Our Toddler Classroom
An action-packed day full of fun and purposeful play helps toddlers develop Active Minds, Healthy Bodies, and Happy Hearts®. We know 1-year-olds are constantly on the move, exploring and learning through play at every turn. Primrose teachers use that energy and enthusiasm to foster cognitive, social, emotional and physical skills through engaging games and activities.
Nurturing Active Minds, Healthy Bodies, and Happy Hearts

Our Toddler Classroom Teachers & Staff
Ms. Taylor Kerkoff
I started my teaching journey at Primrose in 2024, and I absolutely love sharing my love for learning and fun facts with my students. I’m a big nerd at heart and enjoy cosplaying, playing video games, listening to music, dancing ballet, reading, and even playing Dungeons & Dragons.
In addition to teaching, I’ve been an actor for Kings Island’s Haunt since 2019, which is always a thrilling experience!
I’m so excited to meet you and your family and to share in the learning adventures ahead!
Ms. Toni Galligan
Hi, I’m Toni Galligan! I began my early childhood teaching journey in 2018 and have been with Primrose since 2022. I have taught in the Toddler and Early Preschool Pathways classrooms and have learned so much throughout my time at Primrose.
I truly love watching children learn and grow each day. I am a proud mom of four grown children and a grandmother to three beautiful granddaughters. In my free time, you’ll often find me spending time with my granddaughters or cheering on the Columbus Blue Jackets!
I look forward to getting to know you and your family and partnering together to support your child’s growth and development.
