Franchise Owners

Tommy and Anna Thompson & Kimberly Graham

Tommy and Anna Thompson have been Primrose owners since 2013. When expecting their first child in 2012, Tommy and Anna looked around Austin for childcare and fell in love with the balanced approach to early childhood education that Primrose offered and decided to go all in, not just enrolling but becoming Primrose owners. All three of their children have now graduated from Primrose and are thriving in elementary and middle school.

From many years as Primrose parents and Primrose owners, they believe in the excellence that Primrose delivers on a daily basis, encompassing the whole child’s learning and character development. The Thompsons now have four schools in the Austin area, although the Four Points school is where you’ll find them most days. In 2022, they were Primrose’s Franchisees of the Year from this region, recognizing school excellence. They have served on the national advisory council, on the national education committee, on the national facilities committee, on the local Primrose school owner cooperative board, as a training school host for new franchise owners, and as advocacy chair for Austin during their years at Primrose.

When the Thompsons opened the Primrose School of Pflugerville, Kimberly Graham joined the team as the school director. After working closely together for six years, she joined them in ownership of that school in 2022 and in ownership at the Four Points school in 2025. She’s a certified teacher with twenty years of experience in early childhood education. She brings a deep knowledge of education and childhood development to the Primrose School of Four Points team.

Tommy is a Longhorn (Hook ‘em) and an avid sports fan – he will want to know all your favorite teams! Anna graduated from the University of Kansas and is an avid reader and volunteer with the Junior League of Austin, CASA of Travis County, and the Austin Ed Fund. As a family, they love to travel and play board games together. Kimberly is also a parent to three children (21, 15, 12), the youngest of which is a Primrose graduate. In her free time, you can find her painting and drawing or playing taxi to her busy 15 and 12 year old that still live at home. Kimberly, her husband Matt, and their family enjoy comedy shows, hiking and travel.

Outside Time for Toddlers

Outside time at Primrose School of Four Points looks like this. Toddlers with a parachute together might seem like pure play — and it is — but it's also building the gross motor coordination, cooperative skills, and turn-taking that early childhood researchers consistently identify as foundational to school readiness. Our outdoor program runs every day, in every season. Families in Four Points, Riverplace, and Steiner Ranch choose Primrose because they want a preschool and childcare program that takes the whole child seriously — inside the classroom and out.

Bake Sale Fun! Character development, pre-kindergarten

Pre-K hosts bake sale for Breast Cancer

Agreed. Here's the revision: --- Our Pre-K class decided they wanted to help. They baked, they set up a table, they made change, and they raised money for breast cancer research — because even four and five year olds understand that taking care of each other matters. Honestly, the cookies looked pretty good too.

Art Project two year old, daycare, painting, hands on, play based

Texture Art

Fair point. Here's a revision: --- Hands, string, and paint. Toddlers at Primrose School of Four Points make their own brushes before they make their art. It's the kind of hands-on, screen-free learning that families in Four Points, Steiner Ranch, and Riverplace look for in a preschool and childcare program — and what ends up on the paper is always worth keeping.

Story Time! Pre-kindergarten, character development, childcare

Happy Hearts in Pre-Kindergarten

Then I'd name it — parents who research Primrose will recognize it, and it signals curriculum depth to those who don't. Here's the caption: --- Puppets, voices, and a little bit of drama. Pre-K students at Primrose School of Four Points use the Happy Hearts character development program to explore kindness, empathy, and how to navigate the moments that matter — through storytelling, role play, and a cast of characters they already love. Social-emotional learning looks a lot like fun when you're five.
