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.

Hello, my name is Ms. Carpenter. I am the Regional Director at N&E Learning. I graduated from Wittenberg University with my Bachelor of Arts degree in Middle Childhood Education. I have worked in the child care environment in the past as a Kindergarten Teacher, but I have also worked with children of all ages. I worked with Primrose School of Reynoldsburg as the assistant director for three years. In my free time, I enjoy being outdoors and spending time with my 3 beautiful daughters. I am excited to start my career with Primrose and look forward to meeting all the children and their families at the Primrose School of Reynoldsburg and watching them grow!

Hello, I am your school director, Ms. Caldwell.

My  Masters of Education degree from Cambridge College and a Bachelors Degree in Music Education from Ohio Northern University helped prepare me for the over twenty years I have been in the education field.

Teaching brings such joy.  When a student lights up because the math problem suddenly makes sense, another learns to use the calm down basket and self regulate and witnessing the look or awe and wonder on a face brings magic to my soul.

I believe in community.  That we are better together! I believe in creating safe spaces for people to learn, explore, and excel. The Primrose School of Pickerington is dedicated to creating those spaces!

We look forward to you joining us and brining your own magic.
