Our Infant Classroom
We know the first year of life can have a big influence on a child’s success in the years that follow. That’s why teachers in your child’s Infant classroom provide a loving and nurturing environment as they lay the foundation for learning. This includes literacy; communication and vocabulary skills to help your infant better express their needs; gross motor skills and sensory development; and emotional well-being.
Nurturing Active Minds, Healthy Bodies, and Happy Hearts®

Our Infant Classroom Teachers & Staff
Brenda Tellado
Hi, my name is Brenda Tellado. I’m originally from Honduras and bring over 17 years of experience working with children of all ages. While I’ve loved supporting children through every stage of growth, my true passion lies in caring for infants. I’m a dedicated early childhood educator as well as a certified Nurse Assistant and Medical Technician. On weekends, I continue my commitment to care by working in a role similar to a Nurse Assistant, providing compassionate support to those in need.
I am bilingual in Spanish and English, which allows me to connect deeply with a diverse range of families and communities. I find joy in seeing the world through the eyes of the children I care for—their honesty, curiosity, and wonder inspire me every day. Being part of their early years and witnessing their small milestones is one of the most rewarding parts of my work.
I am CPR and First Aid certified, have completed South Carolina Endeavors training, and am currently engaged in ongoing professional development through the Primrose Schools training program. I’m excited to get to know new faces and to be part of the Primrose family!
