Hello, I am Mrs. Megan Stauffer, and I am the Vice President of Operations for N&E Learning. I graduated from The Ohio State University with a Bachelor of Science degree in Human Development and Family Studies. I have been in a leadership position with Primrose for the last fourteen years. I was previously an Education Coach, Assistant Director, School Director, Regional Director, and most recently, Executive Director for our schools. Before that, I was a Pre-Kindergarten Teacher and loved the Primrose philosophy. I now have my own little one who attends our schools.

My role supports the schools to ensure school excellence, compliance, training, and policy. I am so happy to begin a new Primrose journey as the Vice President of Operations.

Hello, my name is Allie Plummer, and I have been working in childcare since 2015, where I’ve developed a deep passion for supporting young children and their families.

I earned my Bachelor of Science in Early and Middle Childhood Education from The Ohio State University and later completed my Master’s degree in International Education and Globalization at the University of Bath in England. These experiences have shaped my approach to education and strengthened my belief in the importance of inclusive learning environments. Outside of work, I love spending time with my husband, Alex, and our children, Aliza and Alden. Reading is one of my favorite classroom activities and ways to unwind! I enjoy everything from non-fiction to sci-fi and my favorite children’s book is If You Give A Mouse A Cookie by Laura Numeroff. Stories, learning, and family are at the heart of my personal and professional life.

I can’t wait to share my knowledge and experiences with the Primrose team and families.

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.

I’m Ms. Veppert and I was a Pre-Kindergarten teacher here at Primrose for over ten years before becoming the Assistant Director.  I’m originally from Rootstown, Ohio where I lived until moving to Columbus to attend The Ohio State University.  After graduating in 2012 with my Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology, I began working at the Primrose School of Johnstown Road and have been here ever since!  I love teaching and it’s really become my passion.  My favorite part is getting to know the families-even teaching multiple kids from each family!  I know that going to work each day, I’ll never have a dull moment! In my spare time, I love reading, crafting, and spending time with friends and family.

I moved from Arizona to Ohio after I got married in September 2019. I was an elementary teacher in Arizona and really missing being in a classroom, so when I heard about Primrose, I jumped at the chance! It was a big leap from 5th grade to Pre-K, but I have loved every minute of it. These kids show so much love, it brings me back every year. When I’m not hanging out with my Pre-K kids, I enjoy playing with my 2 dogs, Flash and Walle. I also enjoy photography, cooking, and traveling back to Arizona to visit family!

I’m Mr. Findley and I’m a support teacher here at Primrose but spend most of my time in Explorers.  I have worked in childcare for over 5 years now.  I attended Sinclair Community College before transferring to the University of Dayton.  In my free time, I enjoy being outdoors and watching F1 racing.  I also like to go hiking and explore various state parks.  I love what I do and where I work and love getting to meet different families and children

I’m Mr. Lape and I am a Pre-Kindergarten teacher here at Primrose.  I have been working with children for 37 years as an educator and a gymnastics coach.  I was a member of the Ohio State men’s gymnastics team from 1983-87 and part of the ‘85 NCAA Championship Team.  I spent nine months living in England and I have also lived in Oregon and Washington where I enjoyed sailboarding and some mountain climbing.   I have three grown children, a daughter and twin boys.  My wife, Jenn, and I live in the woods in Johnstown with our fluffy dog, Daisy, and our loud cat, Echo.

I graduated from Otterbein University with a Bachelor of Science in Education. I have been working with children for four years. I enjoy spending time with my wife and my pet cat. I also enjoy going for walks on nature trails, playing video games, reading manga, and building model kits. This year, at Primrose, I am looking forward to working with the children and staff to help the children develop a strong foundation for life-long learning.

I can’t wait to learn more about you and your family.

I am a Gahanna Lincoln graduate and attended Ohio State School of Cosmetology.  I have worked with children for the last 10 years and have found it to be the most rewarding career experience.  In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my daughter and family.  A few hobbies of mine are visiting record/book stores, watching documentaries, and going on small outdoor adventures.  This  year at Primrose, I look forward to watching our center grow and meeting all the new children and families!

I have worked with children for 7 years and have loved teaching and being able to see them grow! I am super excited to get to know you and your children. In my free time, I love to paint and hang out with my family and cats.

