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.

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.
