Franchise Owners
Larry and Lynn Manning
Larry and Lynn discovered Primrose when searching for a high-quality, educational preschool for their children in 2011. What they found at the Primrose School of Dunwoody was not only the leader in early education and care, but also their own passion and desire to make a difference in the lives of children in the community. And after two years of working toward owning a Primrose School, Larry and Lynn acquired the Primrose School of Dunwoody on August 29, 2014.
Larry and Lynn have a strong background in business. Larry earned his MBA in Marketing and Finance from Georgia State University, previously co-owned a successful business for 10 years and worked at the senior management level in marketing, strategy, and finance for three of the largest Atlanta-based employers. Lynn earned her Masters Degree in Human Resource Management from Troy State University and possesses 20 years experience in Human Resources with an emphasis in Learning and Development.
Proud, Primrose parents and owners, Larry and Lynn are committed to continue the highest quality of educational child care for children and delivering service excellence to families. This is their greatest priority, both professionally and personally. “Primrose School of Dunwoody is well known in the community for its outstanding leadership in educational child care. Our vision is to continue and build upon that success.”
