Our Preschool Pathways Classroom
Our Preschool Pathways program provides a “bridge” between our Early Preschool and Preschool classrooms for children whose birthdays will ultimately miss the cutoff date for kindergarten entrance. By identifying those children early, we can help them stay with a consistent group of peers through preschool, pre-K and kindergarten.

Our Preschool Pathways Classroom Teachers & Staff
Ms. Branstetter
Ms. Branstetter joins Primrose with over 4 years of experience in the childcare field. Ms. Branstetter’s favorite puppet is Erwin because their birthday is the same month, and she loves celebrating birthdays. Noggin Joggin is her favorite time of day. She loves to get those minds moving. When children are in her care, she wants them to feel safe and secure. As they move on to the next classroom, she wants the kids to be able to communicate their needs better. We are so excited to have Ms. Branstetter as a part of our Primrose Family.
Ms. Palacio
Ms. Palacio joins Primrose with over 11 years of experience in the early childhood education field and is continually seeking opportunities to grow as an educator. Her favorite Primrose Pal is Ally, as she strongly believes in taking responsibility for mistakes and learning from them. In the classroom, Ms. Palacio especially enjoys learning time, where she loves seeing children light up as they make meaningful connections during lessons. Above all, she strives to ensure that every child in her care feels safe, supported, and comforted. Ms. Palacio also enjoys engaging children in art activities and sharing stories through reading. We are thrilled to welcome Ms. Palacio as a valued member of our Primrose family.
