We're excited to continue having Ms. Ashley as a key member of our Garfield Team! Ashley Wischmeyer has been teaching all of our classes, from the toddler classes to the 4-year-olds, for the past few years and is thrilled to continue learning and growing with our students. A Michigan State alumni (Go Green!), Ashley has spent 12 years working in the public school system, including roles as a kindergarten assistant and 4-year-old preschool teacher.
Outside of teaching, Ashley is married with two daughters, and a golden retriever named Chloe. She enjoys camping, walking, and spending time at the pool. She's also a fan of the 3 T’s: the color Teal, Target, and Trader Joe’s! We're so lucky to have her here and can't wait to see all the exciting things she has planned for her classes and kiddos this year!
