Franchise Owners

Steven and Heather Elliott

Hello! We are Steven and Heather Elliott, the proud owners of the Primrose School of Cedar Park West, as well as the Primrose School of Crystal Falls and the Primrose School at Rancho Sienna. As parents, we understand how difficult it can be to find both a safe and educational environment that would provide the exceptional level of care we expect for our most precious gifts. We are beyond excited to be a part of the Primrose family and to share this amazing school with the Cedar Park community.

We first discovered Primrose, in 2007 when Heather was looking to continue her career as a preschool Director, as well as find a high-quality preschool for our son, Jack. We fell in love with the curriculum, the focus on character development and the partnerships formed with parents. We added two more amazing boys, Cole and Luke, to our family and all three absolutely loved going to Primrose every day, playing with their classmates, making beautiful works of art, singing songs, and learning new things. The entire staff at Primrose did such an exceptional job in helping our children grow, learn, and strengthen their social skills. We could not have been happier with our decision to become part of the Primrose family.

It wasn’t long after seeing the positive impact that Primrose had on our boys; socially, emotionally, and intellectually that we decided we would like to open our very own Primrose school.

Prior to becoming Primrose franchise owners, Steven, an IT Consultant, worked in the corporate world in a variety of Information Technology leadership and process-oriented positions. Heather has a bachelor’s degree in Family and Child Development and has been working in the field of Early Childhood Education for almost 30 years—the last 19 of those years she has worked for Primrose Schools in the Cedar Park and Georgetown area as both a Director and an Area Director. When an opportunity to own a Primrose was presented to us, we jumped at the chance. We are absolutely thrilled to be a part of such a beautiful community.

Who children become is as important as what they know 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.

We are excited to meet you and your family!

Our family would love to meet yours.
