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.

  • Frequent disinfecting and sanitizing of high-touch toys
  • Frequent handwashing by children and staff, which is embedded in our curriculum and daily staff protocols
  • Training teachers on common signs of illness in children, and placing signage in every classroom to keep signs of illness top of mind
  • Daily laundering of crib sheets for infants; for older children, individual cots and blankets are provided for each child and laundered weekly
  • Ensuring appropriate teacher-student classroom ratios
  • Continuous health & safety training for our staff, including first aid and CPR certification

Preschool Pathways Lead Teacher

Greetings! My name is Deborah Velasquez and I am delighted to be part of the Primrose Crossroads Park team. I have nearly 10 years of experience in the field of Early Education and Care and it is my pride and joy to impact children’s lives and help them to reach each milestone. Not only do I love to educate young minds, but I also am a registered dental assistant and love to use this in the classroom teaching children daily hygiene habits and care routines. In my personal time, I enjoy spending time with my family, listening to music and enjoying movie days! Thank you for giving me the privilege and honor of teaching your child!
