Primrose School of Pickerington

I'm Judie Brenneman. I am privileged to be a part-time infant teacher at Primrose Pickerington. My informal education comes from having 4 children, 7 grandchildren and 4 great grandchildren. I love watching the infants develop their little personalities and enjoy providing them with the nurturing and caring environment that they need to develop into healthy, happy human beings. My formal education is as a retired licensed massage therapist (25 years) and upon retiring returned to Ohio Unversity to complete an associates degree in science started 37 years ago. I look forward to each and every day in my infant room--giving and receiving lots of love!

Hi, my name is Amie Azbell. I am an Early Preschool 2 teacher here at Primrose School of Pickerington. I have an associate’s degree from Ohio University-Lancaster in Child Development, Early childhood education. I have worked in Early childhood education for the the last 20+ years. I worked at Head Start for fifteen years; my age group I worked with there was three to five year olds. I also ran a before and after school childcare program at the West After School Center in Lancaster working with ages five to nine. I had a friend tell me about Primrose School of Pickerington and how awesome it was to work here. I knew it was time for a change, but what a change it has been. I knew from the very day that this was where my new chapter was about to begin. I cannot wait to get to work now because I know when I get here I am greeted by the most wonderful administration I have ever had in all my years of teaching. Parents tell us on a regular basis how grateful they are to us for taking such great care of their babies, that means the world to me to know that we are doing is right! I love Primrose for so many reasons; the staff of amazing dedicated women, parent involvement, and an incredible curriculum geared towards each age group individually, a wonderful clean working environment, and supplies are always abundant. Our administration shows their appreciation for their staff on a daily basis by incentives, generous amounts of praise and genuine caring about each and every staff member. Now I want to talk about our amazing owners, Ashley and Luke are the most caring, generous and hands on people I have ever had the privilege to meet. It is wonderful to see children who have moved on to the next classrooms run down the hall for kisses and hugs from us, or stop into our classroom just to say hi! This job is now my forever home I cannot see myself working anywhere else!!!!

Hi, my name is Allie Stanley. I am a Pre-Kindergarten teacher here at Primrose School of Pickerington. I have my Bachelor's Degree from Bowling Green State University in "Intervention Specialties". I have some previous experience working in early childhood education as well. I love working with children of this age group because it is extraordinary watching them gain insight to everything new as they learn with such enthusiasm.

Primrose is the perfect school for me because the administrative staff is so supportive of their teachers. All the teachers here at Primrose are eager to teach and to learn from their students each and every day.

Hi!!

My name is Tilaksha Patel and I’m proud to be part of Primrose of Pickerington team.

I’m the co teacher with Mrs. Lowers in Pre-K 2 class.

I was born and raised in Bolton, United Kingdom where I studied early childcare. I moved to Pickerington in 2003 after getting married to my husband in United Kingdom. We have two girls, Keira 15 and Anya 11.

I have over 20 + years of childcare experience and I absolutely love it. I love to watch children learn and grow everyday at their own pace. I’m grateful I can be part of their world and see all their accomplishments.

My name is Cherie Dickey and I'm excited to be joining the Primrose Pickerington team! Originally from southern Ohio, my husband and I have been married for 19 years. We have one daughter, Faith, and one son, Samuel. "Oliver", our lovable Cocker Spaniel and our moody cat "Princess Lolly Longtail" complete our home.

I have earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Communication Studies from Arizona State University. My most recent position was in an Arizona elementary school as a preschool assistant teacher. I loved being in the classroom working and playing with all our little friends. I learned just as much from my students as they learned from me!

We are a proud military family. My husband, Jeremy, recently retired from the United States Air Force after serving our country for 20 years. We've throughly enjoyed and appreciated our time serving. Many friends and memories have been made along our journey.

My family is happy to be settling down in our new home, and we're ready to begin a new adventure here in Pickerington!

Hello! My name is Emma Beery, and I am one of the support staff members here at Primrose Pickerington. This means I get to float around to all of the classrooms and gain experience in each age group. I am currently working on getting my bachelors in Early Childhood Education at Ohio University Lancaster. I hope to teach Kindergarten after graduation. My favorite thing about working with kids is seeing their faces light up when they learn something new.
