What happens when passion, culture, and purpose come full circle in early childhood education? In this powerful and heartfelt episode of the Child Care Genius Podcast, Brian and Carol sit down with Tania Delinois, a dynamic child care owner from South Florida who turned a high school after-school job into a thriving career. Tanya opens up about her unconventional path—from earning degrees in social psychology and nonprofit management to finding her way back to her first love: preschool. Her journey is anything but ordinary, and her story is a must-listen for anyone looking to reignite their passion for the child care industry.

 

Tanya shares the remarkable story of how she launched not one, but two trilingual preschool centers—serving her diverse community in English, Spanish, and Haitian Creole. With deep ties to her Haitian heritage and an eye for the unique needs of her community, Tania has created culturally rich environments where language, identity, and early learning thrive side by side. You’ll hear how these schools became a reflection of the vibrant South Florida community and a safe haven where children of all backgrounds can feel seen, celebrated, and supported.

 

But Tania’s growth didn’t stop with her centers. She candidly shares her struggles with leadership, burnout, and the realization that true business transformation starts from within. Her vulnerable reflection on how the Child Care Genius coaching program helped her build mindset, confidence, and emotional resilience will resonate with every center owner who has ever felt overwhelmed, stuck, or alone in leadership. Her testimony of going from “fight or flight” to finding joy again in the work is nothing short of inspiring.

 

From powerful aha moments at her first CCGU LIVE Conference in Vegas to learning to delegate with confidence, Tania's story is proof that investing in yourself is the key to unlocking everything else. Whether you’re just starting your child care journey or a seasoned owner searching for your next breakthrough, this episode will remind you that your leadership matters—and with the right mindset, support, and community, you can build something truly incredible. Tune in and be inspired.
