Our Infant Classroom

We know the first year of life can have a big influence on a child’s success in the years that follow. That’s why teachers in your child’s Infant classroom provide a loving and nurturing environment as they lay the foundation for learning. This includes literacy; communication and vocabulary skills to help your infant better express their needs; gross motor skills and sensory development; and emotional well-being.

Mrs. Teresa

Young Infant Teacher

I’m Mrs. Teresa. I wanted to tell you a little about myself.

I was previously a substitute teacher at Worthington Schools before I decided to come and join Primrose.

I come from 3 strong generations of educators, so I felt like it only made perfect sense for me to continue that path. I graduated from The Ohio State University where I earned my Bachelor’s of Science in Education.

In my spare time I love to be outside and enjoy all the different seasons. I love to kayak with my family and dogs, tend to my tiny garden where I enjoy growing flowers and vegetables.

My favorite part of being a Primrose teacher is being an important part of your child’s life and first learning experiences. I believe the first year of life is an amazing time for the growth and development of infants. I feel lucky to know these young students and their families as they get older and continue to learn and grow at Primrose.

Ms. Shelly

Older Infant Teacher

I’m Ms. Shelly and I wanted to tell you a little about myself.

I have previously worked at All About Kids.

I currently attend Columbus State College and am taking classes to receive my degree to become a Vet Tech.

In my spare time, I often enjoy taking walks in nature. As well as listening to music, going to church and spending time with my dogs, cats and family.

I am so excited to work in such a welcoming environment where teachers and staff are focused on one primary goal with children that are lovely.

I can’t wait to learn more about you and your family.
