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.

Nurturing Active Minds, Healthy Bodies, and Happy Hearts®

Hi!

I’m Katie Fercho. I was born and raised in Lenoir City, TN and received my associates degree from Roane state community college. I have been married to my husband for 10 years and we have a 4 year old daughter who also attends Primrose. We are a prior military family and we just recently moved back home after 10 years so that we can begin to place our roots down in beautiful East TN!

I have worked with children since high school and love watching them learn and grow.

I am excited to begin my new journey at Primrose
