Hi, I’m Ms. Kelly and I joined the Primrose School of Mansell in 2021. I started with approximately 14 years of childcare experience in various roles. I’ve spent time as a nanny, camp counselor, a teacher, and now as an Education Coach and loved each position in different ways. I chose to work in childcare and a preschool because taking care of others has always come naturally to me, and children are always fun to be around. As adults, we can learn so much from a child. I am originally from Bridgeport, Connecticut and graduated with my Bachelors in English from Southern Connecticut State University. I currently live in Alpharetta with my husband and our two children. Our son attends the Private Pre-K program here at Primrose, and our daughter attends the Toddler program. I enjoy spending time going on nature walks, trying new foods and restaurants, traveling, making art, and vlogging. I’m excited to meet your child!
