Franchise Owners
Susan Davis and Sandy Mining
Welcome to Primrose School of Bellevue at Harpeth! We are Susan Davis and Sandy Mining, and we are proud to bring high-quality preschool and child care to young children and families in the Bellevue community.
Our journey in early childhood education began nearly two decades ago when we each started as teachers in Primrose schools. Those experiences sparked a lifelong passion for helping children grow academically, socially and emotionally. After witnessing the impact of the Primrose Balanced Learning® approach firsthand, we knew we wanted to create that same experience for more families by opening a Primrose school of our own.
Together, we bring more than 40 years of Primrose experience. Throughout our careers, we have served in a variety of roles, including teacher, trainer, leader and curriculum coordinator. Susan brings experience as the owner of three existing Primrose schools, and on-site owner, Sandy, brings 15 years of experience in training, leadership and curriculum development across the Primrose system. We are honored to be part of the Bellevue community and are committed to creating a safe, nurturing environment where every child can thrive.
At Primrose, we believe who and a child becomes is just as important as what they know. 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 experience for children and their families.
We are excited to meet you and your family!
