Meet our Teachers

Bronwen McRae

I was born and raised in Moose Jaw and moved to Saskatoon to take my Early Childhood Education training. My entire career has been in the service of children and their families. I’ve enjoyed being an Early Childhood Educator, a Centre Director, an Early Learning Consultant and a Mentor.

My husband Darryl and I celebrated our thirtieth anniversary this year. We enjoy spending time with our two adult children and their people! Darryl and I enjoy cheering on the Riders, volunteering together as well as taking in a good movie whenever we can. In my spare time I enjoy serving in the Nursery here at Circle, puttering in my yard, being part of a poetry group and playing clarinet in the Saskatoon Community Band.

I believe children are capable and competent learners who flourish in an environment that gives them an opportunity to play and explore. I love being part of that process! I’m looking forward to my fifth year here at Circle Drive Preschool!

Claudia Araujo

I was born and raised in Brazil and have been working with children since I was a teenager. Brazil is also where I took my Early Childhood training. I have been a part of the children’s ministry here at Circle for several years and I love it!

I have three teenagers. I love to be a mom and spend my time with them. I enjoy music and used to play in an orchestra. My other hobbies include dance, gymnastics and swimming.

I’m so excited to start my second year at the preschool! To teach, play, encourage, and have fun with the children.

Amber Broughton

I was born and raised in Saskatoon and have been working with children for most of my life.  I began as a volunteer in the Children’s Ministry Department here at Circle when I was a teenager and have served in many capacities since including Morning Director in both our preschool and grade school programs, and as a staff lead for 2 years for our Kids Kapers summer camp program.

After completion of my Bachelor’s of Social Work, I worked at Big Brothers Big Sisters of Saskatoon for 5 years.  In my role with BBBS, I planned and implemented programming in both school divisions for children who are new to Canada.  I love working with children and have a passion to see them grow in all areas of their lives.

I’ve been married for 9 years to my husband Luke and we have three wonderful children, two of which have also attended Circle Drive Preschool!  We love to spend our free time at the cabin where we enjoy fishing, boating, skiing and spending time at the beach with family and friends.

I look forward to working with your children and seeing them grow, learn and have fun!
