I’m Alyssa Bailey. I am originally from Orange City Florida, a small town located near Daytona Beach. I moved to Jacksonville in 2010. I am a mother to a baby boy named Brooklyn and believe motherhood to be very rewarding. I have wanted to be a teacher ever since I could remember. It has always been a dream of mine to work with children and watch them grow. I have always loved children and studying Early Childhood Education has made that even more clear to me. I have just recently graduated with my associate degree in education, and I am still pursuing my studies by working towards my directors’ credentials. I have spent many hours volunteering, completing field study hours, and babysitting gaining experience in my lifelong dream. I am very thankful to be a part of the Primrose Julington Creek family and working with all the teachers, students, and parents through this exciting journey!

We are Ed and Marta Guevara we are so proud to be part of the American dream by
owning two Primrose Schools.
Ed is from Venezuela and Marta is from Cuba. We came to this country many years ago
and started out in the restaurant industry, with lots of hard work and dedication we
became owners of Primrose School of Longwood in 2012. We then purchased Primrose
School of Julington Creek and St. Johns Forest in 2016 and currently own these 2
schools in the Jacksonville area. Primrose Schools is the leader in early education and
we believe it's like no other in the industry and that is why we wanted to be a part of it.
Primrose Schools not only has provided our family with a great income, but as an
owner we are also part of the future of the children in our community and that make us
very happy. In our free time we love to go camping as much as possible with our two
children who are now married and are starting new families of their own.
