AIM Academy of Helena

Hi, I’m Rachel Atherton, the Director for AIM Academy of Helena. As the Director, I work to implement our company’s core values into each classroom and strive to maintain a happy workplace. I have worked in private preschool management for over 5 years in both Alabama and Tennessee. My degree is in sociology with a concentration in marriage and family counseling. A fun fact about me is that I am a published children’s book author!

Hi, I’m Nikki Sieve. I am the assistant director for AIM Academy of Helena. As the assistant director, I help keep the school running smoothly, build great relationships with families, and keep our teachers happy. I have over a decade of experience in pediatric care management/administration. I adored my time working in pediatric surgery helping parents navigate tough times with their little one. There are several similarities between the two industries especially with helping families through a transitionary period. Building strong relationships with families and their sweet kiddos, as well as advocating for our teachers, is a top priority, and I’m so excited to fill this role! Watching children grow and learn is so special and I see firsthand with my 3-year-old (Adley) and 6-year-old (Emmy) just how precious these years are because they pass by so quickly. In my spare time, I like to cheer on my LSU Tigers (Huge fans over here), spend time with family, and make those sweet memories. I am so lucky to have the opportunity to work with such wonderful children, families, and co-workers!
