We’re thrilled to spotlight Ms. Nicole, one of our amazing Montessori guides at Peak Ave Montessori! With over a decade of teaching experience, Ms. Nicole brings warmth, expertise, and a deep commitment to authentic Montessori education.
Since 2010, she’s dedicated her career to nurturing joyful, peaceful classrooms where children feel valued and capable. Ms. Nicole holds AMI credentials for both the Infant-Toddler and Primary age groups, along with a Master’s in Education and an Inclusive Education Diploma—proof of her passion for lifelong learning and inclusive practices.
One of the Montessori principles closest to her heart is respect for the child. Whether it’s a moment of laughter, a spark of curiosity, or a quiet connection, she treasures the relationships built in the classroom and the joy that comes with them.
Outside of school, Ms. Nicole is all about adventure! She enjoys free diving in Monterey, hiking with her family, and soaking up the natural world. Fun fact: she spent ten years living in Japan, where she taught at a Montessori preschool—an experience that continues to shape her global perspective on education.
Ms. Nicole is so excited to be part of the Morgan Hill community and can’t wait to help bring our Peak Ave Montessori classrooms to life with peace, connection, and curiosity at the heart of it all.
