I’m Becky. I wanted to tell you a little about myself.
I have been with PSFC for over 16 years! Starting out as a Preschool teacher, then working my way into being a School Director for 8 years in Columbus, Ohio I then decided I wanted to become a Franchise Owner ! I moved to Mooresville in November of 2015 to take over the ownership of the school, along with my business partner Doug. I have two beautiful children, Payton who is 11 and went through the entire Primrose program thru Kindergarten is now in middle school in 6th grade! Finnegan, who just turned 8 also went through the entire program at Primrose as well and is in 2nd grade. I am so lucky and fortunate to be here and look forward to continually serving the Lake Norman community with the utmost care in service and childcare each and every day!

Hello! We are Becky and Doug Bradley and we are the proud Franchise Owners of the Primrose School of Lake Norman. We have two children, Payton (11) and Finn (8) and are honored to be a part of such a wonderful community! Primrose Schools has played a major role in my (Becky’s) personal and professional life over the past 16 years. I started with Primrose in 2006 in Columbus, Ohio and was a school Director for over 7 years with the aspiration of one day being a school owner. I earned my B.A. in Journalism/Marketing Communications from Northern Illinois University in DeKalb, IL. I have years of management experience at a Primrose overseeing the daily operations of the business and many years overall working in the childcare industry. Doug worked for Gap Inc. for over 16 years in several different capacities, most recently as a financial reporting analyst. We feel confident we have all the necessary tools for a successful school!
Seeing Primrose through parent eyes is what really changed our overall perspective. We truly saw first-hand with both of our children in the programs how education starting even at the early stages of infancy plays an imperative role in shaping children’s lives. The benefits we have seen Payton and Finn gain from being in a Primrose School have been instrumental in how well they were prepared for going into grade school. We feel very strongly that the balanced-learning curriculum along with the child-initiated and teacher-directed activities offered throughout the day provide the perfect balance for an overall structured program. Academics along with integrating social and character development ensures a well-rounded education which is what we found in Primrose Schools!
As the ‘Leader in Early Childhood Education’ we know Primrose Schools brings something unique that we didn’t find elsewhere. As the first SACS/CASI accredited private preschool we feel blessed to be offering such an outstanding academic program to the Lake Norman community. We are truly dedicated to being supportive owners of ensuring each child is more than ready for Kindergarten and years beyond. We can’t wait to be a part of some of the most important years in children's lives and look forward to partnering with you and your family for many years to come!
