Hello, I am Mrs. Megan Stauffer, and I am the Vice President of Operations for N&E Learning. I graduated from The Ohio State University with a Bachelor of Science degree in Human Development and Family Studies. I have been in a leadership position with Primrose for the last fourteen years. I was previously an Education Coach, Assistant Director, School Director, Regional Director, and most recently, Executive Director for our schools. Before that, I was a Pre-Kindergarten Teacher and loved the Primrose philosophy. I now have my own little one who attends our schools.

My role supports the schools to ensure school excellence, compliance, training, and policy. I am so happy to begin a new Primrose journey as the Vice President of Operations.

Hi, I’m Melissa Cameron and I am a Regional Director at Primrose. I’m excited to be part of the Primrose community and to support the children, families, and educators who make each school such a special place to learn and grow.

I bring nearly 20 years of experience in Early Childhood Education, including 18 years as a school leader.  I have a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and a Master’s degree in Educational Counseling, and I am deeply passionate about early learning and the lasting impact it has on children’s lives.  I truly believe that the early years lay the foundation for lifelong success, and I feel honored to play a role in shaping those experiences.  Throughout my career, I have focused on building strong school cultures, supporting educators, and partnering with families to ensure children feel safe, valued, and excited to learn.  I lead with a collaborative, supportive approach and believe the best outcomes happen when we work together.

I am originally from New York and moved to Ohio in 2005.  I am married to my husband, Ryan, and I have 3 sons, all grown now, as they like to remind me, along with 3 goldendoodle fur babies.  Outside of work, I enjoy spending time outdoors, shopping, traveling and cheering on The Ohio State Buckeyes.  I’m proud to be part of Primrose, and look forward to continuing to support our schools as we maintain the high standards and exceptional care that Primrose is known for.
