Our Teachers

Nikiea, the heart of Tiny Little Wonder’s, brings both passion and dedication to her role as an educator. She has experience caring for children through informal babysitting and continues to grow her expertise while working toward her Bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education. Parents consistently share how much they see her love and commitment to the children, providing not only academic support but also the kind of quality attention and care that makes every child feel special.

As a teacher, she approaches each child as if they were her own, supporting them through every stage of their academic and personal development. Her dedication, patience, and genuine connection with children make her an invaluable guide during these early years.

Philosophy

Our philosophy is rooted in the Montessori approach, where learning is child-centered, hands-on, and designed to spark independence and a love of learning. We believe children flourish when given opportunities to explore, discover, and make choices within a structured yet flexible environment.

At Nikiea’s Place, we:

•   Encourage children to learn at their own pace.
•   Foster independence, responsibility, and confidence.
•   Provide mixed-age group settings to encourage peer learning and mentorship.
•   Work in close partnership with families to align care and education with each child’s needs.

Our goal is to nurture the whole child—academically, socially, and emotionally—while ensuring they feel safe, loved, and empowered to succeed.

Location

We are located near local schools and parks in the area.

About our program

At Tiny Little Wonder’s in Southfield, children thrive in a warm, nurturing, and welcoming setting that encourages growth and discovery. Our program is built around hands-on experiences that inspire creativity, confidence, and curiosity. By mixing age groups, we create an enriching environment where children can learn from and with one another, fostering social, emotional, and academic growth at every stage of development.

We take pride in providing a safe, supportive space where children feel at home and parents feel confident in the care their little ones receive. Our flexible schedule allows us to partner closely with families, ensuring that every child’s unique needs are met.
