Our Toddler Classroom
An action-packed day full of fun and purposeful play helps toddlers develop Active Minds, Healthy Bodies, and Happy Hearts®. We know 1-year-olds are constantly on the move, exploring and learning through play at every turn. Primrose teachers use that energy and enthusiasm to foster cognitive, social, emotional and physical skills through engaging games and activities.
Nurturing Active Minds, Healthy Bodies, and Happy Hearts

Our Toddler Classroom Teachers & Staff
Ms. Nickel
My name is Ms. Nickel, and I love working with children and creating a nurturing space where they can learn and grow. My goal is to support each child’s development through hands-on learning, creativity, and positive encouragement.
I bring several years of experience in childcare, including babysitting, working in an in-home childcare setting, and completing an Early Childhood course in high school. I am currently pursuing my Child Development Associate (CDA) credential in Infants and Toddlers, as I continue to grow professionally and deepen my understanding of early childhood development.
My favorite Primrose character is OG the Bookworm because he encourages storytelling, imagination, and a love for books—values I enjoy sharing with children every day.

I bring 20 years of experience as an infant and toddler teacher, and throughout my career I have dedicated myself to nurturing young children, supporting their development, and creating loving, engaging learning environments where they can truly thrive.
