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.

Hi there, I’m Ms. Lalley. Let me tell you a little about myself. Over the years, I’ve gained valuable
experience in childcare and I’m passionate about fostering a safe and nurturing environment for young ones to
thrive – thanks to my brother and sister for blessing me with 8 little ones! I’m excited to bring my
knowledge and dedication to Primrose and make a positive impact in the lives of children and their families.
In my free time, I enjoy reading, going on hikes and being with my family! I hope someday soon I’ll have my
own children that’ll be a part of the Primrose Family.
