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.
Nurturing Active Minds, Healthy Bodies, and Happy Hearts®

Hello, my name is Belice,
I am so excited to be joining the Primrose family!
Since 2021, I have been working in schools and it has been incredibly rewarding to build connections with children, while helping them feel comfortable, confident, and supported.
I truly enjoy being a part of their growth and watching them learn something new everyday. While working here I hope to inspire children to explore, learn and feel proud of their achievements.
