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®

Ms. Amy Consalvo
Hello! My name is Ms. Amy Consalvo, and I’m so excited to be part of the Primrose School of Plainfield family. I graduated from the University of St. Francis with a degree in Elementary Education. My first teaching position was in an early childhood classroom—and I’ve never looked back! I have over 20 years of experience working with young children in both child care centers and school settings. My time at Primrose has been a wonderful experience so far. The families are so welcoming, and I truly enjoy being part of this nurturing community. Outside of school, I am married and a proud mom of three children, all of whom are currently away at college. I look forward to helping your children learn, grow, and discover their love of learning each day!
I can’t wait to learn more about you and your family.

Ms. Olivia Miller
My name is Ms. Olivia Miller, and I have been working in the field of childcare for a little over a year. I have always aspired to become a teacher and to work with young children, helping them learn, grow, and develop independence. I earned my Associate Degree in Early Childhood Education from Joliet Junior College, where I gained a strong foundation in child development and educational best practices. A little about me personally I am the youngest of two siblings and have one older brother. I’m also an animal lover with two dogs, one cat, and a fish. In my free time, I enjoy reading and spending quality time with my friends and family. One thing that I like the most about Primrose is that the staff and the leadership are very helpful and understanding. I also love the connection with the parents and with the kids.
