Primrose® introduces and reinforces new information through playful exploration, teacher-guided inquiry and rich discussion as they help foster Active Minds, Healthy Bodies, and Happy Hearts®. Your child will have fun every day as they play and learn important academic skills, social skills and more, because when they are mentally, physically and emotionally ready to learn a skill, they develop mastery.

Ms. Brooklen Buechler
Pre-Kindergarten 1 Lead Teacher

Ms. Brooklen Buechler grew up in Ralston, NE until her sophomore year in high school. She went to all Ralston schools. Growing up she always wanted to be a teacher, but changed her mind her senior year to nursing. When she went to school she realized she didn’t love nursing as much as she did teaching and helping kids learn. When she moved to Kearney for school she worked at the YMCA child care program and LOVED it! She was sad to leave but was ready to move back home. So many people recommended Primrose to work at and she’s so glad she listened and ended up here.
