Welcome to Primrose School of Worthington! I am Jennifer Knapp and I am excited to welcome you to our school. As a former Primrose parent whose children attended the Primrose of Pickerington from 2009-2014, I feel as though I have come full circle. Primrose provided the perfect academic and social foundation for my children, and l am thrilled to be part of this community again.
I recently retired from public education after serving as a teacher for nine years and a curriculum administrator for seventeen years. I also earned my doctorate in Educational Administration in 2018. Impacting the lives of children is incredibly rewarding and I am so excited to be able to spend my days watching and helping kids grow. My husband, Kevin, and I live in Pickerington, and our children both recently graduated from high school in 2024 and 2025.
Primrose School of Worthington opened in December of 2011, founded by Tobie and Dan Simonds, and I am honored to continue its great traditions.

Active children become active adults. We show your child fun ways to practice proper techniques for movement, balance and motor skills with plenty of time to slide, climb and run on our age-appropriate playgrounds.
Our students are always excited to participate in Early Art Masters! They explored the colors red, yellow, and green while practicing their fine motor skills using Q-tips to paint leaves on trees. 🍂
Three-year-olds are beginning to explore world around them, building special friendships, expanding their vocabulary and recognizing numbers and letters. Our Preschool teachers support this exciting growth through purposeful play, thoughtful questions, and guided learning. With so much fun built into each day, your child will be learning essential early reading and math skills—often without even realizing it.
