Heather Rieboldt
Welcome to Primrose Schools!
Hello, my name is Heather Rieboldt, and I am the proud owner of Primrose School of Bear Creek. Born and raised in northern Michigan, I moved to Colorado in 2006 and I am proud to call the Lakewood community home with my husband and two children.
As working parents, my husband and I know how important it is to find quality child care that provides parents with the confidence of knowing their child is not only safe but also engaged in a meaningful, positive, and thriving environment. As I explored opening a school of my own, I knew that I wanted to become part of the Primrose family due to the level of care and education provided through the time-tested Primrose Schools Balanced Learning® curriculum that helps instill a love of learning and discovery in children.
Who children become is as important as what they know, and this is a belief that is at the core of our Balanced Learning® approach. Our exclusive early learning approach balances purposeful play with nurturing guidance from teachers to encourage curiosity, creativity, confidence and compassion. We deliver more than a curriculum; it’s a life-changing early learning experience for children and their families.
Each day I get to see the wonder of the world through our students’ eyes, and I know what we do as teachers and educators truly matters!I am very thankful that I get to serve my community and fulfill my passion of caring for children and staff every day at our school. I hope that you come to visit us!

Frequently Asked Questions
Are all staff members background-checked and CPR/first-aid certified?

How do you support school readiness and the transition to kindergarten?
All of our programs are designed in age-appropriate ways to prepare children for kindergarten and beyond.
