Our Early Preschool Classroom
Many 2-year-olds want to do everything by themselves. And why not? It’s their way of experimenting and learning to understand the world. Early Preschool teachers provide a safe, nurturing environment where your child can explore and stretch their talents to the fullest all while building self-confidence. Your child will have fun every day as they play and learn important academic skills, social skills and more.

Our Early Preschool Classroom Teachers & Staff
Kari Zeller
Hello! My name is Kari. I have worked in education since 2018 and have had the joy of working with children in a variety of settings. My experience includes serving as a teacher’s assistant in a special education preschool, a lead teacher at Cadence Academy, and a paraeducator at an elementary school before coming to Primrose.
I hold an EEC Certification from Massachusetts, as well as a high school diploma and a Beauty School diploma. Working with children and seeing their personal growth is incredibly rewarding to me. I especially love engaging in creative activities such as art and science, where children can explore, express themselves, and learn in exciting new ways.
My favorite children’s book is The Very Hungry Caterpillar, and my favorite holidays are Halloween and Christmas — though it’s hard to pick between the two! My family also loves celebrating St. Patrick’s Day in a big way. One of my favorite family traditions is opening one present on Christmas Eve, which is usually a cozy pair of pajamas. In my free time, I enjoy painting landscapes and learning new techniques — there’s always something new I’m excited to create!

Adilene Flores
Hello! My name is Adilene. I’ve been caring for children since I was 13 years old and have also gained experience as a tutor. I’m currently working toward my degree in Early Childhood Education, and I’m passionate about helping children learn and grow in a safe, nurturing environment.
One of my favorite things about working with children is that every day brings something new. I love the curiosity kids have—the way they ask questions and find wonder in everything around them.
My favorite children’s book is And to Think I Saw It on Mulberry Street by Dr. Seuss. My favorite holiday is Christmas, and during the summer my family and I love to have themed parties just for fun!
At home, I speak both English and Spanish. I have an Australian Shepherd named Max, who is such a sweetheart. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family, watching movies, going to the park, and baking treats for my friends and loved ones.
