Nicole D.

I am a Montessori teacher and child development specialist born and raised in New York City, with nearly two decades of experience working with and caring for children from birth to age ten. I am an AMI and MACTE certified Montessori teacher with an AMI certification for children ages 3-6, and a MACTE certification for infants and toddlers from birth to age 3. For the last few years I have worked as the lead guide in a toddler class at a prestigious Montessori school in Toronto, Canada.
Teaching toddlers formally in a Montessori classroom has cemented my passion for child development and Montessori ethos. I am interested in helping individual families set up their homes and nurseries to best aid in their infant and childs development, and consulting and aiding them in creating individualized Montessori-inspired routines, lesson plans, and activities for their children.

I and am creative, kind, and present with each child, but also understand the importance of setting firm boundaries.

Alongside my passion for childcare and child development, I am also a musician with a joy for sharing music with children and believe in its importance as an aid for language development. I sing in multiple languages and play a variety of instruments and love playing music for and with children of all ages.
