Ms. Ana - Toddler Class Teacher
I was born in Mexico but have been living in Alaska for nearly twenty years! I have been working with children for over a decade and love helping them discover and understand new things.
When I'm not at work, I like to spend my time in nature with my family, reading, and cooking for my loved ones.

Ms. Kaelynn - Preschool Class Teacher
Hi My name is Kaelynn! I was born in Montana, but shortly moved to Alaska where I grew up.
I started my teaching journey right after I graduated and have been working in child education for 4 years. The best part is being apart of their journey and building those bonds that are never forgotten.
Whenever I am not at work, I am painting, walking my dog, , and cuddling with my cats!
Ms. Salo- Preschool Class Teacher
Ms. Emily - Pre-K/Support Teacher
I grew up in rural Minnesota where I received an AS degree in Early Childhood Education. After 5 years of teaching Early Preschool near Minneapolis, I ventured to Alaska and joined the teaching team part-time here at Gan Yeladim!
When not teaching my loveable students I enjoy painting, collage making, yoga, scenic "stop and smell the flowers" type hikes, and relaxing with her cat, Rainn.
Ms Jeralee - Support Teacher
I grew up in New York and moved to Alaska after completing my BA degree in History. I have been with Gan for almost 2 years and can usually be found in the office. When I'm not at my desk, I am encouraging children to explore and enjoy everything that nature has to offer -- like maintaining our beautiful garden in the summer!
When I'm not at work, I like to spend my time in nature, watching documentaries, listening to podcasts, and relaxing with my cat, Nellie.
