Who are we?
Rene' Rynestad M.Ed., ECSE & Kat Khalatbari M.Ed., ECSE
Ms. René and ms. kat are a dynamic team of highly trained and state licensed educators in the area of Early Childhood Special Education who bring more than 40 years of experience working with early learners and their families in the areas of communication, social skills, behavior, cognition, gross motor, fine motor and adaptive skills. ​Kids In Full Bloom, LLC was born after years of ideas and dreams shared between two public school teachers who knew they had the potential to do more, teach more, reach more and impact more. They shared a passion for the parent coaching and giving families the tools to support their child's journey through hands-on modeling.they wholeheartedly agreed this was best done through play. Kids in full bloom recognizes the need for those children who don't meet the qualifications for a diagnosis, who don't qualify for special education services, and those who need more than what is being provided through their current programs. We serve all children from typically developing and beyond. We serve the whole family in the environments where they face challenges. Beyond a shared passion for helping young children,
is a shared belief that the best route to success for young children
is through their family.
