Teachers & Staff

Mrs. Sara Campbell
Hello! I am the Divisional Vice President of Primrose Schools in the Tampa market, including Primrose School of Lakewood Ranch Town Center. I work in partnership with the administration teams at each location to ensure your child’s early educational experience sets a lifelong love of learning!
As a working mom, I know how important it is in when choosing the right childcare for your little ones. I love getting to see your children grow and master new skills, as well as getting to know your family.
I earned a Bachelor of Science degree from West Virginia Wesleyan College with a focus on Exercise Science. During my clinicals, I spent time at the local Child Development Center teaching them exercises and nutrition. It was then that I realized I had a passion for early childhood education and a natural connection with kids. I started my career in Early Childhood Education in 2015 and have earned my Child Development Associate Credential, Director’s Credential, and VPK Director’s Credentials. I relocated to the Bradenton area in 2021 with my husband, James, and our son. Having been in the field, it was important to make sure I found the right program for our son to thrive. We were fortunate to find a home quickly with Primrose School and couldn’t be happier. Since then, we welcomed our second son Frankie, who is a current student a Primrose Schools!
I take great pride in the work we all do here at Primrose Schools and genuinely believe in our mission that who children become is as important as what they know. I am here to help, to listen, and to make your experience at Primrose School one that will stay with you for a lifetime.

Mrs. Mavi Batts
Hello! I am Mrs. Mavi Batts and I am the School Director at Primrose School at Lakewood Ranch Town Center. My love for working with children was cultivated at a young age by my mom, who’s talent for teaching inspired many young minds, including my own. I was in awe of her enthusiasm and interactions with children, who’s eyes would light up with her every word.
I enjoyed volunteering at my former middle school and began my teaching career at Primrose School as a Floater Teacher in October of 2012. Since starting at Primrose School, I have had the pleasure of working with and caring for the children and families in every program.
My love for children grew when I started a family of my own. I have three children and watching them grow is a beautiful and amazing experience and I am so blessed they too are a part of the Primrose family. Becoming a parent has given me a whole new perspective on early childhood development and has heightened my awareness of the trust parents put in us to provide the care they would for their children themselves while also providing their children with a safe and happy learning environment.
I take great pride in the work we all do here at Primrose and look forward to meeting you and your family!

I love our school community and the relationships I help cultivate with our families and staff. Having a strong sense of community is important to me as it helps shape who we are and who we will become. I take pride in working at Primrose Schools and love to share that with all of our families, existing and prospective. Getting to show prospective families around our school and the benefits of being a part of our school community is my passion. I love working with students and families to create a positive experience for all that will last a lifetime.
