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. Auxerre
Director/Teacher
I was born and raised in Evansville, Indiana and I have two sons: Aiden (June 2004) and Aman (June 2008). I attended the University of Southern Indiana and graduated in 2007 with an Associates Degree in Early Childhood Education and a Bachelors Degree in Art with an Art History minor. In the fall of 2011, I moved to Denver, Colorado and I loved every moment of it! My family decided to move to Sitka in November 2022 and I am thrilled to be here!
I began working at 3 to 5 Preschool in 2023 and I am excited for this journey as Director and Teacher! I look forward to getting to know your child and your family as we embark on this learning adventure together!
Ms. Sadie
Teacher
I was born here in Sitka at Sitka Community Hospital and was raised in Sitka, Port Townsend, WA, and Maui, HI. I have been a permanent resident of Sitka since 2016 when I moved here to work as a pastry chef at Ludvig's Bistro. I have a certificate in Professional Pastry Arts, and I am close to finishing my Child Development Association credential (CDA). I started my career path in Early Childhood Education in December 2020, working for Wooch.een preschool/ Sitka Head Start program as a Cook/ Teachers Aid. I am married and have 12-year-old twin stepchildren, Ricky and Nevaeh. I have two cats, a young mini Aussie named Robyn, and 14 chickens. I enjoy spending my free time walking my dog, boating with my family, and dancing with the New Archangel Dancers here in Sitka. I am thrilled to be here at the 3-5 preschool and look forward to learning Montessori teaching methods while getting to know all of the children!
