    Assistant Director

    Hi, my name is Ms. Christine and I joined the Primrose family in 2013. I started as an Assistant Teacher in the Preschool Classroom and then moved to be the Lead Teacher in the Early Preschool Classrooms. I was promoted to be a part of the management team to help our teachers implement the Primrose Curriculum and became a Primrose mom in 2019. It has been such a pleasure getting to know all our Primrose families and building relationships with our Primrose students.

    My favorite part of each day is greeting our students in the mornings and seeing their big smiles and excitement as they start their day. I am so grateful to have the opportunity to watch our students grow from their very first steps to their very last steps here at Primrose.

    When not at Primrose I enjoy spending time with my family, playing tennis, and traveling. My family and I have a long-term goal to travel to every state in our country!
