Our School Directors

Lynbrook Director

My name is Nicole Ervolino! With over eighteen years of experience in early childhood education, I am proud to be the Director of Kids Campus. I earned my Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education from the University of Delaware and my Masters in Early Childhood Education from Adelphi. I am currently CPR/First Aid & Medical Administration Certified. Prior to joining the Kids Campus team, I was a First and Second Grade Teacher for the NYC Department of Education in Brooklyn. I then spent eight years teaching in the Kids Campus toddler program before assuming the role of Director in 2014.  My husband and I have been blessed with two beautiful daughters, Josephine & Victoria, both graduates of Kids Campus, and currently enrolled in the Hewlett School District. As a family, we enjoy spending time exploring the outdoors, swimming, dancing, cooking, watching football and reading books. Growing up locally, I am proud to serve our community and provide a school that will engage, inspire, and help your children grow during these crucial early years of development.

Lynbrook Co-Director

My name is Tara Hadjoglou. The past 20 years of working at Kids Campus have been a fantastic personal and professional journey and learning experience. I began as an Assistant Teacher and have progressed to Co-Director of this wonderful school. I enjoy coming to work each and every day doing what I love to do- being with children of all ages and getting to know each and every one of them from infancy through our school age summer camp programs. It’s so heartwarming when children that graduated come back to visit and continue to share their lives with us. I graduated from Lynbrook High School and studied at Nassau Community College. I have also completed my Child Development Associate Degree, Food Handler, and C.P.R./ First Aid Certification, as well as Medical Administration Training.  My husband and I welcomed to the world our beautiful son Edward George on April 25, 2021. We have a house in Bellmore with our Dog Bernie and Rabbit named Shadow. I love nature, Yankee baseball, Steelers football, concerts, batting cages and art projects. I am looking forward to another fun filled and loving year with you and your family.
