Kaleidoscope Kids Wonderschool

Our Teachers

Hi, I’m Sekia, a passionate educator whose life’s work includes illuminating the lives of children. After traveling 3,300 miles from Maryland to Southern California, I’m delighted to announce I’m opening my own family daycare facility.

In my early teen years, I often worked with the younger neighborhood children to make up dance routines, and participate in dramatic play and art activities. I always dreamed of working in a child care center and volunteered at the family child care center across the the culdesac. When I was old enough, I obtained a workers permit to work at the child care center up the street.

In 2002, I attended college for Early Childhood Education at Morgan State University in Baltimore, Maryland. There I learned the fundamentals of working with students Kindergarten though 6th grade, and I have been working with children ever since.

Currently I’m enrolled at Northcentral University for my Masters of Education specializing in Special Education. My anticipated graduation date is June, 2020.

My goal is to continuously gain knowledge about how to meet the needs of children. Through what I learn I plan to implement structures so all students may achieve their academic potential. Outside of my professional life, I enjoy spending time with my fiancé and my two-year-old son. I call them, “The Kevin’s.” I also love spending time outdoors being one with nature!

Children will spend time outdoors every day in my private patio, as well as the spacious courtyard. Connecting with nature lets children gain deeper knowledge of themselves and the world.
