Welcome! We have been blessed to have opened the Primrose School of Dublin and to be a part of so many families in the area. When the school opened in 2006 it was our pleasure to introduce the Primrose Balanced Learning philosophy to Dublin. Since then, twelve more schools have joined us in the Columbus market proving the lasting impact that Primrose is having on families across the country.

We are both from Columbus and have three beautiful children; Ethan, Connor and Lydia. Our own children have attended the school and have had the opportunity to thrive from the balanced curriculum and the nurturing environment. We provide a true home away from home that is full of smiling faces and founded on a professionally developed curriculum with proven results. As owners, we are proud to say that we are actively involved in the daily operations of the school and are committed to maintaining the highest quality standards that our parents expect.

It has been our pleasure to bring this wonderful opportunity to the children and parents of the Dublin Community. We would love to meet you and tell you more about ourselves and the Primrose difference. We can’t wait to meet you!

Frequently Asked Questions

Are all staff members background-checked and CPR/first-aid certified?

Yes. Every Primrose staff member undergoes a thorough background check before joining our school. All staff are also CPR and firstaid certified, so you can feel confident your child is in safe, prepared hands every day.

What curriculum or educational philosophy do you follow?

Our school uses the proprietary Primrose Schools Balanced Learning® curriculum, which is research-informed and designed to nurture the whole child — intellectually, socially, emotionally and physically. We believe in balancing teacher-guided learning with purposeful play to build a strong foundation for the future.

How do you support school readiness and the transition to kindergarten? 

All of our programs are designed in age-appropriate ways to prepare children for kindergarten and beyond. We focus on early literacy and numeracy as well as social-emotional skill development — so children arrive at kindergarten confident and ready to thrive. 96% of Primrose Schools Pre-K students met ASQ benchmarks for problem solving.*

What are your hours of operation? 

We are open Monday through Friday from 7:00 am-6:00 pm.

How do you keep parents informed about their child's day?

Connecting school to home is one of the ways we help children thrive. We use the Procare app to share daily updates and photos so you stay connected to your child’s joy, learning and special moments
