Our Kindergarten Classroom Teachers & Staff
Jenny Page
Mrs. Page has been working in early childhood education since 2009 and has been a valued member of the Primrose School of Hendersonville team since February 2016. A recipient of the 2026 Primrose Educator of the Year Award, she is recognized for her dedication, creativity, and passion for providing exceptional learning experiences for young children. Her imaginative approach to teaching inspires curiosity, encourages exploration, and helps every child feel excited to learn and grow in a nurturing environment.
Originally from Boulder County, Colorado, Mrs. Page completed four years of college and brings both experience and heart to her classroom each day. Her favorite children’s book is Goodnight Moon by Margaret Wise Brown, and she most relates to Benjamin the Bear because she believes generosity and kindness are essential in helping children build meaningful relationships. In her free time, she enjoys crafting, spending time with her husband and their daughter, Ava, and never says no to pasta with a side of plenty of ranch. What makes her smile most is witnessing acts of kindness and seeing people care for one another.
