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.

Our Toddler Classroom Teachers & Staff

Sandra Vera
Hello, my name is Sandra Vera and I am so excited to be a part of the Primrose family! I worked at a Primrose in my home city of Houston in 2021 and have been a nanny for a few years. I also work part-time at the Little Chapel in-the-Woods as an attendant for events. I recently graduated from Texas Woman’s University with a Bachelors in General Studies with concentrations in Professional Education and Psychology. I am also aiming to start graduate school to work toward my Masters in Art of Teaching. In my free time I enjoy watching movies, reading books, and drawing. I also spend lots of time with my two cats, Theo and Ani.

Mary Vicentic
I’m Mrs. Mary, and I wanted to share a little about myself.
I’m originally from Chicago, Illinois, and attended Von Steuben High School. I completed vocational school and am currently taking classes in early education. With over 5 years of experience, I am excited to be bringing my passion about creating a nurturing environment where children can learn, grow, and thrive, and I’m honored to be part of this important stage of their development. In my personal time, I love anything relaxing, including painting, reading, swimming, or sitting on the couch to watch a good movie. My favorite holiday is Christmas, gathering with family for all the holidays, and my family celebrates Orthodox Slava. I speak both English and Slavic, we have two cats, and my most favorite children’s book is “How to Babysit a Grandma”.

BreAchsa Brunson
I’m BreAchsa Joy Brunson, I started teaching children in 2017. I graduated from the University of Central Arkansas (UCA) in 2017 with a Bachelor of Business Administration degree. I was also a collegiate dancer on the UCA Honeybear Dance Team. I love dance!
As a member of the team, we would hold an annual dance camp for children. The children were so open to learning and showing off their awesome freestyle dance moves. They weren’t afraid to be themselves. I love the creativity of a child—their imagination is vast! It keeps me young and going!
I enjoy listening to the audiobook Going on a Bear Hunt. This is my favorite book! I especially love the running part!
My favorite holiday is Valentine’s Day because I love LOVE!
In my personal time, I enjoy reading the Word of God.

Hello my name is Rung Srisathit, pronounced as Roong See-sa-tid. I have relocated to the United States from Thailand to expand my knowledge and immerse myself in diverse cultures. As an experienced Toddler teacher, I take immense pleasure in watching my students learn and grow. It is a blessing to play a role in their healthy development, and I am grateful for the opportunity to work at Primrose School of Lantana alongside a remarkable Leadership team, chef, and co-teachers. We strive to provide an exceptional educational experience for our students.

Jennifer Deal
Hello, I am Jennifer (Jenny) Deal. My husband, Robert, and I have lived in Denton Texas our whole lives and attended Denton Schools. We raised 2 wonderful sons and have 4 wonderful grandchildren. I maintained a successful and rewarding Registered In-home daycare by myself for the past 30 years. I was also able to care for the children of children I cared for when they were young. I loved having the 2nd generation. I am comfortable with all ages and love their growth processes.
I am excited to continue my work with children in a preschool environment and bringing my love and excitement to them. Primrose has offered me a wonderful opportunity. Thank you so much.

Linda Wallace
I have been a Toddler teacher here at Primrose Lantana since 2019. What a joyful journey this has been!
I have learned that toddlers are capable of accomplishing and reasoning more than we often realize. Through both presenting curriculum and following a set schedule, I have had the pleasure of witnessing countless toddlers thrive! Many of “my” toddlers are now in elementary school and they continue to thrive because of the importance of early education. I am so grateful to have the opportunity to love, nurture and teach these precious children!

Erika Salinas
My name is Erika Salinas Botero and I am from Colombia. I live with my husband, my son Emiliano and my three dogs. I love to spend my time with children. In Colombia I babysat and I loved to teach children and watch them grow up. About a year ago, I worked in the Young Toddler Classroom, left to have my baby, and I am so happy to be back with this wonderful Primrose family.

Ashlee Leandro
Hi everyone !!
My name is Ashlee Leandro
I was born in Eagle Pass Tx, but I‘ve spent most of my life in Gainesville Tx, where I also graduated in 2020. I just recently moved to Lewisville with my fiance and our dog Cj. We’re both super excited for all the new beginnings this chapter may bring us.
I’ve been in childcare for 3 years, primarily working with the 2 year old age group. I love creating a space where the kiddos feel safe, loved, and free to express themselves. Watching them grow, learn, and hit so many milestones is the most rewarding part of what I do. I’m super excited to be joining the Primrose team and I can’t wait to get to know you and your little ones!

Jessica Braswell
Hello everyone!!
My name is Jessica Braswell, and I am very honored to be a part of the Lantana family. I began my career in childcare in 2026 and have learned so much about how children see and interact with the world around them. My favorite parts about my job are their contagious joy and seeing the direct impact that my teaching has on their development. It warms my heart to help a child learn, grow, and play! Currently pursuing my Associate’s in Teaching, I’m privileged to have the opportunity to shape young minds and take on the responsibility of keeping them safe, loved, and appreciated in this world.
We’re all in this together!
