Meg Biddle
Director

Hi, families! My name is Meg Biddle, and I am proud to be the Director of the Primrose School of North Wilmington. I served as the director of the Primrose School of Wilmington at Medical Center from the time we opened in 2020 until the opening of North Wilmington. I spent the first year of North Wilmington as a Regional Director, helping our schools make the transition to a two school system, and now I am excited to be here full time.

My specialty is communication, and I look forward to getting to know you as well as your children. I want every family to have someone they know and feel comfortable with to partner with them on their child’s journey through Primrose. I will always make time to sit down and talk with you. My door, and our door, is open. Welcome!

I was drawn to Primrose by the Balanced Learning Curriculum, which is taught in every classroom from infants to Pre-K. As someone who has worked in the field of early education for over 20 years and raised children of her own, I know first hand how fundamental early education is to development. Balanced Learning teaches the whole child–valuing emotional and physical development equally with academic development. It gives space for exploration and excitement, as well as teacher support and scaffolding. In the classroom, our students are scientists and explorers, artists and dancers; athletes and architects. I am always thrilled to see engaged faces as I move through the building.

I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in English, a Master’s Degree in Writing, and Director’s and Early Educator’s Credentials. I was a toddler teacher for 11 years, and that age group will always hold a big piece of my heart. I am passionate about the first 2000 days of development, and especially value the learning and attachment of our youngest children. I am proud to be a part of the story of the Wilmington Primrose Schools, and look forward to continuing that journey at the Primrose School of North Wilmington.

Assistant Director

Hello, my name is Keva Bradley. I was born here in Wilmington and I have lived here all my life. I have three beautiful girls that I love dearly. I have been in the childcare field for 22 years. I love working with children because it gives me a chance to see them develop first hand, as they grow and flourish under our care. Many families rely on childcare so that they can work; they entrust us with their children to love and nurture, and I consider it a privilege to do so. I am so glad to be a part of the Primrose Team and can’t wait to see how many children’s lives we touch.

Hi, Primrose families!

My name is Savannah, and my passion for teaching began 10 years ago when I became a Teacher’s Assistant at my dance studio. After my very first class, I was hooked and haven’t stopped teaching since! Over the years, I’ve taught students ranging from age 2 to adults in a variety of dance genres.

I’m thrilled to step into the classroom in a whole new way here at Primrose! When I’m not in the school or studio, you’ll likely find me with my nose in a book, spending time with my family, or hunting for treasure with my metal detector.

Thank you for welcoming me into the Primrose family. I’m so happy to be here!

Hi, I’m Lauren Delavigne. I moved to Wilmington for college and quickly fell in love with the community, so after graduating, I decided to make it my home. After spending four years in tech sales, I realized my true passion lies in combining my creativity with my love for working with children, which led me to transition into graphic design and nannying. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working with kids in a variety of settings, and now, I’m thrilled to be making a more meaningful impact at Primrose North Wilmington. In addition to my role at Primrose, I also freelance as a graphic designer, which allows me to continue pursuing my creative passions while contributing positively to the lives of children and families in my community. I’m truly excited to be part of an environment where I can help shape the next generation in both creative and impactful ways.
