Hello! I’m Veronica Cervantez.
I’m excited to share a little bit about myself with you!
I’ve been working with young children and adolescents for over 20 years, and it’s truly been a rewarding journey. What I love most about working with children is witnessing their growth and development over time. It’s amazing to see their personalities shine and their confidence grow. One of my favorite activities to do with the kids is enrichment art—it gives them a chance to express themselves creatively and bring their unique ideas to life.
I’m looking forward to learning more about you and your family as we begin this school year together!

Hi, I’m Ms. Danielle!
I’m excited to introduce myself and share a little about my background.
I was born and raised in San Jose, California, and from a young age, I knew I wanted to become a teacher. My passion for working with children began early—babysitting my younger cousins, volunteering in classrooms at my former elementary school, and even coaching girls’ softball for two seasons.
I’ve been teaching preschoolers for the past seven years. I began with pre-kindergarten for three years, then moved on to teaching three-year-olds for another three. Before joining Primrose, I worked with a mix of two-year-olds and young three’s. I truly enjoy helping children learn, grow, and have fun along the way!
Outside of the classroom, I love spending time with my family and friends, watching movies, attending concerts, traveling, and, of course, grabbing a good cup of coffee.
I’m thrilled to be part of the Primrose team and can’t wait to get to know all of you!

Hi I’m Diane, these are the few things about myself. I was born in the Philippines and decided to live here in the US. I have been working in a kindergarten in the Philippines for a year before I came here. I love working with kids. When I was 6 years old, a bunch of kids from our neighborhood taught basic knowledge to others. It’s my privilege to work here at Primrose Community! Furthermore, every weekend I love spending time with my family, together eating my favorite food, ramen! And make music. I am looking forward to working, learning, and sharing my fun ideas with the students and meeting new kids and parents in this community!
