Mrs. Bareja
I hold a master’s degree in English Literature and a bachelor’s degree in Education. I strongly believe that teaching children the values of patience, kindness, respect, and trust from an early age lays the foundation for becoming responsible, compassionate citizens. Early childhood educators play a key role in shaping these qualities, and I am thrilled to do this at Primrose Schools. My goal is to touch the hearts of many little ones and inspire them to grow with confidence and kindness.
As Barack Obama once said: “If you were successful, somebody along the line gave you some help. There was a great teacher somewhere in your life.” I hope to be that guiding teacher for the children I serve!
Mr. Brown
Hello! I’m from Hilliard, OH and I’m going to start my classes this fall to become a teacher. My passion for helping and teaching students started when I took a job as a teachers aid. Watching children grow and learn is such a good feeling.
I graduated from Hilliard Bradley in 2024. I’m so excited to be a part of Primrose and continue to help and learn for all the children.
Mrs. Bengochea Rivera
I was born in Puerto Rico and attended Ernesto Ramos Antonini Fine Arts School, where I discovered my love for art and my passion for sharing knowledge with others. I moved to Pennsylvania in 2017 and have been living in Ohio since 2021.
I enjoy baking and creating, and in my free time, I love spending time with my family and going to church. I am very excited to get to know all my students, learn about their interests, and start making meaningful memories together. It brings me joy to be part of the foundation and growth of our future adults, and I am equally excited to learn from them along the way!
