Our Pre-Kindergarten Classroom
Primrose® introduces and reinforces new information through playful exploration, teacher-guided inquiry and rich discussion as they help foster Active Minds, Healthy Bodies, and Happy Hearts®. Your child will have fun every day as they play and learn important academic skills, social skills and more, because when they are mentally, physically and emotionally ready to learn a skill, they develop mastery.

Our Pre-Kindergarten Classroom Teachers & Staff
Mrs. Sifuentes
Hello! My name is Mrs. Sifuentes. I was born in Texas but grew up in Mexico. I have been teaching for 10 years. I love spending my free with my family. We enjoy going on walks, visiting the zoo and playing soccer. I am happy to be part of the Primrose family.

Ms. Kuykendall
Hi, my name is Ms. Kuykendall, but you can call me Ms. K! I’ve been working in education since 2023 and am currently pursuing my bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education. Originally from Henderson, Nevada, I love bringing that same sunny energy into my classroom each day. When I’m not teaching or studying, you can usually find me working on a crochet project, baking something sweet, or getting lost in a good book.
Mrs. Padmore
Hello! My name is Mrs. Padmore. I have been married for 26 years and have 2 children, Maleek – 22 & Mila – 13, and 2 fur babies Amber and Autumn! My passion for Early childhood Education started back in 1999. Over these past 25 yrs of experience, I have had many roles including being a director. I truly love teaching Pre-K and providing the children with a safe and nurturing environment. I’m so excited to teach your child and watch them grow!
Mrs. Hagins
Hi, I’m Mrs. Hagins! I recently graduated from Chapman University in Orange, California with a degree in Psychology. Before joining the Primrose team, I worked as an ABA therapist—and I absolutely love supporting young children as they grow, learn, and discover the world around them. I was born in Miami, Florida, but spent most of my life in Wellesley, Massachusetts. As one of five siblings (and the only girl!), I grew up surrounded by sports and activity. I played Division III lacrosse in college, so staying active and encouraging healthy movement is something I bring into the classroom every day.
Ms. Schoeduby
Hi! My name is Ms. Schoeduby. I am currently participating in the ACC Tech Teach program as I work toward earning my bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education. In my free time, I enjoy lifting weights at the gym and playing video games on lazy days with my two cats. Although I was born in Waco, I moved to the Austin area when I was eight years old and have lived here ever since. Nurturing children as they grow into their unique selves is a true passion of mine and incredibly rewarding. I hope to inspire children to stay active, be creative, and explore their interests regularly. I am so grateful for the opportunity to be part of their learning journey!
