Our Pre-Kindergarten Classroom

Primrose® introduces and reinforces new information through playful exploration, teacher-guided inquiry and rich discussion as they help foster Active Minds, Healthy Bodies, and Happy Hearts®. Your child will have fun every day as they play and learn important academic skills, social skills and more, because when they are mentally, physically and emotionally ready to learn a skill, they develop mastery.

Welcome to Pre-K 2. My name is Leslie Borden. I am so glad to be here at Primrose. I started in November of 2016. I have been a teacher for over 40 years, and I must admit I do not think I would change it for anything. I really enjoy being with children and watching them grow. Though I am originally from Pennsylvania I spent most of my time here in Colorado where I went to school. Recently I have taken up baking and I really enjoy sharing my goodies with my coworkers.
