Rosita Anglin, SUPERVISOR,Toddlers Teacher
Ms. Anglin began her journey in early childhood education in February 1999 right here at Inspiration House Daycare Center. In 2002, she stepped out in faith and launched her own home childcare program, Train Up A Child Daycare, which faithfully served families until the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020.
Known affectionately as “Auntie” or “Grandma” by many of her clients, Ms. Anglin created a nurturing, family-style environment—complete with home-cooked meals, loving care, and a generous heart. She often went above and beyond by sponsoring activities and waiving tuition for families experiencing financial hardship.
Ms. Anglin returned to IHDC in May 2023 as a Lead Teacher, bringing her years of wisdom, compassion, and a ministry-minded spirit. She continues to lead with grace, aiming to reflect the love of Jesus Christ in all she does
