Jasmine Coats
Assistant Director

I am honored to serve as the Assistant Director here at Primrose, a place I’ve proudly called home for the past seven years. Originally from Birmingham, Alabama, I bring over 10 years of experience in early childhood education, and it has been such a joy to grow both personally and professionally within the Primrose family.

I began my journey as the Lead Teacher in our Young Toddler classroom, then moved on to lead in Early Preschool before stepping into the role of Office Assistant. These experiences laid a strong foundation for the work I do today as Assistant Director, where I’m proud to support our teachers, families, and school community every day.

I’ve also had the special privilege of watching my own daughters thrive here—one currently attending and one a proud alumna. Being both a parent and a team member has deepened my love for our school and strengthened my belief in the work we do.

One of my favorite parts of my role is overseeing enrollment and leading school tours. I love connecting with new families and helping them feel confident and welcomed as they join our community.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my wonderful husband and our two daughters. I am also incredibly grateful to work under the guidance and support of our dedicated owners, Chris and Stacy Vines, whose commitment to excellence inspires us daily.

Primrose truly feels like a second home, and I’m so thankful to be a part of a place that puts children, families, and heart at the center of everything we do!
