Meet Teacher Nikki


Meet TEACHER NIKKI!



Hi, my name is Nikki Delaney. I'm excited to join the Wonder Studio team and share my love of art and science with local families! I'm originally from Vermont. After attending MIT, I moved to Boulder, CO to go to graduate school and ended up staying for 20 years. I moved to Saint Pete in 2011 to start a family with my husband Claudio. Our son, Lucas, will soon be 5.

Trained as scientist, I've always been an artist and teacher at heart as well. In 2006, I followed my passion and began designing exhibits and educational programs at WOW! Children's Museum in Lafayette, CO. I was also the Education Director at Great Explorations Children's Museum for about a year before taking maternity leave. I gave up my position there when we decided to accept a project offered to Claudio in his native country, Chile. We were fortunate to spend a couple of years near his large family and Lucas and I really got to polish our Spanish skills!

I first learned about the Wonder Studio while seeking places for my son to continue practicing Spanish. From Shannon's blogs and photos I could tell immediately that she was providing quality child led explorations. I know from my work in children's museums how empowering and validating these experiences are for young children and I want to be a part of it! I love that the classes give children a chance to act on their innate urges to experiment and learn and I love that the Wonder Studio provides a judgment-free zone that supports parents and encourages taking time to meet our children where they are and following them in their discovery.

I look forward to working with you and your child(ren) in exploring with our senses and creating meaning with self-expression!

Calendar for Classes:

Saturdays: 10am – 11am
