Our Toddler Classroom
An action-packed day full of fun and purposeful play helps toddlers develop Active Minds, Healthy Bodies, and Happy Hearts®. We know 1-year-olds are constantly on the move, exploring and learning through play at every turn. Primrose teachers use that energy and enthusiasm to foster cognitive, social, emotional and physical skills through engaging games and activities.
Nurturing Active Minds, Healthy Bodies, and Happy Hearts

Our Toddler Classroom Teachers & Staff
Heather Sandoval
Hi, my name is Heather Sandoval, I am 19 years old. I started teaching at Primrose in September 2023. I love to go to the lake during the summer. I love to paint and draw as well. I am originally from Denver, Colorado. I love being able to bond with all the kids I work with.
Angelica Rojas
Hi, I am Angelica, two years ago I decided to change my life and move to the United States, I am originally from Colombia. I graduated in civil engineering. I am passionate about engineering but one day I decided to volunteer in childcare, and I discovered that I really like and feel comfortable with children, and it was a valuable experience that filled my soul. I have always thought that I have come into the world to serve, help, and contribute to others with my skills, personality, knowledge, and values. I like to read, watch movies/ tv series, and spend time in nature. What I like most about being a teacher is being able to be a part of a child’s education, providing the support and love to impact their life.

Sierra Addy
I started working here in August 2025 and I have been teaching in a early childhood setting for five months. Beyond that, I have been teaching dance for two years. I am very passionate about dance and have danced for seventeen years. I am a Colorado native so I love everything outdoors, Red Rocks is one of my favorite places! I love teaching because of the connections I’m able to build with each child and I love being able to have a positive impact on each child.
