Kaitlin Barlocker is a passionate preschool teacher originally from Utah, where she spent her childhood on a lively farm in Parowan, immersed in sports and competitive dancing. Her upbringing ignited a lifelong dedication to fitness, which she continues to nurture while residing in Idaho Falls for the past six years with her husband, Colby, and their three children.
As a stay-at-home mom, Kaitlin seized the opportunity to deepen her expertise in nutrition, bodybuilding, and lifestyle training. Her commitment to fitness led her to compete in wellness and bikini divisions of bodybuilding competitions, and although she’s taken a temporary break to focus on her company, KaitB Fitness, she eagerly anticipates returning to the stage soon. Kaitlin recently launched a fitness app aimed at empowering women to adopt healthier nutrition habits amidst their demanding work-life schedules.
Her journey into early childhood education began unexpectedly when she substituted preschool classes alongside Miss Jenni last year, enabling her to spend valuable time with her son, Cooper, who was in the class. This experience sparked Kaitlin’s transition into becoming an assistant teacher the following school year. She quickly fell in love with guiding young children through their preschool milestones, witnessing firsthand their development in fine motor skills, emotional awareness, and social interactions.
Inspired by the patience and empathy demonstrated by her colleagues, Kaitlin made the decision to pursue a career as an assistant teacher. She is thrilled to bring her enthusiasm for fitness and nurturing young minds to Blossom & Grow, Fine Arts Preschool. Kaitlin is dedicated to creating a supportive and stimulating environment where every child can thrive, laying the groundwork for a lifetime of learning and well-being.
