Franchise Owner
Colleen and Nathan Clemens
Meet Colleen and Nathan Clemens proud Franchise Owners of Primrose School of Beavercreek. The Clemens began their entrepreneurial journey with Primrose Schools in 2012. They are proud to bring the Primrose experience, offering premier early education and care, to families in the Beavercreek community. Colleen and Nathan are no strangers to the Primrose brand. In fact, Primrose has been a large part of their family for many years. Their family’s story with Primrose started when Nathan’s sister began searching for early education and care options for her own son before deciding to enroll him in a Primrose school in Ohio. Extremely impressed with the Primrose experience and the positive impact it had on her son, Nathan’s sister began researching the opportunity to open her own school. It was Nathan’s sister’s own experience as a Primrose parent and later Franchise Owner that inspired other family members, including Colleen and Nathan, to get involved with Primrose. Over the years, the families have individually owned and operated several schools in Tennessee and Ohio.
Prior to becoming Franchise Owners, Colleen worked as an Operations Analyst for Exel and in international logistics for The J.M. Smucker Co. Nathan currently works as a project manager for his family’s custom home building business, overseeing construction of new homes and building projects in the Dayton, Ohio area. They are both graduates of Ohio University where Colleen earned a dual degree in international studies and Spanish and Nathan earned a Bachelor of Arts in business management. Shortly after graduating, Colleen continued her Spanish studies by moving to Spain for a year and teaching English at a bilingual day care center and an after-school academy for adults and children. She credits this experience with building her initial passion for early education and also how she and her family live their lives today, fully present and in the moment.
Colleen and Nathan have four children who have all shared in the Primrose journey with them. Their three oldest children, Callie, Mack and Rory, who are now school-aged, return each summer for Primrose Summer Adventure Camp. They look forward to it each year. Their youngest, Palmer, is currently a student at Primrose absorbed in her early education journey!
The Clemens’ are proud to offer high quality education and care to Beavercreek and surrounding area families and provide them with an atmosphere where children can grow their Active Minds, Healthy Bodies and Happy Hearts.

Grandparents Day
Grandparents hold such a special place in our children’s hearts, and we love taking time to celebrate them! Our Grandparents Day gives our students the opportunity to share their classroom, their learning, and special moments with the grandparents and loved ones who mean so much to them. From enjoying muffins together to participating in classroom activities, it’s a wonderful day filled with smiles, memories, and meaningful connections.
We are so grateful for the grandparents and special family members who help make our Primrose community so special!
Making a difference for 4 PAWS
At Primrose School of Beavercreek, we believe in teaching children the importance of kindness, compassion, and giving back to our community. Our students and families came together to support 4 Paws for Ability, an organization that provides service dogs to children and veterans with disabilities.
Through our fundraiser, our children had the opportunity to see how even small acts of kindness can make a big difference. We are so proud of our Primrose community for coming together to support such a meaningful cause and help make a difference in the lives of others.
Celebrating Cultures
Our Primrose leadership team was ready to take our students and families on a journey around the world! Dressed as our very own flight crew, we helped kick off a special evening of exploring different cultures, traditions, foods, and countries.
Giving the Gift of Reading
Our Primrose School of Beavercreek community came together for OG’s Book Drive, collecting and donating more than 500 books to the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services to support children and families in foster care.
We are so proud of our students, families, and staff for helping put books into the hands of children who need them. Through acts of generosity like this, we’re teaching our children that kindness, compassion, and giving back can make a lasting difference. 
Father's Day
We had so much fun celebrating the amazing dads and father figures in our Primrose family! Our little ones enjoyed a fun cookout-themed activity and made sweet “hot dogs” using Twinkies and icing.
Ground Hog Day at Primrose
Our students had fun celebrating Groundhog Day by learning about the tradition and casting their votes—will the groundhog see its shadow or will we have an early spring? We love making learning fun with hands-on activities and classroom traditions!
Giving Back to the Community
Our Primrose School of Beavercreek families came together to support Feed the Creek, a local organization dedicated to helping provide food for children in our community who may experience food insecurity on the weekends.
We collected and donated food items to help stock their food bags and community pantries. We are proud to teach our children that even small acts of kindness can make a big difference right here in our own community! Frequently Asked Questions
