Franchise Owners

Ashley Gray and Amina Gunaratne

Welcome to Primrose School of Collegeville! We’re proud to bring high-quality early education and care to families in the Collegeville community.

As longtime friends and experienced Primrose school owners, we’ve spent over a decade operating successful schools in New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Our journey began as working parents seeking exceptional childcare—an experience that inspired us to create something better. That search led us to Primrose Schools, whose values aligned with our own.

Ashley, a former attorney, was looking for a meaningful change after becoming a new mom. Amina shared the same passion for creating a nurturing, high-quality environment for children. Together, we’ve built schools rooted in compassion, curiosity and service excellence.

At Primrose, we believe who children become is 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’re excited to meet you and your family!
