Primrose School at Cahoon Commons

My name is Megan Buitrago and I am excited to join Primrose school. I have been in the child care field for over twenty-five years, working with children of all ages. I have worked as a teacher all the way up to being the director of child care programs. I am currently in school to finish my Master’s degree in special education and currently hold a Bachelor’s degree in Child Development. When I am not working I love spending time with my husband and our thirteen year old son who keeps me busy.I am looking forward to getting to know all of the families of our school and look forward to my future here at Primrose Schools.

My name is Hallee Jones and I’m originally from Fairfax, VA , but I have been living in Norfolk since 2019. I absolutely love all DC sports teams! Football has been my favorite sport all my life, I love watching college and professional. I have two younger brothers who mean everything to me and a 4 year old Goldendoodle named Cupcake Doodle. I attended Northern Virginia Community College for early childhood education and development. I transferred to Regent University for the Early Childhood Education program and that’s what brought me down to the Hampton Roads area! I have been working in a preschool setting since 2017. I am so excited for this opportunity to become the Education Coach with Primrose!

I attended colleges in Maryland and Missouri to earn an Associates of Arts in Education, Bachelor of Arts in Early Childhood Education, and Master's of Arts in Education.
