Our Preschool Pathways Classroom

Our Preschool Pathways program provides a “bridge” between our Early Preschool and Preschool classrooms for children whose birthdays will ultimately miss the cutoff date for kindergarten entrance. By identifying those children early, we can help them stay with a consistent group of peers through preschool, pre-K and kindergarten.

Hi, my name is Ms. Michelle. I am a Preschool teacher at Primrose School. In addition to working full time, I am also a full-time student majoring in psychology with the hopes of obtaining my PhD in psychology.

I’ve been a babysitter for many years, and I am excited to bring my nurture and warmth into the preschool classroom. I look forward to expanding my classroom experience as well as making your children’s experience an unforgettable one!

On a personal note: I am the only girl out of 4. My favorite color is lilac, and I really enjoy photography.

I am grateful for the opportunity to be a part of Primrose Paramus!
