Our Toddler Classroom
An action-packed day full of fun and purposeful play helps toddlers develop Active Minds, Healthy Bodies, and Happy Hearts®. We know 1-year-olds are constantly on the move, exploring and learning through play at every turn. Primrose teachers use that energy and enthusiasm to foster cognitive, social, emotional and physical skills through engaging games and activities.
Nurturing Active Minds, Healthy Bodies, and Happy Hearts

Our Toddler Classroom Teachers & Staff
Mrs. Eggleston
I was born in Queens, NY, and was raised in Richmond, VA. I now live in Columbus, Ohio with my husband and our two daughters. I’ve been working in the child care field since 2008, working mainly with infants. I received my Associate of Arts Degree in IT in 2014, and my Bachelor’s Degree in Software Engineering. The Primrose character I most relate to is Benjamin. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, doing crafts and spending time with my family. I also love traveling to visit our families in Michigan and Virginia.
Teacher Andi
My history in childcare is extensive. I began babysitting at 13, worked for many years in the NICU at Children’s, and I’m raising two kids of my own. I graduated from Pickerington North in 2007. I like working with kids because I get to see them grow and learn as individuals at their own pace. At home, I love spending time with my family, cooking, making music, and cuddling with my kitties. Over the next year, I look forward to providing a safe, positive, and nurturing environment for all of your little ones.
Ms. Baldwin
I have two siblings, ages 12 and 6, and I have been babysitting off and on since I was 12. I enjoy taking my younger brother outside a lot, and we both enjoy the outdoors. It doesn’t matter how much sleep I’ve gotten the night before — I run on caffeine! I go hiking every other weekend with my best friend or boyfriend. I love to travel and have been to eight different states. My favorite thing about being around children is seeing them smile and hearing them laugh!
Ms. Saylor
I moved to Columbus in 2015 from Bowling Green. I have a dog named Aspen. I love what I do, and I am so excited to be working at Primrose! I come from a large family so working with children is basically in my blood! I am so excited to learn and grow with Primrose and your children!
I can’t wait to learn more about you and your family.
