Let your inner child lead you….
Meet the owner and creator of our Brilliant Butterflies family!!
I am the oldest of 4 girls and went to a catholic school most my life. Growing up knowing God, I was always so fascinated with the miracle of life and the birth of a baby. As long as I can remember I loved babies and children. I loved being around them, the laughs, the cute, sweet sounds of their voices saying their first words. I knew early on that I would be a mother. Can you imagine knowing exactly what you want for your life at such a young age? God has certainly blessed me with four beautiful, healthy children. I was raised as a child in a home-based group child care business. I learned early on how to run a successful child care business and I dreamed of opening up my own one day. I opened my first in home child care program after my son was born 22 years ago. I did this for 15 years out of my home. Fast forward to today, I am excited to serve you with our home-based group Child Care Program and Early Preschool Program right here in our beautiful Livonia area neighborhood.
I have a degree in Early Child Care Education and hold a credential as a CDA (Certified Child Development Associate). I have also earned a certification as a Spiritual Life Coach and Master Life Coach with The Life Coach Institute. I believe there is always room to learn and grow! I went back to school in the evenings when my little ones were babies and received my CPC credential (certified professional coder) and have enjoyed working in the medical field for the last 10 years. However, my true love is working with children and their families, and this has always been my main focus. That being said, it gave me the opportunity to explore child care centers as a working mother, so I understand what working parents have to go through when leaving their precious child in the hands of another. We need to trust that our babies are safe, loved, and are learning in a positive environment. I always encourage open and honest communication and every concern a parent has, if any, is taken seriously. We strive to lead by example in all that we say and do.
Meet our AMAZING Director and Teachers:
***Miss Tiarra Otis- Our Preschool Teacher***
Miss Tiarra has been with Brilliant Butterflies for almost 2 yeas now and has grown with us! Her primary role is leading our preschoolers with weekly crafts, imaginary play, group/circle time, and fun daily learning activities. She also assists with the infants and toddlers when there is a change in our daily ratio or enrollment. Our infants and toddlers just adore her! She started in our infant/toddler room and is well known for her cuddles, comforts, bottle feeding, and just getting down on the floor to play with our infants and toddlers. Her big smile and positive energy is contagious as she cares for our little ones always making sure they feel safe and loved. She leads by example in all that she does while guiding our preschools to a day filled with learning fun! Tiarra received her Child Development Associate from Schoolcraft College. She has also worked in child care centers for three years in a variety of roles before she joined our program. Tiarra is also the oldest of 5 children so helping her mother with her siblings was the start of her passion and love of joining the child care field. We are blessed to have her and look forward to her growth in this amazing and rewarding field.
