Rosa Mattress, Founder and President of Bright Eyes Kindergarten, Inc.. |
Rosa, E. Mattress, President and FounderRosa is one of 14 children, born to Mrs. Dorothy Harrison and the late Rev. W.A. Harrison. She grew up in a Christian home on a multi-acreage farm where she first learned the importance of showing love and the value of hard work. As she grew older she was faced with many challenges. Placing God first in all that she wanted and needed, Rosa overcame the odds to find success.Undecided about a career, she applied for and was offered a position at a very reputable corporation in the Upstate. When this job came to a sudden end, Rosa was faced with yet another challenge. As a single parent, how would she make ends meet? After much brainstorming, she decided to open her heart and her home to care for children. With just 2 children enrolled, Rosa transformed her living room and spare bedroom into an in-home daycare – evolving Ms. Rosa’s Daycare! She trusted that God would continue to provide. And He did! Ms. Rosa not only gained much needed love from God’s children but she also gained a new found love for special needs children. Working around the clock (1 st, 2 nd, & 3 rd shifts), Ms. Rosa is more than willing to accommodate any schedule. She prides herself in offering affordable childcare. In 2005, again God opened another door by providing her with resources to start Bright Eyes Kindergarten, Inc. and just 3 years later she is excited to see Bright Eyes transform from a part-time after-school program to a licensed full-time private K2-K4 program. Ms. Rosa receives daily referrals from colleagues, proud parents and DSS. With her in-home daycare at full capacity, she is now able to refer potential students to Bright Eyes Kindergarten. Through hard work, perseverance, and determination, Ms. Rosa is ready to make a leap for tomorrow. She brings to the table years of expertise in caring for children. Ms. Rosa is the proud parent of 2 adult children and 7 grandchildren … plus all the others who come by way of childcare. Christine Donaldson, Director |
