The Owners
Debi Larkin-Chavez
Director of Operations
Hello, my name is Debi. I am from
Huntington Beach, California and have
lived in Arizona since 2003. I received my
B.A. in Liberal Studies from Cal State Long
Beach, my Teaching Credential from Cal
State Fullerton & UCLA and my Master’s in
Education (Curriculum & Instruction) from
National University. I have been teaching
collectively for about 35 years (grades Pre-
Kinder, K, 1, 2, 3, 4 & 6). I have always had
a passion for teaching. There is nothing
more gratifying than inspiring children to
be the best they can be…self confident with
a positive attitude!
Phil and I have three amazing children
Madison (23), Mattie (22), Jackson (19) and
2 Puppers, Oliver and Bentley. My children
have by far taught me more than I could
ever teach them. I am very excited to be
working with a team of teachers who put
their heart and soul into teaching children
to truly make a difference!

I have been married to my husband, Scott, for 31 years. We moved to Chandler in June 2015 because my husband transferred with Intel.

My name is Tiffanie Cartan (aka Mrs. Tiff), and I am SUPER excited to be a part of the Wee Blessings family! I am originally from a small farm town of 200 in Iowa! I moved to Arizona to attend Grand Canyon University, where I received my B.S. in Elementary Education and received my M.A. degree in Instructional Media from ASU. I have 15 years of experience as a classroom teacher (1st, 2nd,3rd, and 5th grades) and as a K-6 Instructional Media Specialist (school librarian & technology instructor). I have also coached boys and girls junior high track & field and 8th grade girls’ basketball. I stepped away from teaching to be a stay-at-home mom to my two boys, who are both Wee Blessings alumni! My husband, Scott, and I have been married for 12 years and enjoy any chance we get to take our boys hiking, biking and on frequent trips to the mountains. We also enjoy tending to our 16 chickens! I am so thrilled to follow my passion for teaching while being a part of your child’s first experience with school to help them build a strong foundation for learning!
