Our Preschool Classroom
Your 3-year-old is opening up their world, developing special friendships, learning new words and forming new ideas every day. Through purposeful play, meaningful questions and direct instruction, our Preschool teachers encourage your child to think in new and different ways. Your child will have so much fun that they won’t even realize they’re developing the skills they’ll need for reading and math.

For as long as I could remember I have dreamed of working with children and being a teacher. I began babysitting as a teenager and then became a nanny as I worked my way through college. As I continue to work on my undergraduate degree in early childhood education at Kean University, I am so exited to be a part of the Primrose team! Working with children, especially in a classroom setting, has always been my passion and goal. Everyday I look forward to working with families and children, not only to teach and watch them grow, but also to learn.
