Our Toddler Classroom
An action-packed day full of fun and purposeful play helps toddlers develop Active Minds, Healthy Bodies, and Happy Hearts®. We know 1-year-olds are constantly on the move, exploring and learning through play at every turn. Primrose teachers use that energy and enthusiasm to foster cognitive, social, emotional and physical skills through engaging games and activities.
Nurturing Active Minds, Healthy Bodies, and Happy Hearts

Our Toddler Classroom Teachers & Staff
Ms. Greta
Ms. Greta has been working with little ones for five years and has truly found her passion in caring for Toddlers —especially since becoming a mom herself! Her creativity and warmth shine through in everything she does. A fun fact about Ms. Greta is that she’s also a professional violinist and singer!
Ms. Raechelle
Hi everyone, I’m Ms. Raechelle, and I’m one of the teachers in the Young Toddler Program.
I’m so excited to begin my first year of teaching! One of my favorite things is watching kids learn, grow, and explore new things. I love seeing their curiosity, creativity, and those exciting “aha!” moments!
When I’m not teaching, I enjoy reading, drawing, and spending time with my five amazing kids. Being a mom of five has definitely taught me a thing or two about patience, creativity, and keeping things interesting!
And one fun fact about me: my favorite color is teal!
I’m looking forward to learning, laughing, and making lots of wonderful memories together!
Mrs. Kami
Hello, my name is Kami and I’ve been teaching for a year, and I love it. I’ve been raising my own three kids for 17 years; what I like most about working with kids is being part of their growth. I enjoy coming into work every day and seeing them smile. Things I like to do outside of work are spending time with my family.
Ms. My
I’m Ms My. I’ve worked at Primrose for almost 5 years, and in the daycare field for about 12 years. I worked with the 1-year-olds, and I loved my job. In my free time, I drive for DoorDash. My favorite thing to do is to talk to people. I also love spending time with my own kids whenever I get a chance. My next goal is to go on a cruise!
Mrs. Samantha
Ms. Sam is still in the beginning stages of the adventure that is Early Childhood Education but she has been involved in programs catered to helping children learn, grow, and express themselves freely since teenhood. Many of those programs focused on art, music and theater, subjects that she is quite passionate about. At Primrose, Ms. Sam can be found in Young Toddlers, encouraging her students to try their best while also making sure there is plenty of fun and laughter, too! Outside the classroom, she enjoys playing video games with her partner, drawing for hours and spending time baking with her son as a taste tester.
Ms. Breanna
Hello, my name is Ms. Bre. I have been working in childcare for 3 years, going on 4, and I truly love working with children. One of my favorite parts of childcare is being able to bring joy to the children while creating fun, creative activities that help them learn and explore. Outside of work, I enjoy practicing lashes and playing volleyball. A few fun facts about me are that I love skating, traveling, and spending time enjoying beautiful sunsets and sunrises. I’m always excited to create new memories, try new things, and bring positive energy wherever I go!
Ms. Chrissy
Hi! My name is Christiana, but I go by Ms. Chrissy, and I’m the toddler teacher here at Primrose Schools of Urbandale. I’m currently an ECE student working toward my AAS and plan to continue my education after that. I love working at Primrose because of the amazing sense of community and support you feel here every day. Outside of work and school, I enjoy hanging out with my family, especially my nephew and nieces. I’m excited to keep growing in early childhood education and making a positive impact on the children and families here at Primrose, using what I learn.
