and enjoyed our time there!
