My name is Soumi Sen, and I have had a deep passion for teaching since childhood. I truly enjoy working with young children and find great joy in helping them learn, grow, and discover the world around them. Teaching has always felt like a natural calling for me, and I find it both rewarding and inspiring.

I completed my Bachelor’s degree in Science, which has provided me with a strong foundation to support my journey in education. Alongside my love for teaching, I am also deeply involved in artistic activities. Painting is one of my favorite hobbies—I enjoy expressing my thoughts, emotions, and imagination through colors and brushstrokes. Whether working on canvas or creating simple sketches, art brings me peace and fulfillment.

Music is another important part of my life. I often listen to music to relax, especially while painting or unwinding after a busy day.

When it comes to food, I enjoy trying new dishes, but my favorite comfort meals are traditional home-cooked Bengali recipes, filled with flavors passed down through generations.

I feel most at peace in nature—surrounded by greenery, flowing rivers, or the calm beauty of the mountains. These serene places inspire both my creativity and my art.

Some of my favorite children’s books are The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle and Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? by Bill Martin Jr. and Eric Carle.

My name is Jenny. I wanted to tell you a little about myself. I was born and raised in Vietnam. In 2014, I decided to move to Toronto, Canada, where I studied and graduated achieving a degree in  Early Childhood Education. I have been working with children since 2017. I like to work with children and be able to make a positive difference in the future for the children I connect with. I realize that becoming an Early Childhood Educator is rewarding work. It is not only transferring knowledge and performing in the classroom, but also educating, supervising, caring, and understanding. When I connect with children, I feel excited to play and take care of them

Hello! My name is Leslie, and I am excited to be joining the Primrose School of Cupertino team and to have the opportunity to work with your child.

I was born in Monterey, California, and raised in San Jose. In my free time, I enjoy going for walks, working out at the gym, and exploring new Mexican restaurants. I also have a 12-year-old son who is my greatest inspiration and motivation in everything I do.

I have previous experience working with children in both daycare and school-age settings. I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Sociology from the University of California, Santa Cruz, and I plan to begin working toward my Early Childhood Education units in the near future.

One of my favorite parts of working with children is watching them learn, grow, and gain confidence throughout the year. I love engaging them in hands-on learning experiences through singing, dancing, reading, and interactive activities that make learning fun and meaningful.

I am truly looking forward to getting to know your children and partnering with your family throughout the school year. I am grateful for this opportunity and excited to begin this new journey at Primrose!

Hello everyone,

My name is Nehal. I’ve always had a passion for working with young children and love seeing their natural curiosity in action. I’m originally from India, and after moving to the U.S., I often volunteered in my children’s classrooms whenever I had the opportunity.

Through volunteering, I gained valuable insight into how early education is enriched through arts, crafts, and various fun, hands-on activities. I truly enjoyed participating in these experiences with my kids. Now that they are older—one in middle school and the other in elementary school—I have more time to pursue my passion for teaching.

I also have experience working in preschool and after-school programs, which has further strengthened my commitment to early childhood education. I’m excited and happy to join the Primrose School family, and I look forward to working together with all of you!

Hi! I’m Ms. Veena, and I’m so excited to be part of the Primrose School community. Originally from New Delhi, India, I hold a Bachelor of Education degree and am passionate about creating nurturing and inclusive environments where children can grow and thrive. I truly enjoy building meaningful relationships with each child and supporting their development through creativity, curiosity, and care.

Before moving to San Jose, California, I spent eight years living in Sweden, where I had the wonderful opportunity to work as a substitute teacher in Swedish primary schools for one year. That experience laid a strong foundation for my journey in early childhood education and deepened my appreciation for guiding young learners as they explore the world around them.

Outside of the classroom, some of my favorite things include relaxing on the weekends, visiting the beach, and shopping. I love food from my home culture—especially Chole Bhature—and one of my all-time favorite children’s books is Pippi in the South Sea. If I had to choose a Primrose character I relate to most, it would be Billy the Duck, and what I’m most looking forward to this school year is supporting each child’s personal development and getting to know everyone in the community!

Hello, my name is Stephanie, I have been working in early childhood education for almost three years. I began as a toddler teacher and later became a Lead Preschool Teacher for a mixed-age classroom of children ages 2–4 in Menlo Park, California. Watching children learn, grow, and reach important milestones has made me passionate about teaching and inspired me to continue growing as an educator.

I am currently studying Criminal Justice at San Jose City College and hope to also pursue Early Childhood Development, as I truly believe teaching is my calling.

My favorite part of working with children is the joy and energy they bring each day. Their smiles, laughter, and hugs make every day rewarding. One of my favorite children’s books is Oh, the Places You’ll Go! by Dr. Seuss because of its inspiring message.

Halloween is my favorite holiday, and my family also celebrates Día de los Muertos. One of my favorite family traditions is playing board games together on Christmas morning. At home, we speak Spanish, and I have an 8-year-old Pomeranian-Chihuahua mix named Boli. In my free time, I enjoy traveling with my family, visiting Disneyland, and attending concerts.
