Franchise Owners
Christy Black and Jordan Owens
Hello and thank you for inquiring about our school! We would love to get the opportunity to show you all the wonderful things that Primrose can offer your child and family! The Primrose team has a passion for growing children and adults and takes pride in their GROW values and the culture created within their schools. Let us tell you our story:
Christy Black and Jordan Owens have been joint owners since November of 2022. Christy purchased her first school, Primrose School of Bee Cave, in 2014. She opened Lakeway and Westlake in February and September of 2017, respectively, and Mueller in September of 2019. She and Jordan have plans to open a fifth location in Easton Park in 2025! Their dream is to open ten Primrose Schools in the Austin Market, and are halfway there!
Christy has worked for Primrose since 2007, where she worked as an Assistant Director and Director of Primrose School of Hidden Lakes, before purchasing Bee Cave and moving to Austin in 2014. Jordan Owens joined Christy’s Primrose team in the summer of 2018 as the Director of Primrose School of Lakeway.
In 2020, Christy had the opportunity to update her leadership structure and create an Executive team to run all four schools. The executive team consists of: Christy Black (Owner/CEO), Jordan Owens (Owner/COO), Jenny Pillans (Exec. Director of HR), and Selena Garza (Exec. Director of Academics).
Combined, the executive team has over 35 combined years of experience and is proud to represent the Primrose culture which you will find to be a positive, engaging, and joyful one. The executive team is available any time to discuss anything going on in your lives or simply get to know you better. You will find them here almost every day and at all of the schools’ major events; the Primrose family is an extension of their own family.
