Hazel Opie – Professional Play Expert

Future OT Superhero

Substitute Provider

As a substitute teacher and an occupational therapy student, Hazel is always ready to jump in and support both big feelings and little hands at Bloomin’. With four years of experience in childcare and coursework in childhood development, they bring both knowledge and heart to every interaction.

When they’re not helping kids navigate their emotions and sensory needs, Hazel is at home with their two adorable bunnies (who may or may not be the real bosses). They believe that teaching self-regulation from a young age sets kids up for success—and they’re here to make sure every child feels supported along the way!
