My name is Nicole Szczesny and I am so excited to be a part of the Genius Kids family. Early Childhood Education has always been my calling and passion. I possess many years of experience educating the young. I have worked in private and public-school settings as an intern, then assistant, and finally teacher. I also have experience as a nanny, homeschool teacher, and tutor so I understand and take the personal nurturing aspect of education very seriously.

I hold a degree in Educational Studies with an emphasis in Early Childhood Education, and as a lifelong learner myself I am actively pursuing my Masters. My experience and schooling have taught me that all students can learn and everyone learns differently. I take pride in being able to differentiate my instruction to reach all students and help them succeed. One of my greatest goals as an educator is witnessing my students progress socially, emotionally, and academically while realizing they are capable of amazing things.

In my spare time I love spending time with my family, husband and two boys. We like to hike, play games, and eat yummy food, chocolate is my favorite! I enjoy relaxing with a good book as well as experiencing new adventures. My door is always open and please do not ever hesitate to contact me.

I am a mother of four, which has given me invaluable hands-on experience in caring for and understanding young children. Currently, I hold the position of an infant teacher, and I can honestly say that working with this age group is incredibly rewarding. Infants are at a crucial stage of their development, beginning to learn, explore, and form their unique personalities.

Every day, I am inspired by their curiosity and growth. Watching them discover the world around them and develop their skills is a profound source of joy and fulfillment for me. My career as an infant teacher not only brings me immense satisfaction but also a deep sense of accomplishment. Each interaction with my little students reinforces my passion for early childhood education and drives me to continue supporting and nurturing their early developmental milestones.
