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.

Our Infant Classroom Teachers & Staff
Ms. Divya
Hello! I’m Divya, and I joined the Primrose School of South Lebanon in 2025. As a caring and nurturing infant teacher, I believe every child deserves to be treated with the same love, patience, and respect I give my own. I’m a proud mom of two, and being a parent has deepened my understanding of how important it is to create a safe, loving, and supportive environment where little ones can grow, thrive, and feel truly cared for.
In the classroom, I focus on building strong, trusting relationships with both children and families. I love watching infants reach new milestones—whether it’s a first smile, a new sound, or taking their first steps—and celebrating each accomplishment together.
Ms. Teresa Heinlein
With over 35 years of experience in early childhood education, Teresa brings a wealth of knowledge and passion to the Primrose team. Since joining in 2018, she has drawn on her experience in every classroom to support children’s growth and learning across all age groups. A high school graduate and lifelong educator, she is especially proud of the strong, lasting relationships she has built with families over the years.
Outside of the classroom, Teresa enjoys fishing, camping, and cheering on the Cincinnati Bengals. She is a proud mother and grandmother, and her three grandchildren keep her active and smiling. Her favorite Primrose puppet is Mia the Mouse—quiet and small, just like her.
What she values most about Primrose is the supportive team she works with each day. The friendships she’s formed with coworkers and families alike are what make her role so meaningful and rewarding.
