My name is Paige, and I am the Administrative Assistant here at Primrose. With several years of experience in early childhood education, including approximately three years working directly in childcare before staying home with my two boys, I bring both professional experience and a parent’s perspective to my role. My passion for supporting children and families began through babysitting, nannying, and working as a mother’s helper.

In my position, I enjoy welcoming families, supporting our teachers, and helping ensure that each day runs smoothly. Whether I’m assisting with answering questions, and greeting families at the front desk, my goal is to create a warm, organized, and positive experience for everyone who walks through our doors.

One of the things I value most about Primrose is the strong sense of community. Our dedicated teachers and caring families make this an incredible place to be, and it’s evident that our staff is committed to helping every child feel safe, supported, and encouraged to grow. As both a parent and a member of the leadership team, I truly appreciate being part of an environment where children and families come first.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending quality time with my family, whether we’re playing outdoors or enjoying a cozy movie night together. I am grateful to be part of the Primrose community and look forward to supporting our families and staff each day.

My name is Ana! I am married to André and the proud mother of Anita, Antonella, and my little angel, Daniel. Our family moved from Brazil to Michigan in September 2019.

I hold a Bachelor of International Business Administration from UNIP (Brazil) and am certified as an Environmental Technician through SENAC (Brazil). For the past ten years, I have worked remotely as an Italian Citizenship Consultant, assisting clients with genealogical research and documentation.

I have always loved working with children, inspired by my mother, a teacher and pedagogical coordinator. I volunteered in her school as an assistant teacher, chaperone, and tutor, and professionally, I have been working with children and teens since 2023—first with Northville Public Schools and now as an Assistant Teacher in childcare.

Outside of work, I enjoy cooking, gardening, photography, attending concerts, spending time in nature, and, most importantly, being with my family and friends. I am thrilled to be part of the Primrose School of Novi community!

I began my journey in Early Childhood Education in 2006, and over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to grow through various roles while working with children of all ages, from infants to school-aged. Each experience has deepened my passion for nurturing a love of learning during the early years.

With a background in Child Development and Early Education, I’m dedicated to guiding and inspiring both teachers and children to become confident, curious, and critical thinkers. Education is truly my calling, and helping young learners grow, academically, socially, and emotionally—means the world to me.

I live in Livonia with my two wonderful children, our sassy cat, and our energetic dog. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with family, traveling, reading, exploring the outdoors, watching Harry Potter, and cheering on Detroit’s major league teams—Go Lions!

I look forward to helping create a warm, safe, and welcoming environment for every child and family at Primrose. Together, we’ll foster a lifelong love of learning!
