Grace Charity
My name is Tiffany Okoro, and I am excited to serve TLE Pecan Grove as Center Director. I have served in early child development and education, including nonprofit work, which focused on under resourced communities and families, collectively for the past twenty-one years, with over ten of these years being in administrative leadership. My husband Emmanuel, and I have two amazing teenagers, Andrew, and Madison, who both attended early child development centers in their younger years. As a parent myself, I truly understand and empathize firsthand with parents, who rely on quality childcare and the value of trusted relationships shared with caregivers of their beloved children. I am truly humbled to serve in continuing the commitment and vision for quality education and early child development for years to come.
