Kathryn Dunn, Founder & Lead Educator

Kathryn Dunn is a child development specialist and parent coach who helps families feel less overwhelmed and more equipped to handle the real challenges of raising young kids. She’s not a therapist or a doctor—she’s an expert in how children grow, learn, and behave.

After years of experience in the classroom and curriculum design, Kathryn created Nurtured Nest—an online learning platform offering expert-led, real-life courses on baby care, feeding, sleep, and behavior. She also works directly with families at Bloom Pediatric Partners alongside Dr. Melinda Beavers, helping parents understand their child’s development, navigate tricky behaviors, and feel more confident day to day.

Her goal? To make parenting feel less like guesswork and more like something you can actually do—with clarity, support, and a little less stress.

When she's not guiding families, Kathryn is often at the barn helping her daughters ride horses, fostering kittens, or enjoying a quiet cup of coffee (before someone spills something).

Fun Fact: Since 2019, Kathryn and her family have fostered over 48 kittens—and counting.
