Tontra Love is so glad to call Sequoia home. She has been teaching for over 25 years. She loves transitional kindergarten, and has taught kindergarten and 1st grade in a few different school districts at both public and private schools. She is a proud parent of two Sequoia alumni. She believes that childhood is a journey, not a race. Academics and social emotional growth go hand in hand, and Sequoia is a fun place to discover, share and learn.
Welcome to a world of discovery where childhood is a journey, not a race.
