I am Amanda Bass and I am the Director. I have worked with children for 17 years. I graduated with my Bachelor’s Degree from Baker College of Flint in December 2015. I am currently working on my Master’s in Early Childhood. I have been married for 4 ½ years and I am loving every minute of my life. We also have a very spoiled Pit-bull named Smokey (He is our child) We love to play sports and watch the Detroit Tigers and MSU play. I love watching the children grow and learn, along with watching their horizon’s broaden along the way. This is why I love the field of Early Childhood!

Emily Pratt
My name is Emily Pratt. I have just completed my courses and have become the teacher leader of the toddler group. I have a wonderful husband and two dogs, Lola and Athena. Some of my favorite things to do are hanging out with my parents, having lazy movie days with my husband and dogs and watching the Detroit tigers play (one day I'll be Justin Verlander's wife 😉). I chose to be in early childhood development because I love watching them grow and learn; seeing them get excited to learn something new every day. Plus, you get to be a kid too 😄
