Primrose School of North Shore - Danvers

l am Luz Matul. I wanted to tell you a little about myself.
My career in Early Education began when I started working as an intern in an Infant/Toddler Classroom in June 2018. A year later, I graduated with my Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology from Emmanuel College in Boston, MA. Upon receiving my degree, I began working full-time as a teacher and fell in love with it. After almost four years in the field, I have discovered that my heart and passion are in the Infant Classrooms. There, I can be myself. There, I can see the world through a different perspective. I believe that I learn a lot from my infants, just as they do from their teachers, and that is why I am beyond excited to be working as an Infant Teacher at Primrose School of the North Shore.

​I graduated from East Carolina University with a degree in Elementary Education and Concentration in Reading.  I have worked at various schools and programs which have given me an appreciation for different age groups and approaches to learning.
