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.

Grace Golding
Hi families! My name is Grace, and I’m so excited to be part of your child’s early learning journey. I’m currently studying Psychology with a concentration in Child Development, and I love applying what I learn to help children grow socially, emotionally, and academically. I believe every child learns best through play, curiosity, and connection. My goal is to create a warm and engaging classroom environment where children feel safe to express themselves, explore new ideas, and build confidence in their abilities. Outside of work, I enjoy creative hobbies like dancing, singing, and writing, which often inspire fun and hands-on activities for the kids. I’m thrilled to be part of such an important stage in their development and can’t wait to get to know each family!
Sarah Perez
Hi! My name is Sarah. I moved to Wilmington from Southern California to attend UNCW, where I graduated in 2018 with my bachelor’s degree in Public Health. I fell in love with Wilmington so much that I decided to stay! I have worked in childcare for many years and have loved every second of it. Watching a child grow and learn about the world around them is what made me fall in love with teaching. When I am not in the classroom I love spending time with my friends, my dog and exploring all that Wilmington has to offer. I am so excited to join the Primrose team and continue to grow, learn and work with you and your little one(s)!
