Tiffany Grant is currently working to fortify the ECE business model as a Business Development Manager at First Children’s Finance. As a continuing advocate for equity and inclusion, she helped establish a peer networking resource group for entrepreneurs of color called Community Conversations for Early Childhood Entrepreneurs. Tiffany’s expertise lies in bridging the gaps between childcare business, advocacy, and equity where she has sought to help BIPOC business owners navigate the structural and systemic barriers they encounter every day. Tiffany has a talent for identifying areas of the Early Childhood Field where discrepancies exist and has worked to specifically target those areas of need. Her work in coaching and training, as well as in compliance and curriculum development has helped to highlight these needs. Knowing the importance of continuing education, Tiffany also works as a trainer in the subjects of early childhood trauma, African American Language and supporting multilingual young learners using WIDA Early Years resources. Additional examples of meaningful contributions to the field include co-founding an ECE branch within the Excell Academy for Higher Learning charter school. Tiffany received her bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Studies with a focus on psychology and leadership from Metropolitan State University.
