Teacher Nikki (Chef & Assistant Teacher)-6 Years with The Good Life

Teacher Nikki has worked in childcare for over 20 years. Her very first job was working at a day care in my hometown Stevenson, followed by being a nanny, and continuing my passion for working with children ever since. Teacher Nikki first met us at The Good Life when she registered her oldest daughter to join us in 2018! Soon after we asked her to join our teaching team and serve as a lead Chef! She has now been with the Good Life for six years in the roles as Chef and Assistant Teacher across both locations.

Outside of work, Nikki enjoys spending time with her three children, going to the beach, exploring new places, kayaking, hiking, and cozying up with a good movie.

“Both my two daughters have been part of The Good Life and I am so appreciative of what our school and philosophy has taught them. I absolutely love the Montessori philosophy focusing on fostering a child’s independence, and helping children navigate through all their emotions, and inspiring and encouraging their curiosity of the world around them.”

Teacher Nikki is an essential part of our community. From creating delicious recipes to offering comforting story times to supporting children through big feelings with her calm presence, she brings warmth, flexibility, and joy to every classroom she enters.
