Our Infant Classroom
We know the first year of life can have a big influence on a child’s success in the years that follow. That’s why teachers in your child’s Infant classroom provide a loving and nurturing environment as they lay the foundation for learning. This includes literacy; communication and vocabulary skills to help your infant better express their needs; gross motor skills and sensory development; and emotional well-being.
Nurturing Active Minds, Healthy Bodies, and Happy Hearts®

Our Infant Classroom Teachers & Staff
Ms. Neeper
Hi, my name is Mrs. Neeper, and I am excited to be a support teacher here at the Primrose School of Polaris. I graduated from Big Walnut high school and have raised four wonderful children, and I have spent a lot of time volunteering in classrooms. Working with children has always been a passion of mine. Outside of work, I enjoy soap making, nature walks, spending time with my family and pets, and I always have something creative going on in the kitchen. I look forward to building connections with the children and families at Primrose.

I’m Ms. Butcher. I wanted to tell you a little about myself.
I am an infant teacher at Primrose. I graduated from Gahanna Lincoln High School and have worked with children for five years now. I love watching them grow within themselves through learning and seeing their accomplishments, big and small. For fun, I love to spend time with family and friends, play games, and read books. I am so excited to learn about everyone and meet new faces!
Mrs. Trees
Hi, my name is Mrs. Trees! I grew up and attended school in Richwood, Ohio. I am a mother to two little girls. Motherhood has been the absolute most rewarding experience of my life! I have always had a passion in caring for children and being their biggest cheerleader as they learn new things! I am excited to take what I’ve learned and experienced from my own motherhood journey and implementing that into caring for your little ones. In my free time I enjoy reading, binge watching shows, and adventuring. I look forward to building a relationship with all of the wonderful families here at Primrose and having the privilege to teach and care for your children!
