Mrs. Saniti
Mrs. Saniti
School Director

Hello! My name is Mrs. Saniti and I’m the Director of Primrose School of Eden Prairie. After moving down to the cities in the summer of 2007, I began my journey with Primrose as a teacher in the Preschool Pathways classroom (EPS at the time). I knew after a few months that Primrose felt like home to me and I’ve been here ever since!

I grew up in the small farming community of Breckenridge MN. After graduating from Minnesota State University, Moorhead with a degree in Elementary Education I worked for Head Start and had a role in special education. I’ve always known I wanted to work in education and fell into this leadership position, which I absolutely love. I strive to make the entrance into Primrose a positive and inviting experience for all of my families. As a parent I understand the struggle between “mom guilt” and also the importance of not only the educational experience for children at this young age but building social skills as well.

In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my husband, Bryan and two daughters Sadie and Sydney. You can find me at the lake on weekends during the summer and cheering on our Minnesota sports teams during the rest of the year!

Director of Operations

Hello!

My name is Mr. Moy. I started my journey at The Primrose School of Eden Prairie in May 2015. I taught in the Preschool classrooms for three years before transitioning to the Preschool Pathways classroom, where I taught for a year and a half. In February of 2020, I became the Director of Communications for The Primrose School of Eden Prairie and Chanhassen. Recently, I have stepped into a new role as Director of Operations for the Primrose School of Eden Prairie as of February of 2022!

In my free time, I enjoy golfing and hiking with my dog Chase. I also enjoy spending time with my family and friends, and enjoying the outdoors.

I love early childhood education because I love seeing how much the kids grow and learn in such a short period of time. I love seeing their genuine joy when they accomplish a milestone.

I am excited and honored to grow and learn alongside your child.

Hello, my name is Ms. Johnson and I am excited to get to know all of you!

I grew up in Willmar, MN and moved to Jordan, MN shortly after I graduated. After that, I attended St. Cloud State University for a year doing generals with a major in Real Estate. I ended up deciding to get my Real Estate License on my own time. My first job was working at an after school daycare with children ranging from Pre-K to 5th grade. After that, I worked at a Preschool in Chaska for a summer with children’s ages ranging from 2-6 years old.

After I attended college, I worked for a year in Carver at a Preschool with 14,1 year olds! This has been my favorite age to work with so far as I love to watch them learn and grow. It is so rewarding as a teacher to know that I had an impact on these children’s lives and helped them grow up!

In my free time I enjoy shopping, going to the gym, hanging out with friends and family, and going for walks with my Red Heeler puppy!

School Float

Hello! My name is Sadie Martin, and I am a school float at Primrose. I was born in Minneapolis, Minnesota and since then I have always lived in Eden Prairie. I’m currently attending the University of St. Thomas pursuing a double-major in Psychology and Social Work with the goal of one day becoming a therapist or school counselor. I used to be an equestrian summer camp counselor, having fun in the sun with kids aged 5-12 (and horses!) and have been blessed with the opportunity to watch a couple of my younger cousins grow up from the very beginning. I’ve also spent a lot of time participating in programs that allow me to act as a tutor/mentor to kids in elementary school, along with babysitting a couple of young girls. I absolutely love working with kids because of their unique wonder for the world– watching their eyes light up when they accomplish something new or when they laugh truly brightens up my day every time! In my spare time, I love to read my Bible, ride horses, go on hiking excursions with my family and my dog Bella, and spend time with friends doing crafts.

Lisa and Benjamin Adams

It was easy to see: children were not ready for first grade. This was the conclusion that former first grade teacher Lisa Adams came to each September as children arrived in her classroom, unprepared socially and academically. She knew this from experience, and from academia she holds a Masters of Education from Hamline University but the question was what could she do about it? Lisa began her quest for top quality preschool education in 2003 when she and her husband Benjamin began planning their own family. Lisa researched 60 early childhood centers in the Twin Cities area with disappointing results. Why weren’t preschools held to the same standards as elementary schools? She was looking for research-based education and quality care with an emphasis on social/emotional skills – a place where education began early. Her search was expanded -eventually nationwide. What she sought, and finally found, was Primrose Schools. The moment Lisa walked into Primrose, she knew it was different. Not only was Primrose academically accredited, just like leading elementary and secondary schools were, but the focus that Primrose put on character development and values was evident as well. These students would be prepared for elementary school and beyond. The Adamses were sold on the country’s best private preschool and decided to bring Primrose School to Eden Prairie. In December 2005, Benjamin and Lisa welcomed their first child into the world. Just like you, the Adamses want the best for their child, and after three years of searching they found it. Benjamin and Lisa warmly welcome you and your children to Primrose School of Eden Prairie.

Our family would love to meet yours.
