Our Toddler Classroom
An action-packed day full of fun and purposeful play helps toddlers develop Active Minds, Healthy Bodies, and Happy Hearts®. We know 1-year-olds are constantly on the move, exploring and learning through play at every turn. Primrose teachers use that energy and enthusiasm to foster cognitive, social, emotional and physical skills through engaging games and activities.

Ms. Daisy
Hi! My name is Desiderata, and I grew up in Malawi. I moved to the U.S. in December 2023 and currently live in Lawrence. I earned my bachelor’s degree in social science from the University of Malawi in 2015 . My most recent work experience since 2021 includes research in health economics policy at Kamuzu University of Health Sciences, Malawi Liverpool Welcome Program, and TCRET consulting. In my free time I find joy in reading and engaging in chess. My son was born in 2025 and also attends Primrose. My passion for working with children started when I volunteered at an African orphanage where I taught math and chess to school age children to enhance their problem-solving abilities and critical thinking.
