Meet Our Director, Nichet Antoine
Hello, I'm Nichet Antoine. I have more than 20 years of experience in early education, including roles as a kindergarten and first-grade teacher, as well as Preschool Director. I hold a Bachelor of Science Degree in Business Administration and a Master of Science in Business Administration (MBA) with a concentration in Management.
I’m proud to be the mother of two amazing adult daughters and a wonderful grandson. In my free time, I love spending time with my family, including my shih tzu, Maurice.
Originally from Michigan, I now call Decatur, Georgia home. I’m excited to be part of The Sunshine House and look forward to building strong relationships with the staff, families, and the Decatur community.
