Meet the Teachers

Hi! I'm Michelle Fairchild. I am originally from Grand Forks, ND, but my home now is Duluth. I graduated from Indiana University with a Bachelor's degree in Business and I also have an Assossiates degree in   Early Childhood Education from WITC. I have many years of experience working with children and love being an Early Childhood Educator. I've been married to my husband Corey Fairchild for 15 years and together we have five beautiful children; Culley 20, Evy, 14, Aly 12, Izy 11, and Renz 7. When I am not busy running my kids to and from activities, I love going to the cabin, reading, golfing, and skiing. I'm looking forward to an exciting year!

My name is Elicia Burns and I am a licenced Early Childhood Educator from UMD. I have been working in the field for over ten years. I love Duluth and all it has to offer. My husband, two children (Breck 9, & Cullen 7) and I love to be outside playing sports and enjoying the lake. I look forward to meeting you and working with you over the course of the year.
