Schedule A TourHi. My name is E’Lise and I am the Director of Education here at Primrose School of North Raleigh. I have my Bachelor of Science degree in Family and Consumer Sciences and have been working with young children since 2002. In my spare time I love spending time with my daughter, my family, and my church family. I love going shopping, reading, eating out, and traveling (especially all over the USA). I enjoy working here at Primrose and being able to play with the children and watch them grow and learn while providing support to our teachers and staff. It’s a great job!
