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.
Nurturing Active Minds, Healthy Bodies, and Happy Hearts

Anna De Jesus
Hello, my name is Anna.
I am excited to be working in the Toddler classroom at The Primrose School of Paramus. I have spent the last 2 years working in Thailand teaching english and math to elementary school students. I love working with children and being a part of their growth and development.
I attended Ramapo College of New Jersey and received a Bachelor’s Degree in International Studies.
On a personal note, I love traveling. I spent two of my breaks in college abroad; the first time volunteering in an animal sanctuary in Costa Rica and the second working with children in Ghana. I also studied abroad in Bangalore, India. I would love the chance to visit every country in the world someday!
