Toni Pennington
Professional Mentor
Hello, my name is Ms. Toni! I am so excited to be part of Friends of the Children–Philadelphia and to be a FRIEND!
I have worked with children for many years, including over 10 years as a Spanish teacher in both public and private schools. I also teach learn-to-ice-skate classes, which is always so much fun! I love working with kids of all ages and especially enjoy building strong, caring relationships while helping them learn, grow, and shine.
In my spare time, I enjoy playing the violin, ice skating, sewing, painting, and outdoor sports. I also love exploring new places, baking tasty treats, and reading good books. I’m a big animal lover and have three dogs and three cats who keep life fun and busy!
Family is very important to me, and I even have a twin sister. I am so excited to get to know you and your child, and I’m looking forward to being a part of your child's journey and supporting them every step of the way.
