Hello, we are Scott and Mindy Smith; the proud parents of a 19 year old son, Kaeden, and a 17 year old daughter, Khyla. We were very excited to have the opportunity to bring Primrose Schools to Indiana in 2007 with our first school, Primrose School at Gray Eagle. We were equally as excited to have opened our second school in the heart of the Carmel business district in 2010.
As dual working parents ourselves, we know how important it is to find a warm and safe environment that will nurture your child and provide them with opportunities to socialize and learn. Our son Kaeden attended a Primrose School when we lived in Colorado; however job relocations moved us to central Indiana. We looked at several local preschools in the Fishers and Carmel areas, and enrolled our son in a reputable school. We assumed that the school would be the same as a Primrose School, but quickly realized how spoiled we were by Primrose. When we learned that we had a second child on the way, we began reassessing our childcare situation. We considered staying at home, changing schools, and in-home care, but none of these options provided everything we wanted. We kept wishing that someone would just build a Primrose School in Indiana - and, well, the rest is history.
We are committed to providing the highest quality care and education for our own children as well as yours. We love children and believe that when it comes to children, compromising is not an option. If you are looking for a safe home away from home that is full of smiling faces and a professionally developed curriculum with proven results, we would love to meet you and tell you more about our Primrose School.
