TYESHA
My name is Tyesha, and I have an Associate of Applied Science in Early Education. I met Tina, an inspiring woman I consider a sister, at church, and her dedication to children motivated me to pursue my own path in early education. I worked briefly with Tina in her home daycare, where I learned valuable skills and felt even more inspired. Through her, I connected with Rochelle Bea, Director of Beginning Futures Learning Center, where I now work as a Teacher’s Assistant. Watching these two incredible women dedicate themselves to children and families has strengthened me and given me the confidence to keep growing in this field.
C. HAYES
The support, polite and active nature of Mrs. Pennington made it possible for me to achieve many accomplishments in my journey. It's because of her that I now own my own childcare center.
V. SMITH
I worked for Mrs. P for 5 years. She taught me the day to day operations on running a childcare program. She inspired me to open up my own Childcare center.​ From her teachings I incorporate some of the same values with my employees. Mrs. P goes above and beyond and I strive to teach my staff as she taught me. She's my MENTOR.
CHERIA
I met Tina Mosley when I was 14, and over the years, she became one of my biggest supporters. Mrs. Tina encouraged me to go back to school, and with her guidance, I began working towards my degree while also working in daycare. Even when I got married, moved to Illinois, and had children of my own, Mrs. Tina continued to motivate me. She helped me start my own licensed daycare at home, making it possible to support my family while pursuing my education. At 41, after years of hard work and taking classes, I finally earned my Bachelor’s in Early Childhood Education, with Mrs. Tina cheering me on every step of the way.
