Our Early Preschool Classroom
Many 2-year-olds want to do everything by themselves. And why not? It’s their way of experimenting and learning to understand the world. Early Preschool teachers provide a safe, nurturing environment where your child can explore and stretch their talents to the fullest all while building self-confidence. Your child will have fun every day as they play and learn important academic skills, social skills and more.

Ms. Hackney
Hi! I recently graduated from Kansas State University (GO CATS!) with by Bachelor’s Degree in Social Work. A few of my passions are helping others and making sure everyone has a voice. I love watching movies and TV shows. My cat Stormy loves watching them with me as well! I am so excited to be a part of the Primrose family and can’t wait to give all children a safe space and fun environment to learn!
Ms. Kennedy
Hi! I am currently attending UMKC #RooUP. Working with children and with Primrose will give me valuable skills that I will be able to use for a lifetime. I have always loved working with children. Learning to adapt quickly and calmly has become a skill I am proud to say I owe this all to children I have taught. After graduating from UMKC I plan to start working in medical device sales. Until then, I am so excited to fulfill my passion for working with kids!

I am a true introvert. Being around young children brings a true brightness to my days. In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my family and boyfriend. I am the proud “mom” to my two dachshunds, Dexter and Maisie.
