Miss Frency
Miss Frency
Transitional Kindergarten Teacher

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.

 

Miss Lina
Miss Lina
Transitional Kindergarten Teacher

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!
