Our Infant Classroom

We know the first year of life can have a big influence on a child’s success in the years that follow. That’s why teachers in your child’s Infant classroom provide a loving and nurturing environment as they lay the foundation for learning. This includes literacy; communication and vocabulary skills to help your infant better express their needs; gross motor skills and sensory development; and emotional well-being.

Ms. Kelly

Infant 2 Lead Teacher

Meet Ms. Kelly! 🌸

My name is Mrs. Kelly and I’m so excited to be your child’s teacher. I have been working with children for over 5 years now. Since I was younger, I always knew that I wanted to work with children because of my genuine love for helping children. My dream was to be a pediatrician, but over time, my plans changed, and I became an early childhood teacher.

I started my career in 2019 as a babysitter, and it was a very rewarding experience, so I decided to go to college to obtain a degree in early childhood education. When I was at college, I had the opportunity to work at a daycare center as an assistant teacher. Once I obtained the credits, I was promoted to lead teacher in the preschool classroom, where I worked for 3 years until I had the opportunity to work here at Primrose.

I was born and raised in Colombia and came to this country when I was 20 years old. My husband and I have been married for over 11 years now, and we have our son and a dog. In my free time, I like to go on a walk, watch movies, try new restaurants, travel, and spend time with my family.

Ms. Amanda

Infant 3 Lead Teacher

Meet Ms. Amanda! 🌸

I have a BA in Early Childhood Education and Psychology. I have been working with young children since I graduated in 1999. I worked with infants and toddlers in childcare for over 10 years. I then decided to provide childcare out of my home for several years! My heart is with infants and toddlers because I love nurturing their curiosity and watching them reach their milestones. My favorite holiday is Christmas. I love Christmas music and putting up decorations. I have three children, ages 21,19, and 15 + 8 pets. I have three dogs (Max, Molly, Greta), three cats (Chino, Mis, and Rosie), a black velveteen rabbit named Rocco, and a parakeet named Tweety. In my personal time, I love to travel with my kids, read, and do crossstitch!

Infant Program At Primrose School of Winfield, we believe the earliest months of life deserve extraordinary care. Our infant program provides a safe, nurturing environment where each baby is known, loved, and cared for as an individual. We provide educational care for infants beginning at 3 months of age through our three infant classrooms, thoughtfully designed to support each stage of development. By intentionally maintaining enrollment below Illinois state licensing capacity, our teachers have more opportunities to build meaningful relationships, provide individualized attention, and create the consistency that helps infants feel secure. Our teachers partner closely with families to follow each baby's personalized routine for feeding, sleeping, and play while encouraging early developmental milestones through responsive caregiving, sensory exploration, music, language, and purposeful interactions. Every cuddle, smile, and conversation helps build the trust and confidence that lay the foundation for lifelong learning. Please Note: Our infant classrooms are typically booked 8–9 months in advance. We encourage families to join our waitlist as early as possible to reserve their child's place and begin their Primrose journey with us.
