Our Preschool Classroom
Your 3-year-old is opening up their world, developing special friendships, learning new words and forming new ideas every day. Through purposeful play, meaningful questions and direct instruction, our Preschool teachers encourage your child to think in new and different ways. Your child will have so much fun that they won’t even realize they’re developing the skills they’ll need for reading and math.

Our Preschool Classroom Teachers & Staff
Ms. Phillips
Hello, I am Ms. Phillips. I grew up in West Virginia where I learned how to care for my communities kids before I learned to drive! I went to college in Ohio for Fine Art and came right back into childcare by nannying infants then I taught Preschool for about 2 years! I recently came back to the childcare field and I am so excited to be apart of Primrose helping you turn your kids into mindful, kind community members. Outside of work, I love reading and hanging out with my 2 crazy dogs and energetic cat. I am ecstatic about joining all the teachers here at Primrose!

Ms. Atwell
I’m Ms. Atwell. I wanted to tell you a little about myself.
I officially started my childcare journey this past year. Before that, I also volunteered at my church’s nursery and Vacation Bible School. During my spare time, I enjoy playing video games. I also enjoy nature and being outside. Summer is my favorite season, because I can also go swimming! I am looking forward to getting to know all of the children and families this year and getting to watch them grow!

I am a graduate of Westerville Central High School. I have 5 years of experience in childcare, and I also did a year of medical schooling. I have a silly two-year-old daughter, whom I love doing activities with. We are big fans of Bluey, Elmo, and Ms. Rachel. In our free time, I love taking my daughter out to do fun things or play games!
