Our Preschool Pathways Classroom
Our Preschool Pathways program provides a “bridge” between our Early Preschool and Preschool classrooms for children whose birthdays will ultimately miss the cutoff date for kindergarten entrance. By identifying those children early, we can help them stay with a consistent group of peers through preschool, pre-K and kindergarten.

Our Preschool Pathways Classroom Teachers & Staff
Janelle Carrasco
Hello! My name is Ms. Janelle, and here are a few things about myself I’d love to share with you!
I’m a digital artist and have been drawing for around 11 years. I spend a lot of my free time playing video games, working out, drawing, and watching shows and films. I’m also a big science and music lover! I love being creative and exploring new ideas, and I enjoy bringing that creativity and curiosity into the classroom.
One of my favorite parts of being in a classroom is engaging with my students and getting to know their unique personalities and interests. I especially enjoy participating in the Primrose Harmony & Hearts program, which gives me a wonderful opportunity to bring my love of music into the classroom. I love watching students sing, dance, move, and express themselves through music while building confidence and developing important social-emotional skills.
I’m excited to create fun and meaningful learning experiences where students can explore, be creative, and feel encouraged to be themselves.
Amarii Purter
Hello! I’m Ms. Amarii. I was born and raised in sunny San Diego, CA, and at 24 years old, I’m proud to say I’ve already spent a decade working with children—a passion that continues to inspire me every day.
When I’m not in the classroom, you can usually find me curled up with a good book or enjoying quality time with my family. I also have a lovable Rottweiler who keeps me active with our daily walks. In my free time, I enjoy shooting hoops and experimenting with new baking recipes.
One of my favorite parts of working with children is getting to know each student as an individual. I love learning about their unique personalities, interests, strengths, and learning styles and finding ways to connect with each child. I believe every child learns and grows in their own way, and I enjoy creating meaningful experiences that help them feel confident, supported, and excited to learn.
I’m excited to bring my energy, creativity, and love for learning into the classroom! I look forward to creating a classroom where every child feels welcomed, valued, and excited to come to school each day.
