Our Preschool Pathways Classroom
Our Preschool Pathways program provides a “bridge” between our Early Preschool and Preschool classrooms for children whose birthdays will ultimately miss the cutoff date for kindergarten entrance. By identifying those children early, we can help them stay with a consistent group of peers through preschool, pre-K and kindergarten.
Nurturing Active Minds, Healthy Bodies, and Happy Hearts®

Our Preschool Pathways Classroom Teachers & Staff

Casey Allen
Hello Primrose Families! My name is Casey Allen. I am originally from Kentucky. My father was in the Army so I grew up living all across our beautiful country as well as overseas in Europe. I moved to Wilmington in 1997 to attend UNCW. After graduation I started teaching for New Hanover Schools. I taught at Williams Elementary for sixteen years. Thirteen of those years I taught in a kindergarten classroom. I am so excited to continue my teaching career here at Primrose School of North Wilmington. I love working in early childhood education because of the excitement young children have for learning. Everyday is an opportunity to learn something new and have fun! My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and nurturing educational environment for your children. I have been married for twelve years and have a three year old son. My family and I enjoy going to the beach, surfing, riding bikes, playing at the park, and exploring all the beautiful places Wilmington has to offer. I can’t wait to work with your amazing children!

Savannah Smith
Hi, Primrose families!
My name is Savannah, and my passion for teaching began 10 years ago when I became a Teacher’s Assistant at my dance studio. After my very first class, I was hooked and haven’t stopped teaching since! Over the years, I’ve taught students ranging from age 2 to adults in a variety of dance genres.
I’m thrilled to step into the classroom in a whole new way here at Primrose! When I’m not in the school or studio, you’ll likely find me with my nose in a book, spending time with my family, or hunting for treasure with my metal detector.
Thank you for welcoming me into the Primrose family. I’m so happy to be here!
