WHERE MINDSET MEETS MOMENTUM
From Faith to Financial Freedom — Meet LaShon Carter
I went from serving families in early childhood education to becoming an entrepreneur, learning how to build credit, grow businesses, and create opportunities when none were handed to me.
With my husband and children by my side, we launched Tiny Tigers Family Daycare from our home — and grew it into Tiny Tigers Learning Center, a community-loved childcare center nominated five times for Best Daycare in Chattanooga.
When the world shifted during the pandemic, I shifted too — launching The EDU-Station, a vibrant platform helping parents and educators bring joy, structure, and learning back into their homes and classrooms.
Now, I teach entrepreneurs — especially childcare providers — how to build business credit, manage money wisely, create profitable products, and step fully into the purpose God has placed on their life.
I believe financial literacy is freedom.
And I’m here to show you how to build, grow, and sustain the business God called you to create.
Respect your breath.
