Meet the Manager

Manager
Hello, my name is Donna Weatherwax and I am the Academy Director here at OPENair Academy.
My family and I moved to Colorado over 25 years ago, relocating from Anchorage, Alaska. I have over 30 years of experience in the field of Early Childhood Education as a teacher, trainer and school director.
My passion is working with children and families, and with the teachers who instill a love of learning for them. I believe that children are active learners, and thrive in an environment that provides them with opportunities to develop a love of learning through hands-on experiences and play.
