I have known Nikki Westover for many years. First, as a high school student working part time in our school, this continued during her college years as well, until we had the good fortune to hire her as a full time preschool teacher at our school. I worked with her in this preschool setting where I saw first hand what a loving, nurturing, conscientious, hard working educated person she is. Nikki is now home with her own two little ones, and what lucky little ones they are. She is not only a stay at home Mom, but a stay at home teacher! Nikki knows what children need and she offers daily activities to meet these needs. She knows how important it is for children to learn through play and while doing what they are capable of and love, and she provides these experiences and opportunities in a safe loving family setting. Nikki is a natural at being a Mom and a teacher. Her children benefit from this because she knows the developmental cognitive, social and physical needs of children. Your child/children will benefit too if they are lucky enough to have Nikki as a caregiver.
