My husband Adam and I have three amazing children who all attended Primrose. Primrose is more than a school for us; it is a part of our family!

Primrose Faculty Since May 2012

As the Director of Learning and Development for Primrose School of Copperfield and Primrose School at Crossroads Park, I am passionate about ensuring every child entrusted to our care receives the highest-quality education in a nurturing, supportive and fun environment. I work closely with our dedicated faculty to help them grow as educators, supporting their development so they can bring out the best in every student they teach.

With over 14 years of experience at Primrose—starting as a teacher and eventually serving as a School Director for eight years—I bring a deep understanding of early childhood education and a heartfelt commitment to serving families. I believe in creating an environment where both children and teachers can thrive.

My husband and I live in the Copperfield area with our two young children, who also attend Primrose, and two dogs. We love spending time together as a family, whether we’re out and about or enjoying a cozy evening at home. I’m also passionate about cooking, reading, and, most of all, being a mom.

It’s a true privilege to support families and educators each day, and I’m honored to play a role in shaping such an important part of children’s lives.

My name is Idalis Stevenson, and I am honored to serve as the Center Director at Primrose at Crossroads Park. With a decade of experience in early childhood education, I am deeply committed to fostering a safe, nurturing, and enriching environment where children can grow and thrive.

Throughout my career, I have held various roles, including Toddler-Twos Teacher, Education Director, Assistant Director, and Center Director. My approach to education is rooted in the belief that curiosity should be nurtured through play, each child’s unique developmental journey should be supported, and strong partnerships with families are essential for meaningful learning experiences both in the classroom and at home.

Outside of work, I am happily married and the proud parent of three wonderful children, along with three energetic fur babies who bring joy to our home. I enjoy reading, crocheting, crafting with my kids, and spending quality time with family.

My name is Mrs. Talje, and I am honored to introduce myself as the Director of Education here at Primrose. I am a Summa Cum Laude graduate from the University of Houston–Downtown. Since joining the Primrose family in October 2021 as a Pre-Kindergarten teacher, I have been deeply committed to early childhood education, dedicating the past 10 years to fostering young learners’ growth and development.

What initially drew me to Primrose—and what continues to inspire me—is the Balanced Learning approach, which perfectly blends purposeful play with teacher-led instruction. As both an educator and a parent, with my two children enrolled in Early Preschool and Pre-Kindergarten, I understand firsthand the importance of creating a nurturing, enriching environment that sets the foundation for lifelong learning.

I am truly excited to step into this new role and look forward to supporting our teachers and your children as we continue delivering a high-quality educational experience. Thank you for the warm welcome—I look forward to partnering with you on this journey!
