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. Virginia Petzke
Hello! I am Mrs. Petzke, and I am so grateful to be part of the infant care team at Primrose School of North Scottsdale.
After 31 wonderful years teaching in elementary education, I transitioned to Primrose to follow my passion for early childhood development. Having cherished memories of my own two sons during their baby years, I find so much joy in getting to experience those priceless, everyday milestones again alongside your little ones. Infants are naturally loving, curious, and sweet, and helping them feel safe, nurtured, and celebrated is the best part of my day.
