Lynn Barr

Hi!  My name is Lynn Barr, and I am pleased to join the Children’s Creative Learning Center. 

I recently retired from the public schools after 28 years working as a speech-language pathologist.  I have a Masters Degree in Speech Pathology, and a Michigan Elementary Teaching Certificate with Endorsement in Special Education: Teacher of Speech and Language Impaired.  I also have a Certificate of Clinical Competence in Speech Pathology from the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association.

I live in Milan, Michigan in a home designed by my architect husband, Keith.  I have two awesome children, a 17 year old named Whitaker, who is enrolled at both Saline High School and Washtenaw Community College, and a 24 year old named Zachary who is just starting out as a financial planner in Ann Arbor.  I also share my home with two lovely and loving English Setters.

During my free time I often go for long walks down the country roads near my home.  I am a dedicated spectator at the soccer games played by my younger son.  I try to meet up with my older son at least every couple of weeks for dinner and to catch up.  I am an avid reader.  I also spend a lot of time preparing vegetarian fare as I am a firm believer that, “You are what you eat.”

I love working with young children and watching their development.  I think that children learn best from playful interactions with significant others.  I hope to become a significant other at Children’s Creative Learning Center!
