Welcome to Primrose School of Westmont! I am proud to offer high-quality preschool and child care to young children and families in the Westmont, Clarendon Hills, Hinsdale, Downers Grove and Oak Brook communities.

After moving back to the western suburbs with a one-year-old, I experienced firsthand how challenging it can be to find early education that is both high-quality and well-suited for working families. Growing up in Downers Grove with a mother who was a local elementary school teacher shaped my deep respect for educators and the vital role schools play in a child’s development.

I earned a BA from Williams College and an MBA from the Wharton School, which drew me to Primrose and its emphasis on intentionality, structure and education—not just care. I also bring experience owning and operating multiple locations for category-leading brands, reinforcing my focus on building great teams, investing in training, and maintaining consistent, high standards. Additionally, I am honored to serve as a Parks
Commissioner in Hinsdale, reflecting my commitment to families and community.

At Primrose, we believe who children become is as important as what they know. Our exclusive early learning approach balances purposeful play with nurturing guidance to encourage curiosity, creativity, confidence, and compassion.

I look forward to meeting your family and introducing you to mine.
