Our Preschool Pathways Classroom
Our Preschool Pathways program provides a “bridge” between our Early Preschool and Preschool classrooms for children whose birthdays will ultimately miss the cutoff date for kindergarten entrance. By identifying those children early, we can help them stay with a consistent group of peers through preschool, pre-K and kindergarten.

Ms. Carrillo
Ms. Carrillo and her family are originally from Mexico. She was born in Allen, Texas, and raised in McKinney, Texas. A graduate of McKinney Boyd High School, Ms. Carrillo took several years of child development classes and has spent much of her life babysitting and helping care for children of all ages from many families and friends.
She began working at Primrose School of Stone Brooke in August 2022, where she quickly became a valued team member. Ms. Carrillo is currently single and lives with her beloved chihuahua, Amy. In her free time, she enjoys dancing, spending time with family, walking and appreciating nature, and cherishing moments with her dog.
Ms. Carrillo shares, “I love working with kids because there’s no limit to their imagination and creativity, which we can all learn from. I hope to be the best role model for my students, teaching them right from wrong, and showing them that it’s okay to make mistakes. My philosophy is: Learning happens both inside and outside the classroom, through exploration.”
