Tommy Lin

Founder / PRINCIPAL

Master in early childhood education
Bachelor of science in finance

The journey into early childhood education began quite unexpectedly. With a Bachelor of Science in Finance, Tommy initially embarked on a career in the banking sector. He spent several years working in a bank, managing financial portfolios and helping clients achieve their financial goals. However, a casual conversation with his wife sparked his interest in exploring deeper into the field of Early Education.

Driven by this newfound passion, Tommy decided to pivot his career. He proceeded to earn a Master’s degree in Early Childhood Education from San Francisco State University. Over the next five years, Tommy honed his skills and gained invaluable experience working in reputable schools, where he witnessed firsthand the profound impact that quality early education can have on a child’s development.

Inspired by his journey and driven by a desire to make a difference, Tommy decided to start his own childcare center with his wife and like-minded individuals. With five years of managing experience in the education field and as a father of two, Tommy brings a wealth of knowledge and passion to Dolphin Stars Childcare.

Therefore, Dolphin Stars is a place for people who truly care about children’s well-being and support their growth on their journey. We are educators, researchers, and observers dedicated to nurturing and guiding children. Tommy’s unique background and unwavering commitment to early education make Dolphin Stars a special place where every child can thrive.
