Kindergarten Classrooms – The Primrose Schools Experience

It is time for Kindergarten Registration for the 2020-2021 school year and we only have a couple spots left!

It is hard to believe this time is already here. As parents, we knew this time was going to come, but it seems like we are not quite ready to let our little ones spread their own wings and fly. At Primrose School of Ashburn, we are here to assist you and your child through this transition.

If you are interested in learning more about our Kindergarten program and were not able to attend our Kindergarten Parent Information session, please contact us to schedule a time to learn more about our Accredited Private program.

Deadline to register is June 15, 2020.

🌈Color Matching Game🌈

Is your little one excited about learning colors?
This game will be so much fun. You just need some paper, markers, and colored manipulatives (pom poms, colored pasta, legos, etc.). You'll need to make color cards (color dots on paper that match the colors of your manipulatives). Then you can make a color di or even have colors for your child to draw from a hat or cup. Once they roll or draw the color then they can cover up that color on their card. 🤩

On our last day of the month, we would like to highlight our AMAZING teacher Ms. Jamie! Jamie is approaching her two year anniversary with us this August and she has been a team player the entire time. She is best known for creating fun art projects for whichever classroom she is helping with. One of her favorite things about working with children is watching their respect for each other grow! Jamie has formed many special bonds with our littlest students and is often who they run to in the mornings during drop off. If you have ever noticed extra photos on your daily report, it is likely Jamie was in the classroom capturing those precious moments! Jamie is in the unique position of being able to help in all classrooms and it has been so great seeing her have such a big impact school wide. Thanks Ms. Jamie, you are awesome!

Primrose Sides with Families During the Pandemic

Broadlands News, the magazine of the Broadlands community, has published a wonderful article about our school...we are always very proud to be of help to our families! :)

issuu.com During these challenging times, the Primrose School of Ashburn is providing a much-needed refuge and safe space for many children in our community.

Daily word and sound play are important ways to build phonological awareness, a critically important early literacy skill. Find out how to develop this skill at Online with Og: https://bit.ly/2A2Dt1b

Today we would like to highlight our amazing Explorer’s teacher, Ms. Tammy! Tammy has close to 14 years of experience, with the majority being with school age children. She serves as our Before and After school teacher during the school year and even gets to drive the bus to pick up her students to provide safe transportation to the school! She is an important part of their day and we know she is loved by all. In the summer time, Tammy runs the Summer Camp and loves coming up with fun science experiments, cooking projects and various crafts. One of her favorite things about her age group is being able to have longer conversations and experiencing the many diverse personalities in her classroom. Tammy is known as the school’s Artist Extraordinaire and many times you have seen her artwork sent home for the children to color in. We appreciate all of Tammy’s extra effort to make the school age program truly magical every day!

Today we would like to highlight our AMAZING Private Kindergarten teacher, Ms. Krystal! No seriously, her Fall Kindergarten class is nearly full so please turn in your registrations as soon as possible as we are expecting to move to a waitlist very soon. She has a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology from Lee University in Tennessee with an emphasis in Child Development. While in college, she worked in a child development research lab, and that is where she developed a passion for play therapy. Here at Primrose we know how to foster education through play with our Balanced Learning Curriculum and Krystal has implemented this beautifully. She firmly believes that the early years of school should be used to instill a love for school and learning in children as a foundation for their educational journey up to and through their college years. A fun fact about Krystal is that she has also spent two summers teaching in India, and she still works with the organization while stateside. We are so grateful to have her teach our Private Kindergarten this year and years to come!

We are excited to announce a new partnership with Curious World, an early learning app that will give your children access to explore an ever-expanding world of curiosity-building fun. Click here to check out new games, videos, and activities aligned to our weekly theme: https://bit.ly/2ZqOT9C

Today we would like to highlight our amazing Housekeeper/Sous Chef Maria Paz Otero! Many of you have probably noticed her first thing in the morning sterilizing all the door handles in the building and paying special attention to the front lobby entrance. We believe Ms. Maria’s increased sanitation methods in addition to her already above and beyond standards are the reason our school has remained safe and healthy and we are SO GRATEFUL in a time like this! She has three children including one boy and two girls and loves her Primrose students as well. During her free time, she enjoys spending time with her family and singing. We are so happy to have Ms. Maria as part of our Primrose family!

Confetti Hearts

A simple craft that shows lots of love. All you need is paper, whole puncher, glue, and string. You can help your kiddo punch out the colored paper of their choice. You can draw the heart shapes or just use the glue to make the shapes. Once the glue is down, your child can sprinkle the paper confetti onto the paper. The string can be used to turn the hearts into flowers or balloons. This will be sure to spread the love!🥰💞

Is it heavy or light? Gather a variety of everyday objects such as empty plastic bottles and stuffed toys to explore the properties of weight. Click here for more: https://bit.ly/2T4vyHz

Today we turn to our older classrooms to honor one of our Pre-Kindergarten teachers, Ms. Nalika! She joined the Primrose Ashburn family in 2016 and is currently in her fourth school year with us. Ms. Nalika is often spotted running around with the children outside during outdoor time and loves to be both physically and academically engaged in everything she teaches. Her favorite subject to teach this age group is math, as it is often one of the first times the concepts are not too abstract for them to comprehend and explore further than their earlier years in school. When asked why she loves Pre-Kindergarten the best, Ms. Nalika said it is because she has the opportunity to dive into so many different subjects with them on a daily basis, from science all the way to introductory history! She is truly a teacher worth having in a child’s early learning experience. Thank you Ms. Nalika!

Today we would like to highlight our Preschool teacher, Mrs. Cross. She joined our Primrose Ashburn family in 2014 and has been loved by every student who walks through her door! Mrs. Cross lives on a farm in West Virginia with her husband and three children. They have ducks and chickens and she has been known to bring them for educational purposes to school every once in a while at our Spring Flings. Recently she even brought in some duck eggs for Mrs. Sally! Mrs. Cross enjoys the curiosity of her preschoolers and their constant questioning to learn more. Many times a conversation can take twists and turns because Preschoolers are always asking “why.” Thank you Mrs. Cross for all that you do!

Today we highlight a member of our Early Preschool team. Ms. Dulce Miranda-Vega transitioned to the Early Preschool classroom from the Preschool Pathways room and was excited to see her students start to return and be with them again! Throughout her years in school, she met many teachers whom she admired. Now that Dulce has the opportunity of being a teacher for her students, she strives to be the kind of teacher that they look up to with admiration and love. Nothing is better than knowing that she is a part of transforming the future through teaching, and seeing her kids grow to be successful is her biggest joy! During Ms. Dulce’s free time, she enjoys spending time with family and going on walks. We are so happy to have Ms. Dulce as part of our Primrose family!
