Nici Price, Lower School Administrator

Nici Price (she, her) believes that the quality of our school depends entirely on the quality of our interactions. She strives to be helpful, curious, kind, and to make everyone feel valued. Nici’s goal as the Lower School Administrator is threefold: to bring form, meaning, and joy to every project she works on and to her interactions with the students, faculty, and parents. Nici has brought many gifts to Sacramento Waldorf School in her years as SWS Extended Care Program Coordinator and her involvement with our  Summer Program. Nici also served as the administrator of the Foundations/Professional Development Program at Sacramento Waldorf School in alignment with her mission to educate and strengthen our school community from the inside out.

Nici has a background in team building and event management and has integrated this experience into Waldorf festivals and programming initiatives. "Waldorf Education has blessed my life in myriad of ways from a healthy social life to an awakening of stewardship of the natural world." She says, "Waldorf Schools are centers for both inner and outer transformation.” 

Before coming to SWS, Nici was a Kindergarten Assistant Teacher at Sanderling Waldorf School in southern California, where she served as co-chair of the Parent Association for many years.

Nici has a BA in Liberal Studies from Arizona State University and is working toward a Waldorf Administration Certificate through Sound Circle Center in Seattle, WA.

Nici originates from Suva, Republic of Fiji, the largest metropolitan city in the South Pacific. Her family immigrated to the southwestern United States when she was a young child. She is of Chinese, Irish, and Russian heritage and feels very fortunate to have been raised with an appreciation of diverse cultures and the experiences of others. Having parents from both Eastern and Western cultures has brought Nici to an understanding of diversity, equity, inclusion and justice (DEIJ) as a lived experience. Nici views the four cultural components of DEIJ as intersecting differently in everyone’s lives and believes our work is to bring down whatever barriers exist between us because all of us, in one way or another, have some aspect of DEIJ playing out in our lives. “The concept of intersectionality gives us a framework within which to talk about race and justice in meaningful ways.”
