Kate Southern – Lead Teacher
My name is Kate Southern. I am married to Tom, my husband of 12 years. We have been members at Immanuel since 2009. I am the mother of four children. Emma (18 1/2) and Carter (16), are my stepchildren. We affectionately refer to as “the bigs”. Emma attends Macomb Community College and Carter will be a junior at Dakota during the 2021-2022 school year. Caraline (10 1/2) and Coleton (8) are our youngest, and we refer to them as “the littles”. Caraline will be in 5th grade for the 2021-2022 school year at Immanuel and Coleton will be in 3rd grade. I graduated from Michigan State University in 2004 with a BA in Psychology. After working as a preschool assistant at Tutor Time in Okemos and then as a paraprofessional in Bloomfield Hills, I returned to graduate school at Wayne State University to pursue a Master’s degree in Speech-Language Pathology. I graduated in 2010 and completed my clinical fellowship at Children’s Hospital of Michigan. I am a Michigan licensed speech-language pathologist and continue to work part time providing private speech therapy through my own company, Speech and Learning Together, LLC. I have assisted Mrs. Clor and Mrs. Sell in the 4 year old and 3 year old programs before becoming a lead teacher of 3’s. 2021-2022 will be my 6th year at Immanuel. I will be teaching a full day MWF 3-4 blended class. I am so thankful that the Lord has led me to this opportunity to teach at Immanuel. I truly love working with children and am so excited to share the love of Jesus with your preschoolers.
My name is Becky Safran. I am very excited to continue to work with children and families here at Immanuel. I have been married to Matt for 20 years and we live in Clinton Township. We have three children, all of whom attend(ed) school here at Immanuel. My son Luke is in 12th grade, my son Noah is in 9th grade, and my daughter Leah is in 7th grade for the 2021-2022 school year. We also have two dogs named Penny and Parker. In my free time, I enjoy attending my children’s sporting events, reading, and spending time with family and friends. I assisted Carol Shull in 3 year old preschool program for two years. I have teamed up with Kate, this will be our 4th year together, my 6th year at Immanuel. This is the first year we will be working Monday, Wednesday, and Friday full day together. I am also assisting Cristina Vloch in the 3 year old afternoon program as well as Sandra Clor in the 4 year old am program on Tuesdays and Thursdays this school year.
