Katie & Cole Stichler

Hi, we are Katie and Cole Stichler! We built Primrose School of Elkhorn to serve more of the Elkhorn community starting in 2025. We are also the current owners of Primrose School of Legacy, Primrose School at West Maple, and Primrose School of La Vista.  We have been married 15 years and have two boys, Trevor (11) and Brody (9). Both boys attended Primrose School of Legacy since they were 6 weeks old and are now thriving as they enter 4th and 6th grade.

Cole started his career in the financial services industry in Omaha after earning his bachelor’s degree from Nebraska Wesleyan University. In 2014, he founded Stichler Wealth Management, LLC. Katie has 14 years of experience in the education field. She completed both her undergraduate degree in education and her master’s degree in counseling from the University of Nebraska at Omaha. Before Primrose, she was a school counselor in the Omaha Public Schools system for eight years.

We were initially introduced to Primrose during our exhaustive search for quality childcare for our first son, Trevor. We wanted much more than just a daycare. We instantly fell in love with Primrose for many of the same reasons our current families have. Seeing our children grow socially, emotionally, and intellectually has been the best part of our journey together by far. We believe our professional backgrounds serve us well to own and operate multiple Primrose School locations; however, we believe being parents, and being parents to children that have been in the Primrose system, is the most valuable experience we have.

We look forward to continuing to serve the families that choose Primrose Schools for their children’s early education and care!
