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

Ms. Katherine Moreno
My name is Katherine Moreno. When I was a little girl, I would pretend to be a teacher to my stuffed animals. It is obvious that my dream since that time has been to become a teacher. I have been teaching for 29 years. I attained my Child Development Associate certification from San Antonio College in 2018. My favorite children’s book is “The Very Hungry Caterpillar”. I have loved this book since I was very young. Our Toddlers love to sit and hear about everything the caterpillar ate and how it turns into a beautiful butterfly. In my free time I love being with my family. I have two sons, which are 30 and 23, a three 3 year -old grandson.

I have 19 years of teaching experience in the Upper levels and 3 years in Early Childhood Education. While in Venezuela, I taught Biology. I enjoy caring for children with respect and affection. I also take account for their individual needs and encourage them to join in our classroom activities. My favorite part of teaching children is seeing how they enjoy learning new things, celebrating their achievements and seeing them shape their unique personalities. My favorite children’s book is “Charlotte’s Web”. My favorite holidays are Christmas and New Year’s. I especially enjoy celebrating Three King’s Day. When I am not at school, I enjoy spending time with my family, cooking, reading and traveling. God is a very important part of my life. I also enjoy spending time with our little pet monkey named Pepita.
