Our Early Preschool Classroom

Many 2-year-olds want to do everything by themselves. And why not? It’s their way of experimenting and learning to understand the world. Early Preschool teachers provide a safe, nurturing environment where your child can explore and stretch their talents to the fullest all while building self-confidence. Your child will have fun every day as they play and learn important academic skills, social skills and more.

Hi my name is Marilyn and I am twenty three years old. My birthday is December 21st so its no surprise that I absolutely love the winter. I’ve been working in early childhood education for three years. I recently graduated this year with my associates degree in Education. I couldn’t be happier to be apart of this field. Teaching is truly my passion. Building meaningful connections with students and being surrounded by  appositive learning environment are my favorite part of the job. A few fun things about myself are I have two sisters, my favorite color is blue and my favorite hobby is shopping. I’m so excited to bring my experience energy and love for teaching to primrose.

Genoveva Tricoche
Early Preschool Teacher

My name is Ms. Gen, and I grew up in Old Bridge, New Jersey, where I attended Old Bridge High school. During my senior year, I started working at my first daycare, which led me into the field of early childhood education. I love working with children because they express themselves freely and are always learning and experiencing new things. I came into this field knowing how important it is for children to have advocate. As a child, I needed that kind of support but never had it, which motivates me even more as an adult. I strive to be what I once needed for kids – a mentor, a guide and a safe space. I have experience working with children of all ages, from infants to 6 years old. I have also worked with children with special needs and am passionate about helping every child feel seen, supported and valued.
