Ms. Katie Camasso
Hi, I’m Mrs. Katie!
Ever since I was younger I wanted to be a teacher. I remember lining up my stuffed animals and teaching them how to read and add. I have worked in the education field for 8+ years, and I have recently completed my Masters Degree in Early Education at Merrimack College. During my time working with children I have learned and believe that most learning occurs when you are having fun. One of my favorite things that happens in the classroom is when students learn something new and their face lights up with joy. I cannot wait to create memories and learning experiences with your child!
Favorite children’s book: “The Giving Tree” by Shel Silverstein, “The Lorax” by dr. Suess
In my personal time: In my free time I enjoy reading books, singing, watching dramas, listening to music, and learning new languages.
What I’m most excited about this school year: To interact with all the children and create happy memories with them.
Ms. Danny Hernandez
Hi, I’m Ms. Danny!
Child care experience: Prior to my role at Primrose, my childcare experience consists of 8 years of babysitting, 3 years of applied behavioral analysis, and working in an after school program for school-aged children.
My favorite thing about working with children: What I love about working with children is watching them experience the world for the first time. I love unapologetically themselves children are. Every day is a new adventure.
Favorite children’s book: The Disney Fairies book series by Penguin Random House.
In my personal time: I like to create art and craft, mainly through sewing and painting. I also love yoga and meditation, and sitting in silence in nature enjoying all the natural sounds the earth creates. I also really love cartoons!
