Our Pre-Kindergarten Classroom
Primrose® introduces and reinforces new information through playful exploration, teacher-guided inquiry and rich discussion as they help foster Active Minds, Healthy Bodies, and Happy Hearts®. Your child will have fun every day as they play and learn important academic skills, social skills and more, because when they are mentally, physically and emotionally ready to learn a skill, they develop mastery.

Maliyah Ison
Over the years, I’ve had the joy of working with children of all ages and gaining experience in both the classroom and as administration. As both an educator and a mom, I understand how important it is for parents and schools to work together. That partnership is the key to helping children feel confident and supported as they learn. My goal is to teach curiosity, compassion, and resilience to be ready to take on the world; because I believe every moment in early childhood helps shape the amazing adults they’ll become.

I was born in Florida and completed my college degree at the University of Maryland Eastern Shore. Go Hawks! I am excited to join Primrose Gaithersburg as I continue to build my passion for shaping the lives of young children. Watching my students grow and become successful is at the heart of what I do.
