Hi, we’re Joe and Kristen Faragalli, proud parents of Hudson, Giuliana and Michael and owners of Primrose School of Centerville and Primrose School on Yankee. We were searching for a new venture that we could tackle together and were “sold” when we learned how closely Primrose’s values align with our family values. We are so excited to be partnering with Primrose to further integrate these values into the lives of the children we are caring for and educating during their early years. As parents, we understand the importance of knowing your children are in a safe, secure, and enriching environment that promotes learning through purposeful plan and nurturing guidance.

We have always known Primrose to be the premier childcare, preschool, and kindergarten experience in our area. We feel fortunate to have the opportunity to share Primrose’s unprecedented standards, values, and unique Balanced Learning Approach® with our local community.

Kristen is a Board Certified Behavior Analyst and has worked with young children and adolescents since 2007. She graduated from Ohio University with a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology in 2007 and completed her Master’s Degree in Psychology from Capella University in 2017.
