Nieves Joins NCC as Child Development Center Director

Nash Community College welcomes Angela Nieves of Rocky Mount as the Betsy B. Currin Child Development Center Director. Nieves earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Child Development and Family Relations from East Carolina University. She holds Early Educator Certification by the North Carolina Institute for Child Development Professionals.

The Child Development Center opened its doors in August 1999 and serves children from birth through five years old from families of college staff, faculty, students and the community. The Five-Star licensed center operates Monday through Friday from 7:30 am until 5:30 pm. A recent expansion added college classroom space to the building, providing NCC students easy access to a real world lab setting enabling them to acquire valuable skills through observation and interaction with children and experienced teachers.

Prior to joining Nash Community College, Nieves served as Child Care Resource and Referral Provider Services Manager for the Down East Partnership for Children. Previously, she held positions as Lead and Co-lead teacher for two child care centers.
