Nurturing Active Minds, Healthy Bodies, and Happy Hearts
Active Minds

The early years of your child’s life are the most important for literacy development. Your child is immersed in many rich literacy activities each day to support their emerging early literacy skills.
- Science, Engineering & TechnologyScience, Engineering & Technology
Children are natural scientists and engineers. They turn their environment upside down trying to discover how objects work! Teachers extend this learning by engaging your child in meaningful questioning and discussion. Your pre-kindergartener also uses scientific tools to observe, explore, record, ask questions and form and test hypotheses.

Your child is comparing and sorting objects, recognizing quantities without counting (subitizing), and identifying, extending and creating patterns as they prepare for math operations like addition, division and even algebra.

In the pre-kindergarten classroom, your child will also practice taking turns, self-control, cooperation and negotiation skills. Your child learns about respect, kindness, and generosity and how important these traits are when working with others.

I can tell everyone is genuinely happy. I am very grateful to be a part of such a welcoming community. I am from Mokena, Illinois and have been working with children since 2016. I have my Bachelor’s Degree in Early Childhood Education. When I completed my degree, I left Primrose for a year to teach first grade, but soon realized how much I missed it here so I returned. When I’m at home I enjoy reading and playing with my Corgi. I am most excited about getting to know the kids and seeing the growth and progress they make over the year.
