Our After School Care
Our Explorer program is designed to nurture Active Minds, Healthy Bodies, and Happy Hearts® in children starting at five years old. Your child can relax, make friends, get homework help and continue to learn while having fun as they explore creative expression, sports, technology, drama, music, games and more.

Our After School Classroom Teachers & Staff
Ms. Espinosa
Ms. Espinosa brings more than 10 years of experience in early childhood education to the Explorers classroom at Primrose School of Tampa Palms. She is passionate about creating a warm and nurturing environment where children feel safe, valued, and excited to learn each day. She holds a Child Development Associate (CDA) Credential specializing in Birth through 5 years and enjoys helping children develop confidence, independence, and a love of learning.
One of Ms. Espinosa’s favorite parts of working with children is experiencing the joy and laughter they bring each day while celebrating their unique personalities. She feels honored to watch children reach important milestones and to partner with families throughout their child’s early learning journey. Through Primrose’s Balanced Learning approach, she encourages children to grow socially, emotionally, physically, and academically while building skills that will support them as they continue through school.
Ms. Espinosa speaks both English and Spanish, helping create a welcoming and inclusive classroom for children and families. Her favorite children’s book is The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein because of its timeless message about kindness, generosity, and caring for others.
Outside of the classroom, Ms. Espinosa enjoys reading, spending quality time with her family, and dancing salsa. Christmas is her favorite holiday because it brings loved ones together to celebrate special traditions and create lasting memories.
Fun Fact: If I wasn’t a teacher, I would be a salsa dancer.
