Samantha Corson
Hi, I’m Samantha Corson!
I’ve been in the Early Childhood Education field for over 20 years, with nearly 12 years in a leadership role. I received my Bachelor’s Degree in Early Childhood Education with a minor in Psychology from Westfield State College.
In 2016, I worked at Primrose School of Andover as the Assistant Director. Then in 2022, I took a short break after giving birth to my second son. In 2023, I knew that Primrose was still meant to be a part of my life, and I joined Primrose School at Bedford Hills as the Director. I am excited to share my passion for bringing quality education and care to our students, families, and community. I truly enjoy getting to know each of our families and teachers as individuals. Watching the teachers engaged with the children as they are learning, is truly amazing.
I currently live in Manchester with my husband Nate and our 2 children – Kashton and Carter. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, laying out by the water, and dancing.

Hi! I’m Marina Karam
I have been working in the Early Childhood Education field for over 20 years, with almost 3 years being in a leadership role. I began working at Primrose School at Bedford Hills in 2019 as a Preschool Teacher. I then transitioned into a Prekindergarten teacher in 2022. In November 2022, I had the opportunity to step into the Assistant Director role- and I couldn’t be happier! It has been a wonderful experience working at Primrose School at Bedford Hills over the last 6 years and being able to see the loving, caring, and nurturing environment our teachers and staff display.
I currently live in Manchester, with my husband Jason and our 2 children – Autumn and Scarlett. In my personal time, I enjoy the beach during the warm seasons and spending time with my families and friends.
