Ducklings Westtown

Nicole Frees, Ed.D. is a proud member of the Ducklings Family and has been the owner of Ducklings ELC, Westtown for three years. She is a former Ducklings employee, current parent (two ducks enrolled) and educational leader. Nicole has her doctorate in Educational Leadership, a Master’s Degree in Special Education, and her Bachelor’s Degree in Early Childhood and Elementary Education. She is an educational leader with experience as a teacher, instructional coach, service coordinator, and instructional consultant. However, being a mom and wife is her greatest joy and accomplishment.

Nicole grew up in Chester County and always dreamt of opening a daycare but never wanted to compete with Ducklings because she believed in their philosophy and approach to learning. After her second son was born she discovered that franchising was an option. She and her husband, Kyle, knew this was the next step for their family. With his support and encouragement her dream became reality when she took ownership of Ducklings Westtown in 2021.
