Franchise Owners
Ken and Susan Muller
Welcome to our school! We are proud to bring Primrose to Ponte Vedra and the Nocatee community! As parents, we know first-hand how difficult it is to find safe, trustworthy, nurturing, high-quality childcare. We were shocked when we researched and toured childcare centers and how few we felt comfortable even considering for our children.
We were unhappy and disappointed with the options and with the childcare our children attended. This led us to further research and discovering Primrose Schools. The dedicated Education Department, Balanced Learning, character development and commitment to providing a safe, nurturing environment convinced us to become Franchise Owners and a Primrose family for life!
We decided to change careers (Ken, IT and Susan, Law) and move from Maryland to Florida in 2007 and purchased Primrose Schools at St. Johns Forest and Primrose School of Julington Creek (2007-2016). We then built Primrose School of Glen Kernan (2012-2024) and Primrose School of Ponte Vedra at Nocatee (originally named Primrose School on Crosswater Parkway, 2017-present). We are passionate about providing all that Primrose School has to offer and ensuring children are safe, happy and given the best character and educational foundations for their future.
We recognize the importance of Early Childhood Care and Education and are committed to being your partner in your child’s development. We want to provide the early learning care and experience we sought for our children. We invite you to visit our school, meet our staff and experience our family centric environment. Welcome to Ponte Vedra at Nocatee!
