🌸 Celebrating TWO Years of Miss April! 🌸

Today we’re celebrating two years of someone who truly is the heart of our school — our amazing Director, Miss April!

Being a director means wearing a lot of hats, and if you know Miss April, you know there really isn’t a hat she won’t wear. On any given day, you might find her being called into a classroom to rescue a bee, plunging a toilet, helping a teacher through a tough moment, or sitting at the front snuggling a sick little one while they wait for Mom or Dad.

That’s just who April is. ❤️

She leads with one of the biggest hearts and genuinely cares about every child, family, and teacher who walks through our doors. She notices the little things and goes out of her way to make people feel valued. Just this week for World Teachers’ Day, she made sure to personally handwrite a note for every single teacher in our building so each of them would walk into their classroom and start the day feeling appreciated.

For the past two years, April has poured so much of herself into Primrose School of Exeter. She celebrates the good days, helps carry the hard ones, jumps in wherever she is needed, and somehow keeps all the pieces moving along the way.

Miss April, thank you for loving this school and our people the way you do. We are so grateful for your leadership, your huge heart, your sense of humor, and your willingness to do everything from the big things… right down to saving the bees. 🐝

Happy 2-Year Anniversary, Miss April! Here’s to many more years of growing, laughing, leading, and making Primrose School of Exeter such a special place. 💕🌸

🍎🌎 Happy World Teachers’ Day! 🌎🍎

Today, we’re celebrating the incredible teachers who make Primrose School of Exeter such a special place to learn and grow! 💕 Their patience, dedication, creativity, and love make a lasting difference in the lives of our children every single day.

Today, we treated our amazing team to a special lunch from Red Mango Asian and a little gift as a heartfelt thank-you for all that they do. 🥢🎁 It’s just one small way for us to show how much we appreciate the heart, energy, and care they bring to our school each day.

We are so grateful for our incredible teachers and the wonderful families who make our PSOE community so special! 💗

📚✨ Growing Minds & Growing Hearts! ✨💚

Our teachers have officially begun our Quarterly STAR Renaissance Early Literacy assessments this week!

These assessments give our teachers valuable insight into our Visionaries’ early literacy development and help us understand where each child is growing and where we can provide additional support. 📖🌱

But we know that who children become is just as important as what they know. 💚

That’s why we also look beyond academics when we assess growth. One of the tools we use to support our understanding of social-emotional development is the Ages & Stages Questionnaires®: Social-Emotional, Second Edition (ASQ).

Together, these assessment tools help give our teachers a more complete picture of each Visionary’s development, from early literacy skills to social-emotional growth. 🧠❤️

We are proud to support the whole child and celebrate every milestone along the way! 🌟

Katrina Laffey has a gift for creating learning experiences that are accessible, memorable and meaningful for every child. 💡​
​
In three years at Primrose School of South Charlotte and 12 years with Primrose overall, Ms. Laffey has built a Pre-K environment that is warm, creative and inclusive. Dramatic play centers change into gardens and coffee shops, a sensory table becomes an invitation to explore and every activity is introduced with genuine enthusiasm.​

Ms. Laffey doesn’t just teach. She builds experiences children and families carry with them long after the school year ends. ❤️​

You may see the packed calendar, the unfinished to-do list or the moments when you wish you could do more.

Your child sees something different. ❤️

They see the hug before drop-off. The excitement at pickup. The encouragement that helps them try again. The familiar routines that remind them they are safe, supported and loved.

This Working Parents Day, we’re celebrating every parent balancing so much while continuing to show up with love. You are making more of a difference than you know.

Share this with a working parent who needs to hear it today. 📨

Friendship skills start early, and parents can nurture them in simple, everyday ways. 💛​

​Try modeling the kindness you want your child to show, naming emotions to build empathy, creating opportunities for compassion and helping your child see differences as something to celebrate. 🌟​

​At Primrose, teachers build on these same skills through purposeful play and nurturing guidance. Learn more ways to help your child become a good friend. https://bit.ly/4iI5Uoq

The best part of a new school year might just be the stories that come home each day. ​

The new friend they met. The picture they're proud of. The classroom tradition they can't stop talking about. The little moments that help school start to feel like a second home. ✨​

Across Primrose schools, students are settling into new routines, building connections and creating memories that families will remember long after this school year ends.​

​What's one story, moment or accomplishment your child couldn't wait to tell you about after school? Share in the comments below or post a photo of them enjoying the new school year. 📸

Amanda Frost helps children grow in ways families never imagined possible. 🌱​

At Primrose School of O'Fallon at WingHaven, Mrs. Frost pays close attention to every student’s progress, and she differentiates instruction and adapts lessons in real time to meet each child’s individual needs.​
​
Children leave her classroom emotionally prepared for kindergarten and academically ahead of expectations. Mrs. Frost has built a classroom culture so warm and consistent that children who once struggled with anxiety, transitions or self-confidence walk out ready for what comes next.​

When offered a leadership position this year, she chose to stay with her students. That choice says everything. ❤️​

When children at Primrose School of Carmel explored community helpers, they learned that kindness can be delivered in many ways. 💌​

Angela Levingston has spent 24 years turning everyday lessons into unforgettable learning experiences. 🌟​

In Mrs. Levingston’s classroom, a sheet of yellow poster board becomes a New York City skyline, simple materials transform into a three-ring circus, and a classroom wall turns into the world of Charlotte’s Web.​

Behind every transformation is purposeful teaching: smooth transitions, clear expectations and meaningful learning woven into each experience. She proves again and again that extraordinary education is both an art and a science.​
​
Her impact lives in the confidence she builds, the character she nurtures and the guidance she shares with colleagues. Twenty-four years in, Mrs. Levingston is still the standard. ❤️​
