Taylor Sekach
School Director
I’ve been with Cadence since April 2014, starting in the classroom and working my way up to School Director. I love that my role still allows me to pop into classrooms, connect with the children, and build strong relationships with families. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my husband, our three children, and our two dogs. We stay active with sports and love being outdoors as much as possible.
