E202 From Research to Recess: A Bold Leap into Child Care with Mayosha Mendis 06/24/2025

E202 From Research to Recess: A Bold Leap into Child Care with Mayosha Mendis Changing careers is never easy—especially when it means leaving behind a high-paying, high-prestige profession to start something entirely new. But for our guest on Episode 202 of the Child Care Genius Podcast, it was a decision fueled by purpose. Mayosha Mendis, a former cancer researcher and EPA scientist, made the bold leap into early childhood education after becoming a mom—and realizing the kind of care she wanted for her own daughter simply didn’t exist. Tune in to this episode as Brian and Carol sit down with Mayosha to explore her inspiring journey from the science lab to the preschool classroom. You’ll hear how her early experiences as a parent shaped her vision, why her center had a waitlist within just six months, and how she’s now building an expanded program complete with a gourmet kitchen, outdoor learning spaces, and a curriculum designed to nourish both mind and body. Listen in as Mayosha opens up about the challenges of ownership—what she wishes more child care providers understood about financials, why thinking like a business owner is essential, and how being part of the Childcare Genius University coaching program helped her fast-track success and avoid costly missteps. If you’ve ever questioned whether you’re cut out for this, or wondered if it’s possible to lead with both heart and business sense, Mayosha’s story is one you need to hear. She’s proof that even with a completely different background, you can learn the ropes, face the challenges, and build something truly meaningful—one step, one lesson, and one big dream at a time.
