Hello, my name is Quayonna Hawkins. I lived in South Carolina during my childhood days before moving to Pennsylvania later in my life. I recently relocated back to South Carolina to get a sense of “home” and I’m so happy to be back in Charleston. I always cared for my niece and nephew since birth and enjoyed every second of it.

While I’m not at Primrose, I enjoy trying new restaurants or activities, decorating my home, and connecting with family. I look forward to being part of the early learning stages for children and watching them grow.

Greetings everyone! My name is Kathey Johnson and love teaching! This fall, I will be attending Trident Tech to obtain an associate degree in Applied Science in Early Care and Education. I will be following the career path of Infant and Toddler Development.

I was born and raised in the Charleston area. I have two beautiful children and two handsome grandsons. In my spare time, I enjoy Zumba, exercising, walking, dancing, reading, cooking and spending time with family and friends! I look forward to getting to know all of my students and families!

Hello! My name is Madison, and I was born and raised on James Island, where I was blessed to grow up and help care for a brother with cognitive disabilities. Being a part of his journey and watching the way his teachers and therapists impacted his life from an early age stirred a deep passion in me for making a difference in the lives of children.

In my free time I enjoy cooking, being outdoors, going on long walks, reading, and spending time with my friends and family. At Primrose, I look forward to continuing my passion by forming strong relationships with the children in my care and their support system. “What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make.” – Jane Goodall

I moved to Charleston from Springfield, Illinois when I was in 2nd grade. I have been working with children since I was 12 years old in a babysitting setting, and I have worked in a professional setting with children for the past 8 years. I have worked with children ages 0-10 years old. I have my Bachelor of Science with a concentration in Human Services from the University of South Carolina – Beaufort. I love to be able to apply my knowledge at Primrose and enrich your child’s experience, by providing a safe environment for your kiddo to grow and explore.

When I am not at Primrose, I enjoy traveling over the weekends to different places and exploring different cultures and cuisines with my spouse. I enjoy being at Primrose, because I love being able to create a positive impact on every family and child. Children are our future and it’s our responsibility as a community to guide them to create a better future!

Hello, my name is Laura Everitt, and I was born and raised right here in Charleston, SC! I have only left my hometown to go to college at Georgia State University to work towards my bachelor’s in psychology. I am known as the “family nanny” and have babysat all the little ones in my family. I have eleven siblings, six older and five younger than I am, so there are plenty of learning opportunities regarding childcare growing up. I am looking forward to expanding my knowledge here at Primrose about teaching, brightening the lives of our youth, and helping them with a head start with early education.

During my down time, I love to crochet blankets and sweaters for my family to enjoy! My cat, Mavis, likes to help out with yarn projects too. A quote that I like to live by is “What is done with love, is done well.” by Vincent Van Gogh.
