Susan Dineen received her BS in Kindergarten Primary Education from the University of Cincinnati. After teaching for several years she applied her passion for children outside the classroom in raising her own three children. In 1984, Susan founded Child Care Professionals, Inc. an agency that places trusted childcare providers in homes of professional parents. "I became aware of the need for a resource like Productive Parenting through my work with professional parents. They consistently requested childcare providers with experience in Early Childhood Education. Parents appreciated the providers understanding of age appropriate activities to engage in with their children and often expressed interest in accessing these types of activities themselves! Productive Parenting takes the expertise of Educators and makes it easily accessible to parents." Susan sold her company in 2005 to partner with Emily in creating Productive Parenting. She and her husband Rich have been married since 1969 and enjoy golfing, traveling, and spending time with grandchildren.
