Alicia was born in Colorado and grew up in Texas. She often visited New Orleans and quickly fell in love with its people, culture, and everything the city had to offer. Her husband, who is originally from England, was drawn to New Orleans’ European charm, and together they decided it was the perfect place to begin their life together.
Teaching has always been a central part of Alicia’s life, something she’s been passionate about for as long as she can remember. As a child, she was known as the neighborhood babysitter, developing a natural love for caring for children early on. It came as no surprise when she chose to turn that passion into a career and pursue a degree in education. Alicia graduated cum laude from the University of Houston with a B.S. in Interdisciplinary Studies, focusing on Early Childhood through 6th Grade. After graduation, she joined Kipling Street Academy, where she taught Pre-K 4 for five years.
Alicia has always been committed to helping children grow into confident, capable individuals. Her desire to make a lasting impact led her to open her own childcare and preschool, where she ensures that every child in every classroom has the opportunity to learn in the way that suits them best.
When she’s not in the classroom, Alicia enjoys spending time with her husband, reading, crafting, running, and sampling the many wonderful foods New Orleans has to offer.
She has a special gift for making children and parents feel comfortable and at ease in her presence. I’m honored and grateful that we have had her in our lives. I can’t think of anyone more qualified to work in childcare.” – Dr. Emily Vigour King, MD
