Get to Know Us
We offer all types of classes, programs and events for families in Branch, Calhoun, Hillsdale, & Jackson County! Specifically for kids ages 3 Months - 17 years, with a heavy focus on early education for children under the age of 5.
The goal is to open our very own space centered around Family Learning! This will be a place that families can take programs or classes together, or parents can rest easy while their kiddo has some educated fun!

An Educational Journey
Hello! My name is Nikki and I have been on an educational journey my whole life, but haven't we all? I graduated college in Illinois with a degree in communications & art. I also have a degree in theatre and over 10 years of teaching experience with a variety of categories.
I decided to open Ms. Nikki's Noodle Studio because of my son, AKA the light of my life! I want more time with him and knew I had a place in our community. It took me over a year to figure out where. After years of working multiple programs for park districts in Illinois, I thought, "Why not Michigan?" I want to see something like the park district programs in Illinois blossom here. So let's see where this gets us!
With all of this combined experience and the many resources we have today, (and of course becoming a mother) I was able to develop programs that offer education hidden behind imaginative play! Along with many other niche classes, prep courses, and programs for kids and families.
​
I truly can't wait to see our littles grow and learn new things!
Education & Program Development:
During & after college I balanced 4 part-time educational program jobs, and one full-time Lead Preschool Teaching position. I also served as the Curriculum Developer for our county's after-school programs for ages 3-80!
​
Visual Arts & Crafts:
Art has alway been a part of my life. So much so that I accidentally minored in it. I have taught several classes around painting, crafting, drawing, and more!
​
The Performing Arts:
I have performed in over 20 productions, directed 5 children's productions and taught many classes from improv to audition practice.
