My name is Paige, and I am the Administrative Assistant here at Primrose. I bring several years of experience in childcare, having worked in the field for approximately three years before taking time to stay home with my two boys. My passion for working with children began early on through babysitting, nannying, and serving as a mother’s helper.

Becoming a mother has always been a meaningful goal of mine, and I truly value the opportunity to both raise my children and continue working in an environment that supports young learners and families. I am grateful for the opportunity to serve as the Administrative Assistant at Primrose and have thoroughly enjoyed being part of this community.

You will most often find me at the front desk, though I also enjoy spending time outside with the children whenever I can! What I appreciate most about Primrose is our incredible teachers and families. Each member of our community is special, and it is clear that our staff genuinely cares for every child as if they were their own. As a parent, that level of care is especially meaningful to me.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending quality time with my family, whether we are playing outdoors or having a cozy movie night together.

My name is Tazeen, and I am excited to be part of the team at Primrose. I have been working in Early Childhood Education for under a year and have truly enjoyed every moment of it so far. Prior to this role, I worked as a substitute teacher in Illinois, which helped strengthen my passion for working with children.

I hold both a Bachelor’s and a Master’s degree in International Relations from Karachi University, and I value the unique perspective this background brings to my work in education.

In addition to my professional experience, I have been actively involved in volunteering within educational settings. I volunteered at Chicago Public Schools for nearly four years, serving as a full-time room parent for two years and continuing for another two years on a weekly basis. I have also regularly volunteered in the Children’s Section at the Harold Washington Library in Chicago, supporting young learners and encouraging a love of reading.

What I especially appreciate about Primrose School is its balanced learning approach. My favorite part of being here is collaborating with our team and spending time with the children, who bring so much joy to each day.

Outside of work, I enjoy shopping and cooking, especially when I can share those moments with friends and family.

Outside of work, I enjoy cooking, gardening, photography, attending concerts, spending time in nature, and, most importantly, being with my family and friends. I am thrilled to be part of the Primrose School of Novi community!
