Our teachers make Triangle a special place to begin your child’s education. Renée and Christine care about the individual talents that each child brings to the class and look forward to working with parents to ensure that everyone has a fun and successful year.

Renée Pesheck

Renée Pesheck is the teacher for the Triangle 3s class.  She received her Masters and Elementary Teaching Certification at the University of Michigan in 2011 and brings extensive experience to the classroom:

• Preschool teacher at The University of Michigan Hospital Child Care Center and Stony Creek Preschool
• Kindergarten teacher in Milan, Michigan
• ELL teacher to grades Kindergarten-Fifth in the Ann Arbor Public Schools

Renée strongly believes that children learn through play and exploration.  She is passionate about being developmentally focused and following the interests of children in her teaching.  Watching a child enthralled while discovering the movements and texture of an earthworm, or seeing a student’s eyes light up when they join in with a well-known story and chant “Fee, Fi, Fo, Fum!” are moments that fuel her passion for teaching young children.

Renée is in the unique position of having been a parent, and now a teacher, at Triangle.  From 2001-2003 Renée sent her boy/girl twins to Triangle. She continues to cherish the community she found and the friendships she made way back then.

When not teaching, Renée enjoys volunteering at the Humane Society of Huron Valley, meeting with her book club, making pottery, walking her dogs, visiting her kids in Kansas City, and exploring fun places and events with her husband, Eric.
