Meet Your Instructor
Nicole Mercer
Tallahassee, Florida
Nicole Mercer is passionate about empowering parents and educators with skills and information that allow them to bring the best of who they are to classroom and home. She has been integrating and practicing the skills of Conscious Discipline in her personal and work life since 2003. Nicole was an early childhood teacher for 15 years and has worked with elementary age children through summer camps and substitute teaching during the school year. Her passion for positive learning environments for children led to the opening of her preschool in 2006. Nicole infused Conscious Discipline® (CD) into her curriculum because it offered positive solutions for the struggles she faced as a mother of two young girls, teacher, mentor, and administrator. After four successful years of watching children, teachers, parents, and her daughters choose a better way through CD, she took the next step and became a Conscious Discipline® Certified Instructor in 2009.Kenedria Thurman
