Born and raised in Germany and having lived in California and Florida, I relocated to Mount Pleasant in 2008 alongside my husband and four children. Most of my childcare experience, needless to say, stems from raising my own four children but I have also been blessed to have been given the opportunity to work in the children’s ministry of the churches we’ve been attending over the past years with children’s ages ranging from infants to preschoolers. In addition, I was also able to gain in- school experience working as an assistant as well as a lead teacher at a preschool. I love to spend time with my family and enjoy cooking/ baking, tennis, the outdoors and traveling.

Growing up in a different country and then moving and having to embrace the newly found culture, I feel that giving children the opportunity to broaden their horizons any given moment of the day through positive play, learning, sharing and sparking their curiosity to explore all the wonders of the world is essential. Joining Primrose as a school support teacher, I’m excited to meet all the Primrose families and their precious children!

Hi, I’m Taniah Young! I was born and raised in Awendaw, SC, just outside of Charleston, and grew up surrounded by family members who worked in childcare. Caring for children has always felt natural to me, and I’ve spent years helping with my younger cousins. For the past two years, I’ve worked professionally with children, which has only deepened my love for guiding and supporting their growth.

I’m also a certified Dental Assistant, with a dream of becoming a registered Pediatric Dental Hygienist. While I’m not studying to be a teacher, working with children will always be close to my heart. When I’m not teaching children, I love trying new recipes, playing with my dog Hendrix, and making memories with friends. I’m thrilled to be part of the Primrose family, where I can help create a loving and safe space for children to learn, build confidence, and form lifelong connections.

Hello Families! I grew up in Fort Myers, Florida (the city of palms) and relocated to Augusta, Georgia (home to the Godfather of soul James Brown) to complete my education. After graduating from high school, I attended Tuskegee University. I am the proud mother of Master Eden Tyrell Palmer, who will also be attending Primrose. Together we recently relocated to North Charleston from Augusta to join our family together.

I was welcomed onto the Primrose Team as a teacher in the Older Infant room. I come with years of experience from a licensed childcare facility. I enjoy spending quality time with my family, especially my little Emery and Eden. I look forward to meeting each student and his/her family and to assist him/her in their developmental stages. They learn so rapidly and we must get started early in infancy to help them to make the best choices in life as they mature throughout their childhood stages.

Hello, my name is Ava Sawyer, and I relocated to Charleston from Arkansas in 2022. I previously worked as a Patient Care Technician, where I developed valuable skills such as patience, communication, organization, and the ability to stay calm and compassionate in fast-paced environments.

In my free time I love to do puzzles and bake something sweet! I truly enjoy helping young minds grow and feel supported. I look forward to making each day a great day at Primrose and being a positive influence in the lives of the children and families I serve.
