Hi!  My name is Nicole Coolman and I am the Early Childhood Teacher at Hinkle Creek Elementary School.  I am excited to begin my second year of teaching in the EC Classroom!  I graduated from Purdue University (Boiler Up!) with my degree in Early Childhood Education & Early Childhood Special Education.  This is my fourth year at Hinkle Creek.  I have also worked in our LifeSkills and FAP classrooms.  I have been married to my husband, Doug, for 14 years and we have two children.  Our son, Evan, is a sixth grader at Noblesville West Middle School and our daughter, Addy, is a third grader at Hinkle Creek.  They keep us very busy!  We also have a dog, Ozzy, who is a three-year-old labradoodle.  In addition to teaching, I love spending time with my family, friends, cooking, baking, and traveling.  I look forward to another great year at The Creek!
