Nicole, Director

With over two decades in education, I have always loved working with children and earned my Bachelors and Masters in Education from NMSU. I’ve taught at NMSU’s lab school and progressed to Lead Educator at Google Children’s Centers, and taught at Stanford’s Bing School before returning to Google to work as an educator and later program manager. I’m passionate about play based learning, believing it’s essential for fostering creativity, problem-solving and social development. Now, as the director at Wild At Learning, I’m dedicated to creating a joyful, hands-on learning community

Christanie, Teacher

Hello! My name is Christanie (pronounced Krista-knee). I am new to Albuquerque, originally from Las Cruces. I attended NMSU completing a bachelors degree in Communication Studies and Creative writing and Masters Degree in Family and Child Sciences emphasis in Teaching, Research and Administration.

Hello, my name is Jessyca. I’ve been a pre-k teacher for two years and I’m excited to begin learning and growing with you and your child. I love teaching and can’t wait to meet everyone and create a supportive and safe classroom. ​

Erica, Owner I have always had a deep passion for working with children and creating spaces where creativity, curiosity, and confidence can thrive. As the owner of Wild at Art, I have spent years building community through creative expression and hands-on learning. Wild at Learning was made possible with the support of my amazing partner who helped bring this vision to life, and every day I am inspired by my three incredible daughters, who motivate me to work harder and dream bigger for the next generation. I am deeply dedicated to creating a high-quality, nurturing program that prepares children ages 3–5 for kindergarten success while supporting families and strengthening the local community.

Filosofía

At Wild at Learning, we offer a play based, child led curriculum that views the whole child (cognitive, social, emotional, physical) and ensure that their time here is a time of wonder, curiosity, and boundless potential. Our philosophy is rooted in the understanding that children learn best when they are actively engaged, emotionally supported, and encouraged to explore the world around them. We embrace a play-based, child-centered approach that nurtures cognitive, social, emotional, and physical development, recognizing each child as a unique learner with individual strengths and interests. We strive to use those recognized strengths and interests to grow their functional skills and kindergarten readiness to make sure they are ready for their next steps when leaving Wild At Learning.

We strive to create independence by giving children opportunities to make choices, solve problems, and take responsibility for their learning. We foster a safe, inclusive, and stimulating environment where children can take risks, make decisions, and learn from their experiences. Our educators serve as guides, collaborators, and role models, encouraging creativity, critical thinking, and a lifelong love of learning.

We also partner with families to ensure continuity between home and school, building strong relationships that support the growth of the whole child.

Ubicación
