Teachers & Staff
Kimberly Stevens
With over 25 years of experience working with children, I have dedicated my career to nurturing young minds and supporting the teachers who guide them. Originally from Massachusetts, I earned my Bachelor’s degree from the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth and began my journey as both a teacher and administrator. After welcoming my second child, I continued my passion for early childhood education as a nanny before relocating to South Carolina seven years ago. Since then, I’ve returned to the classroom and later into leadership as a childcare director. I am deeply committed to creating positive, supportive learning environments where children can grow, explore, and thrive. I believe that investing in our children means investing in the future—and I’m honored to be part of that important work every day.”
I’m excited to nurture young minds and build a strong Primrose Waxhaw family with yours as a valued part of it!
Vanessa Venditti
I’m so excited to be part of the Primrose Waxhaw family! As a mom of five amazing kids and someone who’s spent over 20 years in early childhood education—as a parent, teacher, homeschooler, and school leader—I care deeply about helping children grow and thrive. I believe learning should be joyful and meaningful, and I’m passionate about creating a warm, welcoming space where families feel supported and connected. I can’t wait to meet you and begin this journey together!
Franchise Owners
Sneha and Manthan Makadia
Welcome to Primrose School of Waxhaw! We are Sneha and Manthan Makadia, a physician family with Sneha being a pediatrician and Manthan a surgeon. We are proud to bring high-quality preschool and childcare to young children and families in the Waxhaw community. Our journey to Primrose started in January 2022 when we were looking for a preschool for our son, Riaan. Like so many parents, we wanted the absolute best for him but were disappointed by the lack of high-quality early education options in our area. Then, we came across Primrose and the Balanced Learning® approach and everything changed for us. The brand’s passionate commitment to the belief that who children become is as important as what they know along with the caring environment that felt like home away from home checked all the boxes for us. It also sparked a dream in us – to bring that same incredible experience to other families in Waxhaw.
Sneha graduated from Pennsylvania State University with a bachelor’s degree in biology with a concentration in neuroscience and a minor in health policy and administration and further went on to receive her Ph.D from Drexel University College of Medicine. Helping children thrive has always been Sneha’s passion, and she’s eager to combine her medical background with her love for early childhood development as the on-site owner. You’ll see her at the school daily, greeting families, managing the day-to-day operations and most importantly, sharing smiles and hugs as your children start their day. Manthan currently works with the Surgical Specialist of Charlotte as a general surgeon and is super excited to embark on this journey! We’re a family of four—our son, Riaan, is 3.5 years old, and our baby girl, Raya, is just 5 months. Life is busy, chaotic and full of joy, and we wouldn’t have it any other way! As a family, we love spending time outdoors, travelling and cheering for our favorite sports teams (sometimes a little too loudly!).
As parents, we know firsthand how important it is to find a place where your little ones will feel safe, loved and supported while learning and growing. At Primrose, learning is about more than academics; it’s about building character, confidence, creativity and compassion, which creates an environment where children can thrive in every way. From our family to yours, thank you for trusting us with the most valuable part of your lives—your precious little ones! We can’t wait to welcome you to our school and watch your little ones grow, learn and shine.
