Our Pre-Kindergarten Classroom
Primrose® introduces and reinforces new information through playful exploration, teacher-guided inquiry and rich discussion as they help foster Active Minds, Healthy Bodies, and Happy Hearts®. Your child will have fun every day as they play and learn important academic skills, social skills and more, because when they are mentally, physically and emotionally ready to learn a skill, they develop mastery.

Nancy Marquard
My name is Nancy Marquard. I live in Fairview Park with my husband Jesse and my two daughters Emily and Kelsey. I have lived in Ohio for almost my entire life, with the exception of five years that I lived in Orlando, Florida. I love to read and watch movies as well as spend time with my family. I started babysitting in High School, which fostered my love of teaching. I graduated from UCF with a degree in Elementary Education and have worked in daycares and schools. I spent some time as a stay-at-home mom and I am so excited to get back into the classroom and meet new friends! I am also excited to share my love of reading and books!
