    Ms. Breeanna

    School Director

    I’m Ms. Breeanna. I wanted to tell you a little about myself. I am born and raised in San Diego. I am the mother of 2 boys, Damien and Jaxson. I have 12 years of experience working with children, ages newborn to middle school. I love working in a preschool setting, because children in our care grow so quickly and you can see it happen right before your eyes. My favorite ages to work with are infants through toddlers, because the growth is very evident in this age range, from crawling to walking and talking. It is an amazing experience to be able to see in my work life J

    I can’t wait to learn more about you and your family.

  • Ms.Lizzie, Infant Assistant Director

    Ms.Lizzie

    Infant Assistant Director

    I’m Ms. Lizzie. I wanted to tell you a little about myself. I first got into working with children in an after school English program in South Korea. I found it fun and full of creative flexibility. When I returned to the U.S. I worked at Kuman and Mad Science. Then I got an opportunity to work at my first preschool. With my experience and education, I’ve come to love preschool, because the first 5 years are so important and detail oriented. I have worked with many age groups, but I am most proud to be a part of the infant/toddler program.

    I can’t wait to learn more about you and your family.

  • Reena Dayal, Franchise Owner

    Reena Dayal

    Franchise Owner

    Welcome to Primrose!

    I am Reena Dayal, the proud owner of Primrose School of 4S Ranch!

    Owning a preschool has been a dream of mine since I was a child, as I have always had a true passion for working with and supporting children. With a bachelor’s degree in Education from San Jose State and a master’s degree in Curriculum Design from University of San Diego, I have taught at preschools and elementary schools, but always have been drawn to the preschool environment.

    After teaching for many years and having children of my own, I found it challenging to find a school where my children could learn and not just be “taken care of.” Determined to find the right school for my children, I felt like I was constantly searching to find a school with a curriculum that would prepare them for elementary school. Looking at many schools and conducting a lot of research, I knew that Primrose was the best fit for what I was looking for. San Diego has nothing like this here and I am so happy to bring the Primrose curriculum to the 4S community. The exclusive Primrose Schools curriculum extends beyond cognitive learning, with a deep focus on social emotional and character development, helping nurture Active Minds, Healthy Bodies and Happy Hearts®.

    Who children become is as important as what they know is a belief that is at the core of our Balanced Learning® approach. Our research based early learning approach balances purposeful play with nurturing guidance from teachers to encourage curiosity, creativity, confidence and compassion. We deliver more than a curriculum; it’s a life-changing early learning experience for children and their families.

    We are excited to meet you and your family!
