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.

Ms. Viritha
Hello everyone..!!! My name is Mrs. Viritha.
I was born and raised in India and after marriage I moved to Chicago,US in 2010 and now to Knoxville @ 2022. We have a 4 year old son who also attends Primrose. Since I moved here, I worked in early childhood education with children. I LOVE children and watching them grow, they truly are the light of my day to day life. I always feel connected to children. My goal as your child’s teacher is to help them reach their individual potential.
I’m so excited to be part at Primrose School of West Knoxville and I can’t wait to meet all the kids and families.
