Our Kindergarten Classroom Teachers & Staff
Ariana Milanese
Hello! My name is Ariana. My teaching journey has included a variety of wonderful experiences — I student-taught Kindergarten, 1st, and 3rd grades before becoming a Pre-K, Kindergarten, and School-Age teacher for KinderCare. I’ve been at Primrose School of Beavercreek since we opened and have had the joy of working with the Pre-K students for six years and the Kindergarteners since.
I hold a Bachelor of Science in Early Childhood Education, followed by a Master’s in Education and Literacy. I’m also licensed P–3 with a Reading Endorsement for K–12. I love getting to know, teach, and care for each child and watching them grow and learn each day. Their curiosity and joy for discovery make every moment so rewarding!
My favorite children’s book is Corduroy, and my favorite holidays are Christmas and Easter. My family and I also celebrate Greek Orthodox Christian traditions such as Holy Week and Greek Easter. One of my favorite family traditions is watching the fireworks on the 4th of July, decorating our home for Christmas — including placing the angel on top of the tree — and collecting snow globes and ornaments together.
At home, we speak English, a little Greek, and Spanish. In my free time, I enjoy reading, doing puzzles, and spending time with my husband, daughter, family, and friends. I also love to travel, volunteer in Sunday School for Pre-K and Kindergarten, and cherish being both an aunt and godmother.
