Center Director
Tijuana Tollaman
Administrative Director
Coming from a large family, I have always enjoyed being a mentor to my nieces and nephews. Whetherthat means doing fun stuff, helping them with schoolwork, or just being a voice of reason. This inspiredme to embark on a career path that helps shape young minds. Since 2017 I have worked with every agegroup at Apple Seed Private School and gained a lot of information and techniques vital to teaching thechildren left in our care. As the curriculum director, I am eager to implement the lesson plans and proudto be the first stepping stone in our kids educational journey. I am honored to be a part of such anenriching and attentive staff, and very excited to do my best to continue in helping this school thrive.
I started my journey with Apple Seed in the infant classroom in 2011, and now I’m the director of the
school. Since then, I’ve had the chance to develop as a kindergarten, preschool, and infants teacher, as
well as a current administrator. Education, safety, and a positive experience are very important to me,
so I work hard to make Apple Seed more than just a childcare facility. I want it to be a place where
families feel loved, safe, and have access to resources to learn. To be a part of this amazing journey is
such a privilege.
