Our Toddler Classroom
An action-packed day full of fun and purposeful play helps toddlers develop Active Minds, Healthy Bodies, and Happy Hearts®. We know 1-year-olds are constantly on the move, exploring and learning through play at every turn. Primrose teachers use that energy and enthusiasm to foster cognitive, social, emotional and physical skills through engaging games and activities.
Nurturing Active Minds, Healthy Bodies, and Happy Hearts

Ms. Natalie Lockhart
Let’s get to know each other!
I’m Natalie, and I wanted to tell you a little about myself. I live in Springboro with my husband, Charles, and our three kids, Ava, Alyssa, and Emmett. We also have three pets: Dakota and Bubby, our dogs, and Boba, our cat. I have worked in early childhood education for over 20 years, primarily with younger and older infants, and have been at Primrose for almost 9 years. I also hold a CDA specializing in Infants and Toddlers. I am looking forward to watching and helping children learn and discover the world around them!
I have over 20 years of experience in childcare and teaching. My educational background includes a high school diploma and a CDA. My favorite thing about working with children is watching them learn and grow. I absolutely love the children’s book “Matilda,” and my favorite holidays are Christmas and Halloween. Our favorite family tradition is waking the kids up with cupcakes, candles, and singing “Happy Birthday.” In my personal time, I enjoy playing pickleball, coloring books and crafts, watching movies and playing games, walking my dogs, and listening to audiobooks.
I can’t wait to learn more about you and your family.
