A Better Day Christian Learning Center

Our Teachers

Brigitte Willis, Owner and Operator

Brigitte Willis has been operating a family childcare learning home for over 2 years and is married to a US Army retiree. She has a son who graduated from high school in May 2020 and moved here in 2009 from Charlotte, NC. A former business major at Appalachian State University in Boone, NC, she has held management positions at Petro Express, Circle K, Family Dollar, and The Home Depot. Brigitte says, “I quickly realized that I needed to earn a certain level of income just to pay for childcare. I tried to juggle working 60+ hours per week to pay for childcare but had to rethink how to be present with my son. I made the hard decision to focus on the success and stability of my son’s continuity of care and put my career goals on a hold. I immersed myself in the Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) and served on many district and state superintendent’s Parent Advisory Councils (PAC).” Brigitte is very passionate about keeping families and peers informed of opportunities to advocate for quality care and networking to build bridges with society at large. She says, “Remember that you are your BEST advocate!”

Philosophy

At A Better Day Christian Learning Center I strive to provide a loving and safe environment that will allow all children to develop socially, educationally, physically, and mentally.  I believe that children learn through play and I provide them with opportunities to learn based on their individual strengths and interests through the play based curriculum Funshine Express. I pay close attention to details, and communicate daily with all of the parents that I serve.
