Meet the Owners - Jaci walker & Nikole Tucker
Jaci and Nikole opened Enriched Beginnings Learning Center on 57th in April 2024 in response to the community’s pressing need for high-quality childcare. Together, they are dedicated to creating a safe, nurturing, and welcoming environment for the families and children they serve.
Both Jaci and Nikole share a core belief: by investing in their educators, they empower teachers to provide the highest level of care, support, and education to every child. This vision drives their daily work and fuels their passion for early learning.
Jaci takes great joy in witnessing the professional growth and success of her team, knowing that strong, supported educators directly impact the children in their care. You will often find her working behind the scenes to ensure smooth operations, supporting leadership, and fostering a positive workplace culture.
Nikole focuses on social media and curriculum development, always with an emphasis on supporting the teaching team. She is committed to creating tools, resources, and systems that make educators’ lives easier and classrooms more engaging.
Working hand in hand, Jaci and Nikole are united in their mission to make EBLC a place where staff feel valued, families feel supported, and children can thrive.
