After training for two years, she had to start her own venture.
Madam Charlotte said she started sewing clothes in her living room and got some clients from her mother's friends and sister.
However, after changing locations due to getting married, she lost all her clients and was back to square one and was left home alone with her baby.
The idea to switch professions
She decided then to make good use of the space in the house, and that was when the idea to start a pre-school was birthed.
Mrs Tachie-Menson mentioned she believed doing that would also solve the problem of being alone in the house always.
The decision led her to taking a short course in model nursery training school to learn how to properly take care of babies, which took four months to complete.
The school was eventually established and has been successfully operating for 18 years.
Madam Charlotte had a lot more to say about her journey to owning a pre-school.
