Our Preschool Classroom
Your 3-year-old is opening up their world, developing special friendships, learning new words and forming new ideas every day. Through purposeful play, meaningful questions and direct instruction, our Preschool teachers encourage your child to think in new and different ways. Your child will have so much fun that they won’t even realize they’re developing the skills they’ll need for reading and math.

Our Preschool Classroom Teachers & Staff
Ms. Clark
At Primrose School of Wesley Chapel, we know the pre-kindergarten years are a critical time for building confidence, independence, and a love of learning. Ms. Clark brings five years of early childhood education experience and a background from the University of Central Florida to her classroom, creating a balanced environment where learning is fun, structured, and full of creativity.
Families appreciate Ms. Clark’s warm, patient, and encouraging approach, as she helps children explore, take risks, and develop essential social, emotional, and early academic skills. She fosters a classroom where each child feels seen, supported, and confident, laying the foundation for school readiness and lifelong learning. Her favorite children’s book, If You Give a Mouse a Cookie, inspires playful, engaging literacy experiences that make learning meaningful and memorable.
Bilingual in English and Japanese, Ms. Clark brings cultural awareness to her classroom, helping children appreciate the world around them. Outside of school, she enjoys creative writing, working out, beach days, and spending time with family and friends.
With Ms. Clark guiding the way, your child will grow academically, socially, and emotionally in a nurturing, joyful environment.
Fun Fact: If I wasn’t a teacher, I would be a pediatric nurse.
