A French Canadian Origin that started as an international attorney in Europe, they moved to the Canadian foreign affairs and the United Nations, mainly HCR and UNICEF, in the area of child protection and humanitarian work, around the world for over 15 years. Her last mission was in Africa with her young son which led them to move back to Florida in 2013 to set up one of the only school aged licensed after school program in Broward in 2014. During COVID, the center extended its program to e-learning children.

Hello there! My name is Tatiyana Diaz. I am the Director of Inspiring Minds Preschool. Just a little about me, I am the oldest
of four. I received all my certifications along with my national certification to teach through my high school years. I have also received my AA Degree along with currently working on my bachelor’s in Administration and Entrepreneurship. Ever since I was five years old, all I ever wanted to do was inspire little minds to be better than they can be. My motto has always been “You have to start from the bottom to reach the top, why not teach the smallest so they can grow up and be the biggest they can be.” That has been exactly what I have done for the last eight years. I love what I do on a daily basis.
