The Rolfsen family welcomes you to the Primrose School of Dripping Springs. Our family became interested in Primrose Schools through the great education and experiences our nieces both shared at the Primrose School of Round Rock. Impressed by the quality of education Primrose provides and recognizing the importance of early childhood education, our family is excited for the opportunity to be a part of Primrose and play a role in shaping the lives of children and families in the Austin area.
Chris and Shannan Rolfsen have a son Callen and a daughter Aubri who have both attended Primrose. Chris comes from a 15 year career in Business Operations with Motorola/Freescale and Shannan from a 12 year career with non-profits including Make-A-Wish and the American Cancer Society.
We are devoted to bringing the best possible childcare experience to the community and providing children with a solid foundation to excel in the future. We understand the importance of instilling a love of learning throughout a child’s early years, and we believe this is essential to building a new generation of bright citizens.
We look forward to meeting you!
