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. 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!
