Nichole Carpenter, Regional Director

Hello, my name is Nichole Carpenter. I graduated from Wittenberg University with my Bachelor of Arts degree in Middle Childhood Education. I have worked in the child care environment in the past as a Kindergarten Teacher, but I have also worked with children of all ages. I worked with Primrose School of Reynoldsburg as the assistant director for three years. In my free time, I enjoy being outdoors and spending time with my 3 beautiful daughters. I am excited to start my career with Primrose and look forward to meeting all the children and their families at the Primrose School of Reynoldsburg and watching them grow! 

Hi, my name is Tara Aledia. I wanted to take a minute to introduce myself and say hello to all of our Primrose families!

Prior to joining Primrose Schools, I earned my associate degree in early childhood education from Humber College in Toronto, Canada, and then proceeded to earn my Bachelor of Arts Degree in Psychology from York University in Toronto, Canada. I taught in early childhood classrooms for over a decade in both Canada and America – toddlers always being my specialty. I then spent 13 years of my career as an administrator of a childcare program for children birth through 12 years of age. I am a proud Mom to two incredible kids – a 12-year-old daughter and 7-year-old son. I have been married for 15 years and as a family we enjoy attending sporting events, cheering on the Buckeyes, and baking. I have been with Primrose since August 2023 and am looking forward to continuing to build relationships with all of you! Partnering with families, working with children, and collaborating with teachers, is why I began in this field so many years ago, and why I continue to love it to this day. I’m so thrilled to be a part of the Primrose family!

Hello, my name is Amber Martin. I graduated from Wright State University with a Bachelor of Science in Business Communication and have been working in the childcare field for 15 years.  I have taught all ages Infant-Pre-K and have worked as an Assistant Director and Director.  My favorite part of working with children every day is listening to their hilarious stories and watching the joy when they learn something new!  When I am not working with children, I enjoy activities such as camping, boating and I love snuggling at home reading a book or binge watching my favorite TV shows. I am excited to join the Primrose team and look forward to meeting the children and families. 

 Hello! I am Mrs. Walker, and I’m proud to serve as one of the Regional Directors for N&E Learning. I graduated from The Ohio State University in 2008 with a Bachelors degree in Human Ecology and Education. My journey with Primrose began fresh out of college as a Pre-Kindergarten teacher, followed by roles such as Curriculum Coordinator and Director of Primrose School of Dublin. Over the past 16 years, I’ve taught in both private and public school settings, with Primrose always holding a special place in my heart. I have four children and have had the privilege of experiencing Primrose as a parent. In my years as a teacher, administrator, and parent, I can say with confidence that Primrose is the leader in educational childcare. As Regional Director, I’m excited to continue supporting the Primrose Way and ensuring excellence in the care and education of your child during these crucial early developmental years. 

Hello! My name is Lindsey Joachim and I am a Regional Director for N&E Learning. I received my Bachelor of Science degree in Human Ecology from The Ohio State University. I have worked in the non-profit sector right here in central Ohio, as well as for the State of Ohio’s Department of Job and Family Services. I have been working in the Early Childhood Education field since 2007 and loving every minute. My husband Luke and I have 3 children of our own (two girls and a boy) all of who attend Primrose. We feel so lucky that our children have the opportunity to grow and have fun all while building their foundations for a lifelong love of learning. I am privileged to be part of three amazing schools, where we focus on building Active Minds, Healthy Bodies, and Happy Hearts! I am always available if you need me, and I am so excited to get to know you and your family.
