Hello, I’m Cindy. Hines. I am the Executive Director at Primrose School of P&G at Winton Hill, P&G at GO, and Primrose School of West Chester. I have Bachelor of Science in Human Ecology from The Ohio State University. I’ve been the Director of this school since 2008 and I am excited to be a part of the Primrose leadership team.
I am a wife and mother of three girls. My family moved to Cincinnati in 2008. We spend a lot of time on the soccer fields on the weekends as all of my girls are active with soccer.
I can’t wait to learn more about you and your family!
Hello, I’m Ashley M. Embers. I’m originally from Louisville, KY and lived in Wisconsin and Fort Mitchell, KY as a child. I’ve lived in Fairfield, Ohio for 5 years and I absolutely love it! I received an Associate Degree, Professional Nanny Diploma and Director’s Credential in Early Childhood Education from Sullivan University in Louisville, KY; and I’m currently working on a B.S. of Early Childhood Education through Aspen University. I’ve worked in the Early Childhood field for over 14 years; much of my experience comes from corporate clients. When I relocated to the Cincinnati area with Bright Horizons Family Solutions, I worked as the Education Coordinator at the P&G GO location downtown. In December 2016, the P&G location was acquired by the franchised Primrose Schools. I became the Assistant Director at the downtown school and a few months later, I was promoted to the Director of Relations for West Chester location. For the past year, I’ve had the opportunity work in higher education as an Admission representative at ATA College. That experience helped me to realize my true passion is working with young children. I am an advocate for learning and believe we should all be like sponges, and soak up as much knowledge as we can.
In my spare time, I have my own art business and I enjoy creating artwork from my heart. I also enjoy spending time with my family and friends, writing music, traveling, the great outdoors, going to football games, and shopping. I am a foodie/self- proclaimed chef, and have been working on perfecting my own barbeque sauces.
I’m excited about being part of the Primrose family again and I look forward to making a great impact for the team!

I have been teaching since 1976 and have a Child Development Associate credential. I have been teaching for almost 40 years and the excitement is still there!

I am still aspiring every day to be the best teacher that I can be and to enrich children’s lives with curiosity and the love of learning!

Meet Dona and Roland Young, proud Franchise Owners of Primrose School of West Chester and two Primrose schools located on corporate campuses of the Procter & Gamble (P&G) Company: Primrose School at P&G GO Child Development Center and Primrose School at P&G Winton Hill Child Development Center.
The Youngs – who have three grown children – have been married for over 40 years, and always dreamed of building a business together. They decided to join the Primrose Family because they love children, believe in the importance of meaningful educational experiences and want to help families balance the demands of their careers and family lives. The couple moved to Cincinnati in 2010 to open their first Primrose school, and opened their second and third Primrose schools on two of P&G’s campuses in January 2017.
Before becoming a Franchise Owner, Dona served as chairman, president and CEO of a Fortune 1000 company that provides life, annuity and asset management products. During the course of her 30-year career, she has honed a passion for education, talent development, business and corporate governance. Dona serves on several corporate boards, is an elected trustee of Save the Children and Save the Children International, and also serves on the board of the Saint James School, a preparatory school in Maryland. An active business consultant, Dona provides high-level guidance and support for their Primrose schools.
A graduate of Cornell University, Roland practiced law for 30 years and was the managing partner of a Connecticut law firm prior to pursuing his lifelong dream of nurturing and growing a business of his own. He has also taught at the junior high, high school and graduate school levels. Roland is a passionate, spirited and hands-on Franchise Owner who manages the majority of the operations for their schools. As a litigator, Roland measured his success based on wins for his clients. These days, he measures his success by the hugs and high fives he receives from Primrose children and the developmental accomplishments he witnesses.
Dona and Roland love offering a loving, warm atmosphere where children can grow Active Minds, Healthy Bodies and Happy Hearts®. Longtime supporters of Primrose Schools, the Youngs are thrilled to provide the quality experience they know and love to children and families in the Cincinnati area.
Their three Primrose schools feature the Balanced Learning® curriculum in infant through Pre-Kindergarten classrooms and the Primrose Explorers before- and after-school program for students up to age 12 (West Chester only). Developed and taught exclusively at Primrose Schools, the research-informed curriculum blends purposeful play with nurturing guidance to encourage curiosity, creativity, confidence and compassion.
Primrose School of West Chester is located at 8378 Princeton Glendale Road. For more information, visit www.primroseWestChester.com.
For more information about the Primrose Childhood Development Centers on P&G’s campuses (which have exclusive enrollment for the families of P&G employees), please contact Roland Young at ryoung@primrosepgwh.com.
