Hi there! I’m Julie, and it’s a pleasure to connect with you. With 35 years immersed in Early Childhood Education, I’ve had the privilege of shaping young minds and fostering vibrant learning spaces. Before coming to Primrose of Lafayette, I spent 11 rewarding years managing a large, accredited school in Fort Collins.

My passion for early learning led me to earn my Bachelor’s Degree in Elementary Education with an Early Childhood endorsement from Arizona State University, complemented by my Director Certification from Colorado State University. Since I began teaching in 1994, my goal has always been to create a bright, welcoming, and nurturing environment where every child feels safe and excited to learn.

A native of Jackson Hole, Wyoming, I made my home in Fort Collins in 1996 and now reside on a lovely small acreage in Ault, Colorado, with my husband. Family is everything to me; I’m blessed with five grown children and nine amazing grandchildren. In my downtime, I cherish moments with my family, hiking, enjoying my farm animals, and finding peace tending to my flowers. I’m also an award-winning English Bulldog handler and enjoy spending time with my four beloved bulldogs.

Hi, I’m Corine!

As a Colorado native, I absolutely love our beautiful mountains and spending time outdoors with my family. My family is a big one—I have two children of my own, plus two bonus children!

I’ve been a nanny for a while, and I’m thrilled to be transitioning into early childhood education. I truly believe children are our future, and as someone who’s a big kid at heart myself, I can’t wait to help your little ones learn and thrive. I’m excited to share that I’ve achieved my Level 4 credential and am also very close to completing my Associate’s Degree in Early Education.

I joined Primrose Lafayette in March of 2023 and I’m so excited to be part of this community.

Please stop by and say hi!

Hi, I’m Ms. Ivonne!

Originally from Guadalajara, Jalisco, I’ve had the pleasure of calling Colorado home since December of 1999.

My journey in Early Childhood Education spans 31 years, primarily dedicated to working with preschool to kindergarten-aged children. I’ve been a proud member of the Primrose School of Lafayette team since 2014, and I am particularly passionate about fostering kindergarten readiness and celebrating each child’s academic milestones.

When I’m not in the classroom, you’ll often find me enjoying quality time with my husband, whether we’re cooking up new recipes or exploring the scenic roads and trails on our bikes. My beloved dog, Pancho, keeps me active with our runs, and I also enjoy delving into informative books and cozying up with my cat, Malinche.

I genuinely look forward to getting to know you and your family better. Please don’t hesitate to stop by and say “Hello” or “¡Hola!”

Hi I’m Ms. Pam!

I have attended Colorado State University majoring in business. I have 4 daughters and 5 grandkids.

One of the many things I love about early childhood education is being able to be apart of children’s growth and development as they turn into confident, self-sufficient learners! And of course, I love the hugs I get everyday from the kiddos.

When I am not teaching, I go fishing!

I look forward to meeting you all.

Hi, I’m Ashley!

Originally from New York, I’ve dedicated the past seven years to early childhood education. Six of those years have been right here at Primrose Lafayette, where I’ve found my passion teaching in the toddler classrooms. It’s incredibly rewarding to engage with these young learners, create art with them, and embrace a bit of silliness! Witnessing their growth and being a part of their early lives is truly my favorite aspect of this profession.

When I’m not in the classroom, you’ll likely find me cheering at a sports game or enjoying live music at a concert.

I’m really looking forward to connecting with all the parents and family members of my students. Please feel free to stop by and introduce yourselves if we haven’t had the chance to chat yet.
