Our Infant Classroom
We know the first year of life can have a big influence on a child’s success in the years that follow. That’s why teachers in your child’s Infant classroom provide a loving and nurturing environment as they lay the foundation for learning. This includes literacy; communication and vocabulary skills to help your infant better express their needs; gross motor skills and sensory development; and emotional well-being.
Nurturing Active Minds, Healthy Bodies, and Happy Hearts®

🌟👶 Meet Ms. Laura! 👶🌟
Hi everyone! My name is Laura, and I’m an Infant Teacher at Primrose School of Broadview Heights 💛📚
I have spent the last 30 years working with children from just 6 weeks old through school age 🍼➡️🎒, and I joined Primrose in August 2021! 🎉
I studied Child Development at University of Akron 🎓 while working at the university’s Child Development Center. I also attended Kent State University where I studied K–12 Education 🍎✏️
One of my favorite books to read is the classic children’s story Are You My Mother? 📖🐦 I loved reading it to my son when he was little, and now that he’s older, he can read it back to me 💕
The BEST part of teaching is seeing the ✨ glow in a child’s eyes ✨ when they learn something new. Knowing I’ve helped make a difference in their lives is such a wonderful feeling ❤️
I believe children learn best when they are engaged, encouraged, and having fun while learning 🎨🧩🌈
