About Nicki



 


My name is Nicki Calfee and I am thrilled to be spending my second year as a head teacher with BMS, again with the 1B class!  There's something particularly special to me about the type of person and student children are at this age.  Between the rapidly developing physical and verbal skills, the fervent honesty displayed, and the fierce emotions shared, toddlers make some of the most exciting and fun students to collaborate and learn with. 

I was born and raised in St. Louis, MO and will always be a Midwesterner at heart.  At an early age I began dancing, singing, and acting. Because of my lasting and deeply rooted love for these art forms, I went on to obtain a BFA in Musical Theater from Syracuse University.  There's something special my theater degree has given me that allows me to freely play with and engage children. 

Now that I’ve decided to teach, I am currently working towards my master’s degree in Early Childhood, Special and General Education.  Once finished with my degree I look forward to continuing my teaching career in addition to working with adults (both teachers and parents), working to improve the ways children are respected and valued as very capable and unique individuals.   

I also enjoy photography, hiking, riding my bike along the Hudson, going to the movies, baking, and sewing! The beautiful blonde featured above is my fraternal twin sister - my partner in crime!
