I was born in Muskegon and lived here my whole life.  I graduated from Mona Shores.  I attended Muskegon Community College and studied Early Childhood.  I started working for Fruitport Schools in January of 2001 in the SAC program at Shettler School. In August of 2001 I moved to the Early Childhood Center to the Toddler 2 room and worked as an assistant.  In February of 2014 I furthered my education in Early Childhood and took over as the lead teacher of the Toddler 2 Room.  I love my job with the little people and find my job very rewarding.

What I love most about working in the education field is having the opportunity to see them learn and grow each day. It’s amazing to see them come into our center as small babies and leave big kids ready to start kindergarten. The little accomplishments they achieve are what make every day I am with them so special.

Our children are our future.  What a great job to have in helping them grow and explore! I love to sit on the floor and see things at their eye level.  What a different world it is! The joy in seeing a young face light up with newly learned knowledge is a great feeling.

I have worked for Fruitport Community Schools since 2000. I have held many different positions in the Early Childhood Center. I have worked as an assistant in most of the ECC classrooms and as a lead teacher for both Edgewood and Shettler SAC.

One of the things I love to do is work with children helping them build their stepping stones to a good education and future. I enjoy watching them grow.

I have been the secretary at the Early Childhood Center since March 2022. I love the relationships I make with the children and their families. For most, the ECC is a family's first impression of Fruitport, and I am happy to be a part of that experience. When I am not working, I enjoy spending time with my family, working on our farm, and traveling throughout the United States

I love what I do and I love the families I work with. These kiddos make me want to get up in the morning and go to work. I think I learn as much from them as they do from me!

Hello everyone! My name is Mrs. Brieanna and I am thrilled to be a helper in the class. I have been with the ECC for a couple of months now, and it has been amazing getting to know all the kids and watching them grow. I graduated from Fruitport in 2015 and am currently studying at Muskegon Community College and hoping to pursue a degree in early childhood education! I am excited to continue to learn more about all the families here at ECC.
