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®

Erika V.
Hello, my name is Erika also known as Ms. Erika!
I’m very excited to be a part of the Primrose community! I have been working with children for 10 years. I started my journey in a regional occupational program in high school working alongside children. I gained the passion and love of working with children from my Aunt who was a kindergarten teacher. She would always tell me how she loves her job and how she sees her kids grow and become successful. I was born in the Philippines and immigrated to the US when I was 3 years old. I lived in Union City until I was 6 years old and then we moved to the Central Valley. I grew up in a little town called Lathrop and now I am back in the Bay Area since 2017. I attended and graduated from De Anza Community College in 2019 where I received my A.A. degree in Liberal Arts with a focus on Child Development. In my free time, I love playing video games, shopping, and spending time with my family and friends. Some of my hobbies also include painting, music, and exploring my favorite city (San Francisco). I am looking forward to continuing my journey in meeting the kids and families at Primrose! I am deeply excited to grow as a teacher and build a connection with them.
