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®

Claudia A

Young Toddler Teacher

Hi, I’m Claudia, and I’m excited to share a little about myself with you. I have four years of experience working in child care and am a fully qualified teacher. What I love most about working with children is building meaningful bonds with each child and their family, and I truly enjoy all the funny and heartwarming stories they share every day. I believe in creating a warm, nurturing environment where children feel safe, valued, and inspired to learn and grow.

One of my favorite children’s books is Corduroy by Don Freeman because it highlights friendship, belonging, and love. My favorite holidays are Christmas and Halloween, as they bring so much joy and excitement. At home, we speak Spanish, and I have two pets: Milou, my Golden Retriever, and Mellow, my Bearded Dragon. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my sister or going on walks with my dog. I look forward to getting to know you and your family!

Nehal N.

Young Toddler Teacher

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!
