Ms. Nicole

ImageI have been teaching at Christots in the infant/toddler room since the Spring of 2006 and was a nanny for 3 years for a family with 3 young boys at Lake Quivira before I came to Christots.  I have completed my infant/toddler Montessori training. The innocence of a child is so wonderful. It is so fun watching the children learning and growing each day.
