Featuring Keynote Speaker: Ty'Heim Clark, "The Childcare Whisperer"

It was during the pandemic that God gave me the vision and resources to birth a business. A native of South Carolina, I attended Voorhees College, in Denmark S.C, where I majored in Early Childhood Education.  My professional experience spans from managing privately-owned and corporate childcare centers with enrollments ranging from 80 to 200, and a staff of over 20 employees.  In addition to my experience as a Pre-Kindergarten Teacher, Assistant Center Director, Director of Curriculum, and Center Director, I hold many years of hands-on experience, assisting my mother at her childcare center from my preteen to young adult years.  Under the loving guidance of my mother, I learned how to serve with pristine integrity and to always remember that God is the key to all things; she groomed me for this! I believe that faith, passion, and education are the keys to achieving all your goals.
