Primrose School would love to meet your family.
Schedule A TourHello, I’m Ms. Carina. I graduated from the University of West Georgia with an Early Childhood Education degree and began teaching Georgia Pre-K in 2016 and in 2022, I was promoted from the Georgia Pre-K program to Executive Director here at the Primrose School of Mansell Road. I live in Alpharetta with my husband, our six-year-old daughter, and our one-year-old son. I have always been interested in childcare and education, and the best feeling is seeing the children grow and learn. Outside of work, I love trying new things, jogging, and dancing. I can’t wait to work with your family!
Hi, my name is Ms. Melissa and I joined the Primrose school of Mansell Road in 2021. I graduated from Georgia State with a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology, and I have my GACE certification. I spent 13 years as a kindergarten teacher, before moving to a Curriculum Specialist & Assistant Director role in 2019. I live in Snellville with my girlfriend, Emily, and our three fur babies, Roxy, Natty, and Buddy. Outside of work, I love music and singing, playing sports, going out to eat, watching movies, playing video games, and spending time with friends. I have always had a passion for working with children and I love being an integral part of their development. I want to help them learn to be themselves without fear of judgement. Children can teach us so much, and know so much more than we give them credit for. I look forward to helping your child learn, and learning something new from them!
Ms. Cassidy joined the Primrose family in 2016. She started her journey with the Primrose School of Roswell and spent seven wonderful years there in the leadership team before joining the team here at Primrose Mansell. She is in school, majoring in psychology and loves being able to apply that knowledge in a childcare setting. She lives in Marietta, with her husband, their eight-year-old son, their two-year-old daughter, and their one-year old daughter, plus a German Shepherd, a chihuahua, and a turtle. In her very limited free time, she enjoys art, mountain biking, playing pool, and beekeeping. Ms. Cassidy is so excited to meet your family and work with your child!

Hi, my name is Ms. Ashlyn. With 5 siblings, I grew up taking care of children and it was such a great experience, that I decided to start nannying in 2018. After nannying for five years, I wanted to further my career in childhood education and joined the team at the Primrose School of Mansell Road. Some of my hobbies outside of work include photography, singing, and vlogging. I also love a good book! I look forward to working with your family to provide the best education and care for your child.
Hello, I’m Ms. Kirsten, but my students know me as Ms. K. I graduated from the University of West Georgia with a Bachelor’s Degree in Early Childhood Education and I have earned my GACE certification. I have been teaching Georgia Pre-K since 2015 and I absolutely love to watch the children grow and blossom into young learners. Outside of work, I enjoy hanging out with family and friends, trying new restaurants, and walking my dog, Stella. I look forward to partnering with your family in your child’s education!
Hi, my name is Ms. Najmeh. I graduated with a Bachelors Degree in Accounting and later received my certification in Early Childhood Education. I have two daughters of my own, and after becoming a mother, I realized how much I love working with children and watching them grow. I believe children are full of pure love and positive energy. One of my favorite things to do is reading to the children, as well as in my free time. I also enjoy cooking and baking. I’m excited to work with your child and see them grow!
We are Clarissa and Jeff Palhegyi, the proud owners of Primrose School of Mansell Road. We are beyond excited to be a part of the Primrose family and to share this amazing school with the Alpharetta community. Our love of family and commitment to our community leads us to excitedly pursue this new venture.
Prior to becoming Primrose franchise owners, we are both graduates from San Diego State University and share collectively 50 years of business ownership experience. Relatively new to Atlanta, Georgia, Clarissa comes from a background in arts education, operating one of the largest and most reputable ballet schools in Southern California. Jeff enjoys a storied career in the motorsports industry, forging a successful prototype design and engineering business.
Our greatest enjoyment outside of Primrose is the time we spend with our family. We are proud parents of two lovely young adult men, both who share our love of artistry and design and work in those fields respectively. We are also the parents to two fur babies who provide us immense fun and joy. On any given day, you can find us on our boat at the lake or at the ballfield. (We certainly love our baseball!)
Soon after relocating to Atlanta, we found ourselves looking for a career where we could work together as a team, and make a lasting difference in children’s lives. When an opportunity arose to become owners of a Primrose school, we jumped at the chance. We are so familiar with the “family business” model and we could not be prouder of the decision we made to become part of the Primrose family of schools.
We continue to be impressed and amazed by Primrose’s outstanding approach to education, the accredited curriculum, enrichment, and character development programs. We believe in importance of early literacy and are proud of our Primrose Schools partnerships with many local and national non-profit organizations.
We welcome you and look forward to a long and continued relationship, bound in the collective desire to educate our children in a welcoming, nurturing community.
