Hello, I am Mrs. Megan Stauffer, and I am the Vice President of Operations for N&E Learning. I graduated from The Ohio State University with a Bachelor of Science degree in Human Development and Family Studies. I have been in a leadership position with Primrose for the last fourteen years. I was previously an Education Coach, Assistant Director, School Director, Regional Director, and most recently, Executive Director for our schools. Before that, I was a Pre-Kindergarten Teacher and loved the Primrose philosophy. I now have my own little one who attends our schools.

My role supports the schools to ensure school excellence, compliance, training, and policy. I am so happy to begin a new Primrose journey as the Vice President of Operations.

Hello, my name is Mrs. Plummer, and I have been working in childcare since 2015, where I’ve developed a deep passion for supporting young children and their families.

I earned my Bachelor of Science in Early and Middle Childhood Education from The Ohio State University and later completed my Master’s degree in International Education and Globalization at the University of Bath in England. These experiences have shaped my approach to education and strengthened my belief in the importance of inclusive learning environments. Outside of work, I love spending time with my husband, Alex, and our children, Aliza and Alden. Reading is one of my favorite classroom activities and ways to unwind! Stories, learning, and family are at the heart of my personal and professional life.

I can’t wait to share my knowledge and experiences with the Primrose team and families.
