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!
