Our Staff: Preschool Teachers
Nicole Bonaccolto
Hi! My name is Nicole Bonaccolto and this is my second year at Artisan. I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Early Childhood Education and currently working on my Master’s Degree in Special Education. I have seven years of experience working with children and absolutely love what I do! In previous years I have worked with elementary age children, specifically kindergarten to third grade age groups. I have a passion for working with preschool age because I love being involved in the early stages of learning to promote a love of learning and lifelong skills. Not only will the children learn each and every day but I will learn something from each one of them. I am so excited for the new school year to begin and see the growth and development in the Rossini classroom!
Julie Campbell
Hello. My name is Julie Campbell. I have lived in the Boston area my whole life. As early as elementary school I knew I wanted to be a teacher. After graduating from high school, I acquired my Associate's degree in Early Childhood Education and then it was on to earning my Bachelors degree in Early Childhood Education. I have over 30 years experience and love working with children of all ages however, my expertise is with preschool age. This year will be my fifth year at Artisan. My passion for literature is something I will share with the classroom. I enjoy telling stories orally, using puppets, a story apron or a story glove. Math, science, music, and art are also incorporated into the curriculum. In my free time I enjoy watching sports including the New England Patriots and the Boston Bruins.
Rachel Taylor
Hi I'm Rachel Taylor and I am an assistant teacher at the Newton location. I've been at Artisan since Fall 2017, and I have enjoyed getting to know the families and staff here. I had three years of experience working in a preschool setting prior to coming to Artisan. I am currently attending Lasell University for my Bachelor's degree in education with a minor in Spanish, while I work part-time at both Artisan and a photography studio. In my free time I raise bunnies, photograph wildlife, and do sewing projects.
Lauren Fraser
Hello, everyone! My name is Lauren Fraser and I joined the Artisan team in April of 2021. I have worked with children of all ages, from infancy through middle school, since 2013. As a teacher, I love being a part of the learning process! I also enjoy working closely with the families of my children and supporting them in any way I can.
In 2015, I graduated from the University of New Hampshire with a bachelor’s degree in Human Development and Family Studies. During my undergraduate studies, I accompanied the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services (Child Care Licensing Unit) with research and development of the Child Care Licensing rules that went into effect in 2016. I also have a minor in Spanish from UNH.
For the last 2 years, I have been working in various public schools in Massachusetts while earning my master’s degree in Education. I am so thankful for the experience of working in various grade levels and working with some wonderful public-school teachers. I graduated in May of 2020 with my master’s in Education after completing my student teaching in two 5th grade classrooms in Westford, MA.
Monica Crispin
Hello! My name is Monica Crispin, born and raised in Boston, MA. I’m currently a student at Urban College of Boston majoring in Early Education. I have been a part of the Artisan team since 2016. I am very fortunate to have created close bonds with every child as they reached many milestones in their early years. I feel that my friendly personality is a great fit for the early childcare field. I strive to make a safe, fun and loving environment to make every child’s time away from home easier. Outside of the classroom I enjoy spending time with my family and friends and traveling.
