Meet Mrs. Ashley:

Mrs. Ashley decided to join the early childcare field to give the future generation a strong foundation of moral and academic values.

Ashley joined Primrose School at Tradition in August 2021 and has over 10 years of experience in early childhood education, including Preschool Administrator experience. She initially joined the PSAT team as the Education Coach. Within months Ashley, with her experience, passion and leadership skills naturally assumed the role of School Director.

Ashley loves the Primrose brand, mission, and all that it stands for and works to deliver the unexpected in all that she does. She loves building relationships with the children and families and strives for that school-family feel. Her fun loving nature keeps the school cheerful with Friday afternoon dance parties and encourages learning through messy creativity.

Ashley enjoys spending time with her Husband (who happens to be her High School sweetheart) and her Daughter Harper, who currently attends Primrose School at Tradition.

As the Education Coach, Cristina loves working alongside PSAT’s teachers to help guide them in delivering engaging lessons. She passionately stands behind Primrose’s Balanced Learning approach and enjoys not only helping children grow academically but also through character development and life skills. Mrs. Cristina is always available to lend an ear to students, teachers, and parents and is committed to the successes of each child who walks in the door.
