Our Infant Classroom
We know the first year of life can have a big influence on a child’s success in the years that follow. That’s why teachers in your child’s Infant classroom provide a loving and nurturing environment as they lay the foundation for learning. This includes literacy; communication and vocabulary skills to help your infant better express their needs; gross motor skills and sensory development; and emotional well-being.

Our Infant Classroom Teachers & Staff
Ms. Oliveira
I was born in Massachusetts and raised in Brazil, I bring a unique cultural perspective and a warm, caring spirit to work. As the oldest sister to two younger brothers, ages 4 and 16, I had the privilege of helping raise them, which sparked my passion for caring for children. I love seeing the world through the children’s eyes and believes in creating lasting, positive memories for every child in my care. With a nurturing nature and a genuine dedication to children’s well-being, I look forward to providing a safe, supportive, and joyful environment for all the children I works with.
Ms. Greer
With seven years of experience in childcare, I bring both professional expertise and a nurturing heart to my role. As a mother of two and a proud grandmother of two, caring for children has always been a central part of my life. I especially enjoy working with infants—it’s incredibly rewarding to witness the rapid growth and development that takes place during those early stages.Outside of work, I love to express my creativity through crafting. I enjoy making bracelets, scrapbooking, and spending time reading. I’m excited to be part of the Primrose team and look forward to continuing to grow and learn new skills alongside my colleagues.
Mrs. Fry
I am excited to join the Primrose School of Pickerington as an Infant Classroom Teacher. I hold a Bachelor of Specialized Studies degree from Ohio University Zanesville and bring 25 years of experience working with children. Being an infant teacher is incredibly rewarding, as I have the privilege of witnessing children reach significant milestones, such as taking their first steps, speaking their first words, and experiencing the joy of learning and discovery.
