Welcome to Primrose School of Exeter! We are Chelsey and Brandon Derry, and we are honored to bring Primrose’s premier early education and care to the children and families of Exeter and the surrounding New Hampshire communities.
Before becoming owners of Primrose School of Exeter, we both proudly served in the United States Air Force, where we met. After Chelsey completed her service, she transitioned to a successful career in finance, working for several organizations across the country and in the Seacoast region of New Hampshire. Her work has centered on helping small, local businesses achieve financial growth, while also being an active member of her community and a dedicated mother. Brandon continues to serve in the New Hampshire Air National Guard and earned his MBA from the University of New Hampshire. He has focused his career on aviation and community support, culminating in his role as a Program Manager for General Electric.
When we returned to New England after completing our active-duty commitments, we faced the challenge of finding high-quality childcare that would support our children’s physical, mental, and social development. It was during this search that we discovered Primrose Schools, and immediately knew it was the perfect fit for our family. The unique and purposeful Balanced Learning® approach resonated deeply with us.
After experiencing Primrose firsthand, we became passionate about bringing this exceptional early education to our community. This led us to make a career change and pursue owning a Primrose School.
At Primrose School of Exeter, Chelsey oversees the daily operations and manages the school’s financials, leveraging her business degree from the University of New Mexico. Brandon focuses on marketing, community outreach, and also serves as the school’s IT support.
Our goal is simple: to provide a safe, nurturing environment where children can learn and grow through Active Minds, Healthy Bodies, and Happy Hearts®—all while giving parents peace of mind knowing their children are receiving the best education and care possible.
We are excited to be part of this incredible community and look forward to supporting your family’s journey with us!
