I started with Primrose in 2016 after working in the field of education (early childhood and elementary) since 1993. I am originally from NY and met my husband while attending SUNY Potsdam. I came to Colorado in 1997 after getting to visit multiple times while my brother was attending the Air Force Academy. We now live in Highlands Ranch and are parents to our amazing twins, who were lucky enough to attend Primrose for PreK, Kindergarten and Explorer Summer Adventure Club.

What drew me to Primrose was that the curriculum embodies teaching for everybody in a variety of ways. Character development and caring about the whole child is just as important as teaching math and literacy. Primrose does it all. I love to see the light bulb moments that occur in the classroom when a child solves a puzzle, creates a piece of artwork, or even helps a friend.

When I am not taking my children to their many sporting events, I love to cheer them on, relax with a good book, cook, and bake with my children, or binge watch reality television with my husband.

Hey! My name is Najimah but everyone calls me “G.” I was born in NY, but I was raised here in Colorado. I started here at Primrose when I was 17 in preschool as an afternoon teacher. Each year I stayed it made it impossible to leave…  In my free time I can be a homebody, but I love to spend time with my family and friends as well as finding the best spot for photos. One thing that I love about being a teacher is watching   each child grow into their talents and personalities.

I started at Primrose in 2019 as a part of the seasonal staff while I was in college getting my degree in Psychology and Human Services. After I graduated college I came and worked full time as a Pre-K teacher and fell in love with Primrose and the curriculum. I left for 6 months to go be an RBT but realized how much I love Primrose and the staff  and leadership so I came back in June 2023 and became the Office Manager then June 2025 I became the Education Coach.

I love the Primrose curriculum and how diverse it is for everyone. All the children are able to be met exactly where they are. I also love the different life skills that it teachers the children even at such a young age. Being the Education Coach I love being able to help support the teachers and grow their skills to be the best they can be but I also love being able to watch the interactions that happen between the teachers and their students.

In my free time I love going on different hikes with my puppy, hanging out at home watching reality tv or hockey or football.

I started working with kids in 2013 when I worked for Denver Public Schools, in the cafeteria. I love to draw, paint, sing and dance. I love spending time with family, friends and especially my daughter. I was born and raised in Englewood, Colorado. I’ve worked with kids for about 3 years and the things I love about that is watching them grow up and develop their personalities!

Hello, my name is Chloe DiGioia. I started at Primrose in January 2024. I love reading, writing, and traveling. I am from a small town called Fruita, CO.

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.

Hi Primrose families or soon to be Primrose families. I am Mariama, my toddlers find it easier to call me Ama. I am from Denver, CO. I was born and raised. I am a mom to 3 awesome kids. I have been teaching for four and a half years now. Primrose is where I started my teaching journey and continue it too. On my free time I love to spend time with friends and family. I also enjoy cooking and baking. I enjoy teaching toddlers and learning the way different children learn.

Hi! I’m Ximena, I started working here at Primrose in February 2023 and have been here for a little over a year. I really enjoy watching the kids grow and learn everyday. I like to hang out with friends, watch movies and spend time with family!

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.

I’m from a lot of places but I have been in Colorado the longest. I have been in childcare for 4 years; minus all the babysitting I do for my family. Reading and creativity is the KEY to my heart! Puzzles, painting and plants are some of the things I do in my down time. I also love to eat lol! You’ll always catch me with some snacks!

I am 20 years old. I’ve been working here and teaching for about 2 years now. What I like most about being a teacher is seeing and noticing when kids are learning new things and adapting to them. I live in Denver but I’m from Albuquerque, New Mexico. I enjoy the outdoors and listening to music.

I stared here in May 2025! I enjoy listening  to podcasts (my two favorite being) “Basically Unfiltered” and “The Basement Yard”. I also love going to shows of any kind (comedy, Broadway, concerts, etc). One hobbie I love to do is travel. This year so far I have gone to St. Jhon’s, California, Oklahoma, and Las Vegas. A hobby that I like to do at home is go to antique actions and collect edectic items. I just started teaching young minds this year! What I like about teaching is how I get to see every child grow and learn in their own unique way. Watching them improve their academic, personal and developmental goals is my favorite part of everyday!

Hi, my name is Dailey, I work in toddlers, and I have been working here since October 2023. I grew up doing gymnastics and did it for 11 years. I was born in Fort Collins, but I have lived in Highlands Ranch for 13 years. Even though this is my first year teaching I love it so much and get so excited to go to work every day. My favorite thing about teaching is getting to meet new kids and watching them grow up and learn new things.

Hi, I’m Trish, I am originally from Iowa. I have also lived in Nebraska and Michigan. I am married and have two daughters. My oldest daughter is a junior in college and is seeking an Early Elementary teaching degree. My youngest daughter is a senior in high school and trying to decide what college she wants to attend. I enjoy putting puzzles together, reading and spending time with my family. I have been at Primrose since May. The best part about being a teacher is when you hear the children speak about things you have been teaching in class and also when they are able to answer questions as well.

I’m Arthi Rajesh from India.I did my post graduation in computer applications and worked in the software industry. Later, I moved to the US accompying my husband.

In my spare time, I enjoy going on vacation trips with my family and friends. I also have a deep passion for arts and crafts which allows me to express my creativity and share it with others.

My passion for teaching and being with kids inspired me to choose teaching as a profession. I have been working at Primrose for 2 months and I love being a part of the children’s development. I take  great joy in helping build their character.
