Nikki Parker, Kindergarten Teaching Partner

Nikki Parker earned her Bachelor’s degree from the University of Virginia and completed her Master’s in Elementary Education in 2025 through Grand Canyon University.

While finishing her graduate program, she substitute taught at The Exploris School and quickly realized it was a community she didn’t want to leave. After graduating, she was excited to officially join the team. She strives to create a classroom environment that is warm, engaging, and rooted in curiosity.

A Seattle native who has spent the past several years on the East Coast, Nikki enjoys hiking local trails, spending time with her two dogs and cat, exploring family-owned restaurants, and thrifting whenever she gets the chance.
