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.

Alyssa Regets
I find joy in knowing that I’m making a positive impact in the lives of my students. There’s nothing more rewarding than seeing them smile and grow as they hit new milestones. I love spending time with my husband and our two dogs. Whether that looks like hanging out at home or exploring new places. Originally from California, I’ve been lucky to call Tennessee my home for the past 3 years and love what this beautiful state has to offer. When I’m not teaching, you can find me watching movies or looking for new places to explore. Teaching is a true passion of mine and the best part is witnessing my students growth and being a part of their learning journey.

I’m Sunny. I wanted to tell you a little about myself.
I just moved to Murfreesboro in December but was born in Dickson. I grew up as a military child and lived all over the U.S., including Hawaii. I recently got engaged and live with my fiancé and our kitten, Myrkul. In my free time I love to write, especially with my fiancé who has published two books. One was written full of poetry about me. I listen to all kinds of music and play guitar. I also spend a lot of time folding origami. I collect hot wheels, something I never grew out of. I also know tons of space facts! I have been working in childcare for over a year and love every bit of it! I cannot wait to see what this year brings!
