I'm Nicole Connell, an Educational Therapist and Mentor.

Although some kids prefer to call me their personal learning fairy goddess mother :)

I design educational programs to help children:

• Become who they truly are

• Develop a strong sense of self-understanding

• Build empowered confidence

• Prepare for the world they’ll be living in—as best we can

​My goal is to support each child as a unique individual—encouraging both their personal growth and their readiness for an ever-changing world. 

At the core, I support children in being seen for who they are, honored for their uniqueness, and supported in their growth.

To me, true education is about more than just academic achievement; it's about attuning to the needs of the whole child, nurturing each child's unique gifts and helping children to not just learn well but be well. 

My love of kids and desire to help them thrive led me to get a Bachelor’s Degree in human development, a Master’s Degree in education with a thesis on self-compassion and a certificate in educational therapy. I draw upon my background as a day camp counselor and director, teacher, and educational therapist to create nurturing, transformative and fun experiences for the children and teens that I work with.

​

I’m deeply passionate about personalized, customized learning because traditional schooling doesn’t work for every child. There’s a special magic that happens when kids are not only supported through their challenges but also recognized for their unique brilliance.

I greatly value creativity, empowerment, co-creation, empathy, innovation, design thinking and fun. I bring all of this into my work which creates unique educational experiences where kids feel seen, heard, supported and excited to work with me.

I love what I do and am so grateful to have the opportunity to support and be a constant source of encouragement for so many amazing children and teens!
