Welcome to WiseLearn Education

At WiseLearn Education, we support educators and parents to bring social and emotional learning (SEL) to life through calm, connection, and creativity — starting right where it matters most: in the classroom.

Grounded in neuroscience and the principles of neuroplasticity, our practical strategies help children regulate, relate, and learn — while gently guiding the adults around them to do the same. From as young as four, we empower students with tools to understand their bodies, emotions, and brains, creating classroom cultures where everyone can thrive.

Whether you're navigating anxious students, overwhelmed teachers, or a need for deeper wellbeing, WiseLearn is here to walk beside you — with resources, training, and support designed for real classrooms and real lives.

About Nicole

Nicole Nolan

Founder & Lead Educator

WiseLearn Education

Nicole Nolan is the founder of WiseLearn Education, bringing nearly 30 years of experience as an educator, leader, and SEL consultant. She is deeply committed to supporting schools in embedding Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) into the fabric of daily life — not as an add-on, but as a foundation for calm, connection, and creativity in every classroom.

Nicole’s approach is classroom-first and child-centred. By focusing on simple, science-backed strategies to help students regulate, relate, and learn, she gently guides educators toward their own wellbeing too — because when students thrive, teachers begin to heal alongside them.

She holds a degree in Psychology and Communications, is qualified in Primary Education, and earned her Teaching Certificate in the Science of Social and Emotional Learning from Northwestern University. Nicole is also a certified Professional Neuroplastician (P.npn) with the Institute of Organisational Neuroscience and trained in Relax Kids. Her work is grounded in applied neuroscience and driven by what works in real classrooms with real children.

Nicole’s passion for this work isn’t just professional — it’s personal. After the loss of her husband, Nicole has navigated profound change, raising her children while honouring her own healing. These experiences have deepened her empathy and shaped her belief that we must “live what we teach.”

Through WiseLearn Education, Nicole partners with educators and parents who are ready to do things differently — cultivating learning environments that are emotionally safe, inclusive, and responsive to the real needs of today’s children.

Her work is a quiet revolution — one that starts with the classroom, but transforms lives far beyond it.

FAQS

Why is relaxation so important for families and schools?

Relaxation is crucial for families because it helps reduce stress, improve mental health, and strengthen familial bonds. When families and schools incorporate relaxation techniques into their routines, such as deep breathing exercises, meditation, or simply spending quality time together, they create a foundation of calmness and stability. This not only improves individual well-being but also enhances the overall harmony and resilience of the family and classroom unit.

What is Social Emotional Learning (SEL)?

Social Emotional Learning (SEL) is the process through which both children and adults acquire and effectively apply the knowledge, attitudes, and skills necessary to understand and manage emotions, set and achieve positive goals, feel and show empathy for others, establish and maintain positive relationships, and make responsible decisions. SEL fosters emotional intelligence and helps create a supportive and collaborative family environment.

How can we create habits in our family and classrooms when we are so busy?

Contrary to the myth that being busy leaves no room for new habits, even the busiest parents and teachers can establish positive routines with some strategic planning. Start small by integrating simple, manageable changes into your daily schedule, such as a 5-minute morning classroom mindfulness session or a designated "family time" in the evenings.

Consistency is key; focus on regular, small efforts rather than drastic changes. Over time, these small actions can lead to significant improvements in the well-being and connectedness of your family or classroom.
