Nicole Morelos - Lead Teacher
Ms. Nicole was born and raised in beautiful Santa Barbara. Santa Barbara is where she found her passion for working with children, which she started at a young age. When she wasn’t playing water polo after school, she was babysitting the neighborhood kids. Her love for children continued to grow as she started working at Cathedral Oaks Athletic Club where she worked in the childcare and as a swim instructor. She loved her time there and all the relationships she built there with the families.
Ms. Nicole graduated from California State University, Chico with a bachelor’s degree in Communication Studies and a minor in Health Promotion. After graduating, she decided to be an au pair since she loves to travel and work with children. She spent three months in Santander, Spain as an au pair for two boys (5 and 2 years old). She fell in love with the Spanish culture and the children she shared it with.
Ms. Nicole’s continued passion for working with children led her to go back to school to receive her certificate in Early Childhood Education.
