Schedule A TourHello! My name is Olga Ramírez. I was born in San Luis Potosí Mexico but was raised here in Texas. I am the oldest of three children.
I hold an Associates in Science and I'm currently attending Texas Woman's University. I am in the process of completing my B.S in Biology Education. I have over 4 years of early childhood education and it all began here at Primrose School of Firewheel! I was the Infant teacher and was then promoted to office staff. I then had to move to Denton, TX for school where I worked at another Primrose location as the Explorers teacher. I am now back and I am so excited to pick up where I left off! I love everything about the Primrose curriculum and environment. I love watching the children reach new milestones and celebrating them every chance we get.
I am excited to be part of the Primrose School of Firewheel family as it gives me the opportunity to do what I love: teach young minds.
I cannot wait to build positive relationships with all the staff and families here! I look forward to getting to know every family and being part of this amazing school.
