Hi, my name is Ms. Sam. I was raised in Cape Town, South Africa, and as a teenager moved to Chicago to pursue a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Trinity International University. After graduating, I began the necessary schooling to pursue a career in marriage and family therapy while working as a nanny part-time. During this time, I realized that I valued being a part of the teachable moments in a child’s life (five years with the same family). I have since earned a Master’s degree in Early Childhood Education from DePaul University and hold an Illinois Professional Educators License (PEL) to teach birth-third grade. I’ve taught at various schools over the last decade, and life has brought me here. I am so excited to be teaching at PrimWin!

I’ve been through several hurdles in my life, but I’ve survived each one. I’m proud of that! I love my faith & family. I love exploring new things & dream about traveling to bucket list locations. I love taking photos, vintage hunting, & am a “Potter Head.”  I have my Master’s in Mental Health Counseling. After dedicating 10 years to the field, I decided to make a career change. I landed at PrimWin for my first teaching experience. I was the Lead Infant 2 teacher for 2.5 years and loved every bit of it. I am currently the Lead Building Float and manage PrimWin social media (Website, Facebook, & Instagram).

I am proud to work at Primrose because it is the first place I have felt at home since my previous job. Primrose’s main goal is the children’s safety, their relationships, and most importantly, that they are loved by everyone who cares for them. I am thankful that I am part of the PrimWin team.

Hello, I’m Ms. Sandy! I love working with kids and have four of my own. I enjoy teaching infants and watching them grow and reach their milestones. My favorite hobbies are knitting and crocheting. I also love a good book and a good movie.

I have a BA in Early Childhood Education and Psychology. I have been working with young children since I graduated in 1999. I worked with infants and toddlers in childcare for over 10 years. I then decided to provide childcare out of my home for several years! My heart is with infants and toddlers because I love nurturing their curiosity and watching them reach their milestones. My favorite holiday is Christmas. I love Christmas music and putting up decorations. I have three children, ages 21,19, and 15 + 8 pets. I have three dogs (Max, Molly, Greta), three cats (Chino, Mis, and Rosie), a black velveteen rabbit named Rocco, and a parakeet named Tweety. In my personal time, I love to travel with my kids, read, and do crossstitch!

Hello, My name is Ms. Lisa.  I’m so proud to be a part of this wonderful team of teachers here at PrimWin! I have a Bachelor’s Degree and bring over 20+ years of experience working with young children and families. I love seeing the look on a child’s face when they learn something new for the first time. It’s priceless. I look forward to helping your child learn and grow here at Primrose!

Hi! My name is Zoe Herman and I’m so happy to be your Pathways teacher here at PrimWin. You may have seen me in Infant, EPS, Preschool, and Pre-K classrooms within the past year! I have been here for almost a year and it’s been an absolute blessing. I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else in the childcare industry for so many reasons. This is a place where you feel at home and know that your child is in the BEST hands!! PrimWin has fostered my love for teaching your little ones and will forever do so! The support you get from this amazing place is extraordinary, you wouldn’t want it any other way. I hope to see you guys around and I hope you have an AMAZING day!

Welcome, Primrose parents & students! My name is Ms. Canndy. I am SO excited to be teaching Preschool Pathways. I know that this will be an awesome year. I can’t wait to see how great the students will all become. One of my goals is to create a classroom community where your child feels welcoming, safe, and excited to learn. I have ten years of Early Childhood experience, nine years of serving in the children’s ministry, & six months of leading it. My passion for teaching began in my Kindergarten class. I had the best Kinder teacher & I knew I wanted to be just like her.

I am so excited to be at Primrose working with the Pre-K kids! I have worked with children my whole life and have a special spot in my heart for the youngest generation. Preparing them for Kindergarten is such a joy! I have worked in several early childhood environments and have found Primrose to be an exceptional place to help nurture children!

Primwin for the WIN!

I am proud to work at PrimWin because we are appreciated. No one makes you feel like you are not part of the team. In my free time, I like to spend time at my lakehouse, play with my grandchildren, and read.

I am from Minooka IL. I grew up on a farm and loved it. I am one of 8 kids. There are 6 girls and 2 boys. I have been married for 28 years and have two sons. Ethan, 27, and Kyle, 23. In September 2021 I found out that I had breast cancer in my right breast stage one. I had them both removed, chemo and radiation. I am great now just on chemo pills. I will be on chemo pills for the next 10 years. I was at the Primrose of Naperville as the Kitchen manager for 4 years. They were amazing for me and all that I went through. The staff, parents, and kids were very supportive.
