My name is Brandy Nielsen, I am the lead teacher here at SICP! I was born and raised in Olympia! We moved to Oregon about 7 years ago where I graduated with honors from Portland State University in Child, Youth, and Family studies. After I graduated we decided to come back home. Now I am lucky enough to teach here! I am a strong believer that children are great natural learners, and it is my job to figure out how to keep the school environment constantly interesting and engaging. My biggest strength that I bring is my strong connection to social emotional development. I am dedicated to your children coming out the other side of preschool ready to thrive as they continue on their journey. I also want this to be an amazing experience for you as parents. One way I do this is to have an open door policy. We truly believe that team work makes the dream work, and we are happy to let parents be a part of that team.
When I am not at the preschool, the rest of my time is dedicated to my own family. I have been married for over 16 years and together my husband and I are raising three wonderful children.
