Hello! My name is Olga Ramírez.

I hold an Associates in Science and a Bachelor’s Degree in Biology with a minor in Education. I am also currently working on my Masters in Education Leadership at Texas Woman’s University. I have over 7 years of early childhood education and it all began here at Primrose School of Firewheel! I have worked in every class from the Infant Room through Explorers at several Primrose locations. I am now back and so excited to pick up where I left off! I am a huge people person and have never met a stranger!

I love everything about the Primrose curriculum and environment. I love watching the children reach new milestones and celebrating them every chance we get. I am excited to be part of the Primrose School of Firewheel family as it gives me the opportunity to do what I love: teach young minds.

I cannot wait to build positive relationships with all the staff and families here! I look forward to getting to know every family and being part of this amazing school.
