Hello I am Frency Panimayam! Mom of a 12 year old boy. I hold a Masters of Philosophy degree in Arts and ECE units with over 7 years of experience working with 3-5 years old children.

“Teachers truly have a gift of influencing lives inside and outside the classroom” I strongly believe in the transformative power of education and the positive impact teachers can have on the lives of the students.

My dynamic and engaging classroom environment not only captures their attention but also fosters a positive and enjoyable learning atmosphere.

I love inspiring young minds and in my journey as teacher, passion and enthusiasm are contagious.

Hello! I’m Lina Alolabi. I am a mother of three wonderful kids. I started working as a teacher four years ago with second graders, then I worked with preschoolers for two years. That’s when I found out how much I love working with children. I continued working with them and now I’m trying to improve my skills and education. I started taking ECE courses because I am planning to obtain a certificate. I believe that every child is a unique individual with limitless potential. My teaching approach focuses on a fun and inclusive classroom while children can explore, learn and grow at their own pace. I am thrilled to be a part of Primrose School of Evergreen where I get to be a guide and friend to these bright minds. Together, we embark on a delightful adventure, building the foundation for a lifetime of learning. When I’m. not in the classroom, you can find me drinking my coffee, walking and enjoying quality time with family and friends. Glad to be part of your team!

Hello, my name is Sapana Sharma. I have a background in IT and software development with over ten years of experience. I am a full-time mother to my high schooler son.  After moving to the U.S., I decided to transition into the field of early childhood education. This is my first time working with children, and looking forward to gaining more experience in this field. I’m currently completing my Early Childhood Education degree from Mission College, Santa Clara. I am passionate about supporting children of all learning styles and abilities.

In my free time, I enjoy watching movies, cooking, and spending quality time with my family. I also love exploring new places and being outdoors.

I’m excited to join Primrose because I believe in its mission to provide high-quality education in a nurturing environment. I look forward to growing professionally, learning from my team, and making a positive impact on the children and families we serve.

Hello, my name is Theresa. When I first started working with children, I remember I began as a volunteer for a few pre-k programs. I noticed how much I liked helping out and spending time with the kids, which led me to pursue my major in Child Development. By 2021, I’ve graduated from SJSU with a B.A. in this field. During my free time, I like to hang out with my family. At Primrose, I’m looking forward to supporting students in their development and their journey in growing as happy learners!
