Children are our number one priority and their safety is our first and foremost concern. When students reach our facility parent receive a text or e-mail alert to let them know their child has arrived at Ms. Nichole's. This one of a kind system gives our parents peace of mind.
Once the children arrive at Ms. Nichole's they rotate around our 10,500 sq. ft. facility in an age appropriate group. A typical day at Ms. Nichole consists of: group game in our gym, outside play, homework with a certified tutor, curriculum projects, afternoon snack, and play time in our playroom which includes eight different centers.
