Our Staff

Welcome to 3 to 5 Preschool! We look forward to meeting you and your family! Until then, here is a little bit about our teachers!

Ms Jo

Hello!  I am Jo Ingman.  I have lived in Sitka since July 2017, I am still amazed daily at the beauty of this "picture postcard" I call home!  I have lived in a variety of places, most recently Minnesota where I completed my master's in early childhood education and taught preschool.  I've also enjoyed life in Arizona, Colorado, Massachusetts, and Oregon. 

My husband, John, is an instructional designer at UAS and we have 2 grown children, Elea and Daniel.  We also have two cats, Nova and Andromeda.  

​

I enjoy music, reading, (especially mysteries and fantasy/adventures), games, puzzles, sewing,  crafts, hiking and tide pooling.  Most of all I enjoy learning new things.

​

I am excited to continue at 3 to 5 Preschool as Director.  Most of all I am excited to join with you as a teacher, supporter,  and companion on your child's developmental journey!   I look forward to getting to know your child and family.

I have worked at a developmental preschool for the last 2 year as I am working towards my Degree in Elementary education and Have become very passionate about inclusive learning.

I have a Boxer named Netty and she is my fur baby. She is loving the great outdoors that Alaska has to offer. I enjoy fishing with my dad, cooking for friends and family, and anything artsy that allows me to be creative.
