Hello to Ms. Susan!
I moved to Grand Blanc a couple of years ago with my family. I have six children ranging from 17 down to 2 years old. We love the community and being part of the Grand Blanc Community Schools District. I enjoy having family time, shopping and baking.
I have my associates degree in Early Childhood Education and worked for years in preschool and childcare. When I learned about the PAT program I fell in love and knew being a parent educator would be a job I would love, and it has been! I am excited about getting to know more families in our community and learn and grow together
Say Hi to Mrs. Tiffany!
I live in Grand Blanc with my husband and son and I love being a Parent Educator for the PAT program! I grew up in Mid-Ohio and earned my Bachelors of Science in Human Development and Family Studies with a minor in Child Development from Bowling Green State University. I am also currently pursuing a Masters of Psychology with a specialization in Child and Adolescent Development from Capella University.
I'm looking forward to empowering families to become the best they can be!

A fun new class to help parents create secure attachment with their young ones. We will be spending time each Thursday with our littles at the carpet enjoying songs and fingerplays together. We will have interactive parent and child activities and still incorporate snack and baby signs to help with communication. This class will be geared toward 0-2 year old's but siblings are welcome.

ALPHABITS CLASS
What is Alpha Bits?
Alpha Bits will include a story, movement and activities to encourage literacy skill building & school readiness (ages birth-5 yrs). Topics are repeated throughout the week. Please select only 1 date/time to attend. This class will begin promptly at their scheduled times.
Transitions:
Please use the playroom before and after class as time for your child to transition to/from the classroom. The benefits of transitioning children into/from an activity is that it helps them understand the event and allows them time to adapt to the change, which can reduce and prevent tantrums.
Cleaning Up
We also ask parents and children to help clean up after class and open play. This teaches your child to value their environment and helps them learn skills they will use for the rest of their lives.
If you are interested in attending a class, please click on the date and complete the sign in form. Please be aware that class content will be the same throughout the week.

Kidsight screening a success
We appreciate this free service. I think parents were pleasantly surprised at the ease and speed which their child could be screened for potential vision problems.
