Teachers & Staff

Kris Kapral
I started with Primrose in 2016 after working in the field of education (early childhood and elementary) since 1993. I am originally from NY and met my husband while attending SUNY Potsdam. I came to Colorado in 1997 after getting to visit multiple times while my brother was attending the Air Force Academy. We now live in Highlands Ranch and are parents to our amazing twins, who were lucky enough to attend Primrose for PreK, Kindergarten and Explorer Summer Adventure Club.
What drew me to Primrose was that the curriculum embodies teaching for everybody in a variety of ways. Character development and caring about the whole child is just as important as teaching math and literacy. Primrose does it all. I love to see the light bulb moments that occur in the classroom when a child solves a puzzle, creates a piece of artwork, or even helps a friend.
When I am not taking my children to their many sporting events, I love to cheer them on, relax with a good book, cook, and bake with my children, or binge watch reality television with my husband.

Meghan Kayser
I started at Primrose in 2019 as a part of the seasonal staff while I was in college getting my degree in Psychology and Human Services. After I graduated college I came and worked full time as a Pre-K teacher and fell in love with Primrose and the curriculum. I left for 6 months to go be an RBT but realized how much I love Primrose and the staff and leadership so I came back in June 2023 and became the Office Manager then June 2025 I became the Education Coach.
I love the Primrose curriculum and how diverse it is for everyone. All the children are able to be met exactly where they are. I also love the different life skills that it teachers the children even at such a young age. Being the Education Coach I love being able to help support the teachers and grow their skills to be the best they can be but I also love being able to watch the interactions that happen between the teachers and their students.
In my free time I love going on different hikes with my puppy, hanging out at home watching reality tv or hockey or football.

We deliver more than a curriculum; it’s a life-changing early learning experience for children and their families.
