Hello! I am a Georgia native and the proud mom of three wonderful boys and a playful puppy named Shakira. In my free time, I enjoy reading, cooking, teaching my children how to paint, and spending time outdoors hiking with family and friends.
I have more than 15 years of experience working with children, and my greatest joy is watching them learn, grow, and reach new milestones. I am passionate about creating a nurturing, engaging environment where every child feels valued, supported, and encouraged to succeed. I look forward to partnering with families to make this a fun and memorable year of learning!

I was born in the Philippines and moved to the United States in 2013. My husband, Michael, and I have a beautiful daughter, Isabella. I earned a two-year technical degree in the Philippines and am fluent in both Tagalog and English. I truly enjoy working with children, as their energy and joy make each day meaningful and rewarding.
I am excited to be part of the Primrose School at Brookstone team and to contribute to a positive and nurturing learning environment.

Hi! My name is Candi, short for Candara. I live in the small town of Rome with my mom, sister, brother, and our five dogs. I have always loved animals—especially dogs—and I have just as much love for working with children.
Music has always been a big part of my life. I enjoy singing and playing both the saxophone and violin. I chose to join the Primrose School at Brookstone because I felt called to be part of this wonderful community. From the moment children walk through our doors, their excitement and joy are contagious, and I wanted to be part of creating that welcoming environment.
My favorite part of my job is seeing the smiles on the children’s faces each day. Knowing I can play a small role in making their day brighter is incredibly rewarding.

I am a high school graduate currently pursuing a bachelor’s degree in Education. My passion for working with children inspired me to pursue a career in teaching, and I have found this role to be an invaluable opportunity to gain meaningful, hands-on experience while continuing my education.
Outside of work, I enjoy thrift shopping, attending concerts, and spending time with friends over a good meal. I consider it a privilege to work with your children and to be part of such a wonderful school community. I look forward to supporting their learning and growth each day.

I was born in El Salvador and moved to Canada in my late teens with my mother and siblings. I earned an associate degree in Early Childhood Education from George Brown College. Working with young children has always been a source of inspiration for me.
For the past 25 years, I have lived in Georgia with my husband and our three wonderful children, Emily, Dylan, and Daniel. I am excited to be part of the Primrose School at Brookstone team and to support children as they learn, grow, and thrive each day.

Hi! My name is Isabela, but you can call me “Bella”. I am so excited to be starting my first year as a teacher! I am currently a senior at the University of New Hampshire, where I am studying Emergency Management and GIS. I have worked with children for over 5 years. In my free time I love reading, doing pottery, playing with my brothers, and hanging out with my friends. I speak both Portuguese and English. I am very excited to become a part of this Primrose family.

I am a dependable, organized, and motivated professional who enjoys learning new skills and embracing new challenges. I take pride in maintaining a positive attitude and building strong relationships with those around me. My experience working with children has strengthened my patience, communication, and problem-solving skills while reinforcing the importance of creating a supportive, safe, and engaging environment. Outside of work, I enjoy staying active by going to the gym, spending quality time with family and friends, and listening to music. I am committed to continuous personal and professional growth and strive to make a positive impact in every role I take on.

Hi! My name is Lindsay Petraglia, and I have lived in Kennesaw for most of my life. Teaching has always been my dream, and I am grateful to be able to pursue a career doing what I love. I have been attending Kennesaw State University for the past three years, where I am working toward my degree in Elementary Education.
My favorite part of teaching is making learning fun, engaging, and meaningful for every child. I love being part of the Primrose School at Brookstone family because of the genuine care and support shown to everyone in our community.
Outside of the classroom, I enjoy exploring arts and crafts, as well as spending time outdoors with my husband. We also love painting, cooking, and trying new restaurants together.
