Franchise Owner
Lauren K. Briles
Meet Lauren – dedicated mother, entrepreneur and proud Franchise Owner of Primrose School of Greenville and Primrose School of Midtown Greenville. Understanding the value of early childhood education and character development, Lauren is excited to have brought the first Primrose School to the state of South Carolina. Originally from Austin, Texas, Lauren attended Furman University, where she earned a Bachelor of Arts in communication studies. Following graduation, Lauren married her college sweetheart, Tim, and made a home in Greenville. An active member of the community, Lauren also dedicates time to numerous organizations including Greenville First Steps, Reach Out and Read, Junior League of Greenville, Greenville Women Giving, and National Charity League. Lauren recognized a need in her community for early childhood education options as her friends began to start families of their own. Many parents were waitlisted at nearby child care centers and forced to travel more than an hour daily to bring their child to preschool. First introduced to Primrose in Atlanta, Lauren quickly became an avid supporter of the brand and knew it would be a perfect fit for the Greenville community. “As a parent, I understand the importance of instilling a love of learning during a child’s early years, and believe this is essential to building a new generation of bright citizens,” said Lauren. Lauren is actively involved with a variety of aspects at both schools. Her daughter, Emma, attended Primrose School of Greenville and her son, Xander, currently attends Primrose School of Greenville.
