Susan Heinz, PhD, has spent her decades-long career teaching young children in public and private schools, coaching parents as they support their children, and growing the next generation of early childhood teachers at the university level. Her specialization in early childhood literacy and language development has taken her from large cities to small villages. Through her experiences in these diverse settings and populations, she has developed a passion for identifying traits in young children that increase their success in preschool settings and beyond. Dr. Heinz is committed to sharing practical and actionable ideas with parents and teachers to set young children up for school success.
Dr. Heinz lives in Anchorage, Alaska near her seven grandchildren who have been some of her most influential teachers! She values every lesson!
