Our Pre-Kindergarten Classroom
Primrose® introduces and reinforces new information through playful exploration, teacher-guided inquiry and rich discussion as they help foster Active Minds, Healthy Bodies, and Happy Hearts®. Your child will have fun every day as they play and learn important academic skills, social skills and more, because when they are mentally, physically and emotionally ready to learn a skill, they develop mastery.

Jessica Paolillo
Hello, my name is Ms. Jessica, and I will be teaching Preschool/Pre-K here at Primrose School of Morristown.
I am a fun, outgoing person who absolutely loves working with children because they absorb everything and learn so quickly.
I graduated from Montclair State University in 2022 and have been teaching preschool and pre-k ever since. I am also a dance instructor and teach 4–6-year-olds at my studio.
I am very excited to be here at Primrose and cannot wait to get to know all of the students!
