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®

Our Infant Classroom Teachers & Staff
Mrs. Martinez
Hi my name is Mrs. Martinez and I am an infant teacher at the Primrose school of Dublin Riverside. I was born and raised in the Dominican Republic. I have been working with children for 4 years and I am also a mom of 2! My favorite part of teaching is being able to watch children grown and learn everyday. It makes me proud to see the impact I have on a student and their learning. In my free time I love spending time with my family while exploring different parks in the area. I am excited to meet all of the students here at Primrose!
Konnor Hopkins
Hi! My name is Ms. Hopkins and I am an infant teacher at the Primrose School of Dublin Riverside. I live in Marion with my husband Brandon, our son Briggs, and our dogs Luca and Lennie. When I am not at a basketball game or running my photography business, you will find me spending time with my family. I have worked with children for years and it is something I truly love. Building relationships with my students and their families is so important to me. I am passionate about creating a space where kids feel safe, supported, and encouraged to grow. Being able to make an impact in and out the classroom is what drives me every day. I am so excited to meet new students and create relationships with families!
