I have been doing this for over 14 years and over the years, I have had a lot of people ask me why I decided to open my school, Growing Angels.
There are plenty of reasons why I started working in early education and chose to focus on childcare. But one of the biggest reasons I started this school is passion: my passion for education, my passion to educate young people, and my passion to grow and transform my community!
A lot of people do not know this but growing up I was always quite sickly. I spent most of my days in the hospital and ended up missing a lot of school. And as a result, I did lose out a lot in school but someone really special to me made sure that I did not fall behind. My older brother took time out of his day to teach me and keep me updated on my schoolwork.
Through his teaching and tutoring, I was able to complete my education. And to be honest, I suppose that is where my passion was born as well. I too want to ensure that children who do not have access to education for one reason or the other can access quality childcare and education. I too, want to ensure that no child gets left behind, no matter what!
That’s why at Growing Angels we always go above and beyond. Each child is important. The child, and nurturing their minds and hearts is what we dedicate our time to. Education is one of those things you can never take away from a person. That’s why we put so much emphasis on education
And so, in answer to the question I mentioned at the beginning of this blog, why do I do this? I do it for the children! Like my brother who prioritized my education despite all the hurdles we had in our way, I also want to take away as many hurdles that prevent the children in my community from accessing quality education.
Every child has a right to a great education, and with Growing Angels we can turn this statement into reality!
Yours, Tina
CEO, Founder & Teacher
