“Black Educators are the Gold Mine of our community.”

Tiffany Ford

Little Leaders Learning Academy

Leaders and Legends Performing Arts Academy

“You have to know the kids to get through…”

From an early age, Tiffany Ford developed a passion for school as she watched her mother work as an educator. Her diverse, well rounded educational experiences prepared her for a career in early education, but a December graduation date steered her into social work. This professional experience opened her eyes to the other side of education, and the birth of her daughter inspired her to open Little Leaders Learning Academy in Philadelphia.

“You learn a lot about yourself when you’re responsible for a large group of people…”

In spite of the disservice of testing and discouraging systems within education, Tiffany is intentional about the culture she creates within her facility. It’s about the power of the village, the joy of award ceremonies and integrating arts into the curriculum. After working through the pandemic, she’s able to share some leadership lessons and encourages training, training, training, and recommends that ALL educators find a mentor.
