Hi my name is Jenni. I have worked in the child care industry for over 25 years. I have been at Primrose School of West Woods since July of 2000. I began as a Lead teacher, moved to Assistant Director and then became the Director in 2004. I am currently moving into an owner role. I have my bachelor's degree in Behavioral Sciences, went through the Elementary Education program at Metropolitan State College (now University) and have my Early Childhood Director's Certificate.
Hi my name is Stephanie Barr and I typically go by Steph. I have been part of the Primrose family since September 2014 and have 12 years of experience in the childcare field. I also received my Director's credential and have started training in the office to take on some of the management responsibilities. In my free time I enjoy playing at the lake, going on random day adventures, playing with my nieces and nephew, doing crafts and playing board games.
Hi my name is Lisa Denning. I have been part of the Primrose family since April of 2008. I have lived in Arvada my entire life. I have been married for 7 years and have a 11 year old son. I graduated from Arvada West High School. I have predominantly taught in the Toddler and Early Preschool I classrooms. In my free time I enjoy bowling, bike rides, spending time with friends and cooking.
Hi, my name is Judy Kolbe and I have been with Primrose since May of 2001. I have been in this field since 1992. I started at Children’s World at an on-site school before and after school program, for about a year. Then I moved to the Children's World center as a pre-kindergarten assistant teacher. When the position of lead teacher became available, I accepted the position and remained there until 1998 when I left the center to try an in-home center.
In 2001 I came to Primrose and have worked as an assistant and lead teacher in the Early Preschool rooms and then I took the position of bus driver and support teacher where I get to meet all the children as I visit each of the rooms.
Before working with children, I worked for a check printing company for 14 years. I started working with children to also help raise my own three children and learn how to help them succeed in their school and lives.
I continue to learn from the children every day, and enjoy them very much!
When I'm not working I enjoy camping and watching my grandkids sports games.
Thank you for sharing your childrens’ lives with me!
Hi my name is Therese I have worked at Primrose since December of 2016. I am the assistant teacher in the 4K I classroom. I have 30 years of experience in working with children in preschool and public schools. I have degrees in elementary education and special education and I have experience in teaching in schools in Colorado, Texas and New Mexico. After 17 years of teaching I became a stay-at-home mom, tutoring and doing in-home daycare. After 11 years I went back to work outside of the home. I really enjoy working with the 3 and 4 year olds. For fun I enjoy hiking, reading, watching movies and camping.

Hi, my name is Lin Gonzales. I have always had a deep love of children and have worked in child care and education since 1974. My first position was as a 3-year-old preschool teacher and cook. Since that start, I have worked in every position including bus driver, kindergarten teacher, infant nursery supervisor, and center director. I returned to the classroom because I missed being with the children. I am currently a closer in the older infant room here at Primrose.
I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Elementary Education. I also returned to school to take classes to become a child care center director. I still enjoy talking classes to help me stay current with fresh and new ideas!
I was married 38 years before my husband passed away. We had one daughter together, but my husband had six children, so I am step-mom and step-grandmom to a large brood. My daughter has two children and I love being a grandmother. When I am not working or enjoying my large family I enjoy reading, camping and singing in my church choir.