I am a recent graduate from The Ohio State University with a degree in Social Work, and previously I worked as a school social worker intern with grades K-8. I love working with children of all ages and watching them learn about themselves and the world they live in! In my free time, I like to bounce between hobbies such as drawing, baking, and origami as well as explore downtown with my friends.

I’m Ms. Nyamungusha. I wanted to tell you a little about myself.

I am excited to be part of the team here at the Primrose School of Johnstown Road. I have three years of experience working with children and truly enjoy being part of their early learning journey. I love teaching because I get to witness their growth, build meaningful bonds, and create a safe, nurturing space. Outside of the classroom, I enjoy going to the gym, playing volleyball, watching movies, and spending time with my friends. I’m also currently learning to play the piano! This year, I’m looking forward to building new bonds, growing both individually and together as a classroom!

I graduated from Westerville Central High School. I’m new to the classroom setting but I am very excited to get to know your children and help them learn and grow! I love creating a safe and fun environment where the children learn to feel comfortable and confident! In my free time, I enjoy exploring around Columbus with my two dogs, Moose and Luna. I also enjoy relaxing at home, cuddling up on the couch, and watching Netflix. One of my biggest dreams is to travel and explore the world! I am so excited to meet you and your children!

I graduated from The Ohio State University with a Bachelor of Science in Child and Youth Studies. I have about 8 months of experience working with children through internships, and I’m excited to have this opportunity through Primrose to teach children and help them grow! I enjoy spending time with friends and family, especially for board games or movie marathons. I love spending time with my cat Tyson (he’s six years old!). Some of my other hobbies include reading fantasy novels, making crafts, and eating food! I’m excited to meet all the children and their families here at Primrose!

I am so excited to be a teacher in the Early Preschool 2 classroom at Primrose. I love working with young children and helping them learn, explore, and grow each day. Creating a warm and welcoming environment where children feel safe and excited to learn is very important to me. In my free time, I enjoy reading, painting, and making music. I love bringing creativity and fun into the classroom whenever I can. Halloween is my favorite holiday because I enjoy the costumes, decorations, and all the excitement that comes with it. I am so happy to be part of the Primrose family and look forward to getting to know all of you!

I previously worked as a nanny for 4 years. I really enjoyed playing with  the kids. For fun, I love to hang out with friends and I also do nails on the side. I’m looking forward to learning from Primrose and gaining experience. I love trying new things and can’t wait to not only teach the kids, but to learn from them as well!

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.

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!

I graduated high school from Amanda Clear Creek and Eastland Career Center. I would love to continue my education at Columbus State as an Early Childhood Education major with a focus in Special Education. In my free time, I enjoy attending conventions, playing video games, hiking and taking photographs. I am looking forward to getting to know all of the families and students here at Primrose. I can’t wait to learn more about you and your family.

I’m Mrs. Reno and I am an infant teacher here at Primrose.  I have worked in childcare for over 28 years now with children of all ages.  My passion outside of work is music and singing.  I am a member of my church choir, a female barbershop chorus, and a barbershop quartet.  I also love to hang out with my group of friends.  I enjoy reading, kayaking, and hiking when the weather is nice.

I’m new to teaching in a preschool, but I already love it here. I have four years of babysitting experience, and I’ve discovered that the infant classroom is where I feel most fulfilled. I enjoy working with all age groups, but caring for our tiniest learners brings me so much joy. When I’m not at school, I love spending time with my family and friends.

I completed my Bachelor’s of Science from Pakistan.  We moved to the United States in 2014 and I worked in logistics for four years.  My backgroung is in teaching and I have such a passion for making a difference for young growing minds so in 2018, I started my journey at Primrose.  I love being around children because they keep me motivated and constantly entertained!  They are the purest souls and everything about them is so genuine!

I am a mom of three kids! I love 90’s grunge and country music. I love to read fantasy books and play animal crossing! I love the brutal honesty of kids and their sweet ability to love! I enjoy being outside with my kids swinging in the breeze! My favorite season has to be the summer! I can’t wait to learn more about you and your family!

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.

I love working with children. My favorite part of teaching is watching the children gain confidence and discover new things about themselves each and every day. In my free time, I enjoy staying active, spending time with my family, and being outside. I’m known for being funny, kind, and giving. I’m excited to join the team at Primrose School of Johnstown Road. I look forward to building strong connections with the families and their children.
