Our Before & After School Care
Our Explorer program is designed to nurture Active Minds, Healthy Bodies, and Happy Hearts® in children starting at five years old. Your child can relax, make friends, get homework help and continue to learn while having fun as they explore creative expression, sports, technology, drama, music, games and more.

Our Before & After School Classroom Teachers & Staff
Ms. Tagro
My journey working with students began through a summer camp program where golf—one of my personal passions—was the main attraction. After graduating high school in 2021, I immediately entered the workforce and later began my studies at Columbus State Community College, where I am currently pursuing a degree in Early Childhood Education. I’m thrilled to be part of the team here in Pickerington. Working with students as they grow, learn, and discover who they are is incredibly rewarding. I look forward to building meaningful connections and supporting each child on their unique journey.

I am excited to begin my journey as a teacher and to be part of a community that values learning, growth and meaningful relationships. ALthough I am new to teaching, I bring a strong work ethic. a positive attitude and a genuine passion for working with children.
One of my favorite things about working with young minds is celebrating their unabashed creativity and seeing the world through their unique ideas and imaginations. I love watching children grow in confidence, discover new skills, and reach exciting milestones.
I will also enjoy singing and bringing music into the classroom.
