Teachers & Staff

Ms. Sharonna
Hi, I’m Ms.Sharonna!
I’m originally from Dallas and have been with Primrose for five years. I started my journey as a teacher at our West Lake Hills location before moving into a curriculum role at Primrose Bee Cave. I truly love the Primrose curriculum and the way it supports children’s growth and development.
I’m so excited to now be a Director at such a wonderful school with amazing families and teachers! When I’m not at work, I enjoy traveling, going for runs, and spending time with my puppy. I can’t wait to continue building relationships with our families and supporting our students!

Ms. Celeste
Hi, I’m Ms. Celeste!
I joined the Primrose family at our Lakeway location, where I grew from a Pathways teacher to a Preschool teacher. I’ve been part of this wonderful organization for over two and a half years. I’m originally from San Antonio and even worked at a Primrose before moving to Austin. I have a true passion for early childhood education and love helping children grow and thrive.
Outside of school, I enjoy traveling, dancing, and spending time with my puppy. I can’t wait to get to know you and your family!

Ms. Aja
Hi, my name is Aja! I am originally from Kansas and recently moved to Austin with my family. I have six years of childcare experience and truly enjoy helping children learn, grow, and reach new milestones. I am passionate about creating a caring and positive environment where every child feels safe, supported, and valued. I enjoy spending time outdoors with my daughter, watching movies, and making memories with my family.
I look forward to getting to know you and your child and being a part of their learning journey!

Ms.Breona
Hi, I’m Ms. Breona!
I grew up in Austin, Texas. I come from a big family. I have one older brother and five younger sisters. I’ve watched my sisters grow, and being able to experience their growth has inspired me to want to work with kids. I’ve been a toddler teacher at our sister location, Primrose School of Westlake Hills, since 2022 and have loved every bit of it! Now that I am the Office Manager for Primrose School of Austin at Mueller, I am so fortunate to meet a whole new set of kids and families!
I look forward to learning more about you!

Ms. Celeste P.
Hi, I’m Ms. Celeste P.!
I was born and raised in Houston and have over five years of experience working with children, including time as a teacher and gym director. My favorite part about working with children is watching them grow, learn, and reach new milestones. I enjoy creating a warm and encouraging environment where children feel supported and excited to learn. In my personal time, I love kayaking with my dog, taking my cat on walks around state parks, shopping, painting pottery, and going camping with my family.
I look forward to getting to know you and your child!

Mr.Chris
Hi, I’m Mr. Chris!
I started my journey with Primrose back in 2014 as an Explorers teacher, and since then, I’ve pretty much had every job in the company! Before stepping into my current role as Area Director of Enrollment and Community, I served as the Director at our Mueller location and, prior to that, as an Enrollment Coordinator.
I love football (go Birds!), floating the river, listening to music, and really any kind of adventure. Most of all, I enjoy spending time with my son and making memories together. I’m excited to support our schools and families while helping our community grow!

Ms. Aja
Hi, I’m Ms. Aja!
I’ve been with Primrose for almost two years. I started my journey in the Pathways classroom at our Lakeway location before moving to the West Lake Hills campus last summer, where I’ve loved continuing to teach in the Pathways Program.
I’m originally from Kansas and, most importantly, I’m a proud mom to an amazing 6-year-old daughter. I’m also excited to step into the Trainer role and get to know the children and families across all four of our campuses!
