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
Ms. Karen Carlos
Hello, my name is Ms. Karen. I am a mom to a 4-year-old who also attends Primrose. I have almost 3 years of childcare experience and strive to help continue shape the minds of your little ones. I cannot wait to love on them like my own!
Ms. Isabella Espitia
Hello, My name is Isabella, but the children call me Ms. Bella because that’s what my family does. I graduated with my bachelor’s degree in Human Development and Family Sciences with a minor in Social Work from the University of Texas at Austin (Go Longhorns!). I lived in Austin while I got my degree, but I am a born and raised Houstonian. I love working with children, and my favorite part is playing games and working on our art skills. I hope to get to know your family!
Ms. Betty Criss
Hello, my name is Ms. Betty. I joined Primrose in 2017 with 7 years of childcare experience. The reason I work in childcare is because I really love children. They have a special place in my heart. All their sweet hugs, and smiling faces make my day. Watching these little faces light up while I teach them fills me with joy! I grew up with a loving mother, so I believe my students deserve that same love from me. I want them to know each day that they are special, adored, and loved. I truly love all my sweet babies!
