Our Toddler Classroom

Hello my name is Rebeca Montelongo. I’m a mother of four kids and I love my family. I love to cook and spend time watching movies with them. My hobbies are reading and exercise. I studied accounting and administration at UMSNH in Mexico. I also took child development and growth classes at San Jose City College. I love working with children and I feel very grateful to be a part of their first stages of life. I have the honor of being part of the team at Primrose Evergreen school.

A few things to know about me are that since a younger age I have always loved to take care of kids. As soon as I was old enough, I began babysitting and everyone loved working with me. I began to look for jobs at school and absolutely loved working with children of all ages. I became attached to my students and was so proud of them every time they made progress. I will always hold a special place in my heart for all the children I have worked with.

Outside of school, I enjoy spending time with my close knit family, relaxing at the beach and coloring to unwind.

I am thrilled to join the Primrose Community and look forward to creating a warm positive environment, where every child feels safe, valued, seen and heard. My goal is to make a meaningful difference in each child’s life and help make the beginning of their educational journey joyful and memorable.
