EuropaKids Team

Nicole Chaudry - Owner nicole@EuropaKids.com
Nicole is a native German who is fluent in English and Polish and has a basic knowledge of French. After attending the "Johan Wolfgang Goethe Universität" in Frankfurt Germany and traveling to places like Africa, Asia and Central America she moved to Seattle Washington with her husband. As most native Europeans know, Nicole has seen how fast young children become bilingual and trilingual in a home environment. Nicole earned her Child Development Associate degree (CDA) and is currently pursuing a further degree in Early Childhood Education. She was raised trilingual in Europe and has always made this a priority in the life of the EuropaKids program, which her own child attends as well.

Colin Wiggins - Director and Owner
Colin is a native English speaker who has multiple university degrees in International Business,German, Spanish, French and Japanese languages. Colin's mother is a British citizen and his unique international family gave him the opportunity to spent his childhood traveling through Europe visiting various family members. After returning to the USA after an extended period of time in Germany, Colin, along with his wife, Nicole, decided to spread their love of languages and culture to the families of Seattle by opening up EuropaKids. A proud father of Nigel (who is very busy learning his third language at age 3) Colin truly loves what he does and couldn't imagine life any other way!

Marianne Meanny - German Teacher

Marianne was born and raised in Darmstadt (near Frankfurt), Germany, where she attended school with a multitude of different nationality classmates. After moving to the US, she ran her own home-based daycare for about 2 years in California before returning to Germany again. She finally settled in Washington state to raise her 3 sons and has been a resident of West Seattle for the past 2 years.

Our Directors and Instructors truly love what they do and it shows! Our teachers come from a variety of countries and backgrounds but they all have a few things in common—they absolutely love working with children and they are 100% committed to being the best language instructors possible!

Our Teachers are Highly Trained

Each member of the EuropaKids family goes through a rigorous training program to ensure that your little ones are in the best hands possible. Most EuropaKids teachers are native speakers of their language and we encourage them to put their own cultural spin on introducing your child to their new world. Slight differences in tone or vocabulary help you child develop a real appreciation for the beauty of each language. Not only is it important for our teachers to be nurturing and sensitive to your child’s needs, it is imperative that they receive recurrent training in bilingual education, early childhood development, and child safety related issues.

Forming a Bond with your Family

EuropaKids' teachers share a special bond with you and your family that many other childcare providers are envious of. Learning a second or third language at such an early age is a tremendous achievement. Our teachers are there to be your partner in your child’s language adventure and to ensure that the communication between us is both inspiring and productive

Low Teacher to Student Ratios

Our low teacher to student ratio is one of many reasons why EuropaKids is the best way for your child to start their bilingual journey. Each teacher has the time to really focus on each individual and their unique needs and learning styles.
