Welcome to 4-Year-Old Preschool!
I would like to take a moment to introduce myself and let you know a little about me. My name is Nicole Duncan, and I am beyond excited to be your child’s teacher. This will be my seventh year working at St. Thecla. If you ask anyone that knows me, they will tell you I absolutely love working in preschool. Each child has found a special place in my heart, and they teach me as much as I teach them.
I received my Bachelor’s Degree in Elementary Education from Wayne State University. When I am not at school with your children, you will typically find me with my family. I am married to my High School Sweetheart, Jason. We have three amazing daughters Ava (17), Ally (15), and Charlotte (11). All three of my girls attended St. Thecla since preschool. We love it here! We enjoy any time we get to spend as a family, whether it be on vacation or even time at home. We also love spending time with our very large extended family. I love being a preschool teacher, shopping, cooking, exercising, and researching new ideas to try in class.
My goal as your children’s teacher is to instill the LOVE of learning in each of them. I want your children to love coming to school each day. I want them to not be afraid to be wrong or make a mistake and have the confidence to speak and share in class each day. I want your children to strengthen their love and relationship with God. I want your children to come home and be excited to teach everyone about the things they learned in class each day. I want learning to be fun and exciting for them. I want them to know they are special. I also want you, as parents, to feel comfortable talking to me and contacting me any time you have a question or concern. We are a team, and communication is truly a must. Our classroom is a family, and my goal is that you and your child both feel part of that.
It is going to be a great school year! I can’t wait for our first day!!!
Blessings,
Mrs. Nicole Duncan
