Primrose School would love to meet your family.
Schedule A TourI have dedicated my life to creating enticing, exciting environments that call for children to want more. My Masters degree in Early Childhood, put me on the path to being a director. Building relationships with children and families is at the core of promoting a window to a well-balanced education.
To be part of the total growth of children and to support this voyage with the parents is the highlight of my passion for what I do. I look forward to this gentle journey together as partners. I will strive to expose the children to the very best of what life has to offer.

Hello! We are Abraham and David Ezekiel—brothers and proud Franchise Owners of Primrose School of Old Bridge. As passionate entrepreneurs and longtime residents of the New Jersey, we are excited to offer Primrose Schools and the quality education and care environment it provides to children and families in the Old Bridge, Manalapan and Marlboro communities.
When seeking opportunities to start our own business, we were initially drawn to Primrose Schools because, for us, it meant having a positive influence on children in our community while being able to spend more time with our own little ones. In Primrose Schools, we saw what other care providers in the area lacked – a premier quality education, a balanced and research-informed program and a lasting positive effect on young children, both socially and intellectually. These are the things we had always desired for our own children, so when the opportunity arose to extend the Primrose Experience to families in our community and open Primrose School of Old Bridge, there was no hesitation.
As working parents ourselves, we understand the importance of pursuing a career while ensuring that your children are in a safe, nurturing environment where they are loved and cared for. Primrose parents can rest easy, knowing their children are receiving the best care and premier early education that will help set the foundation for future success. Our hope is that our school will provide parents—both living in the community and commuting to the city—a peace of mind knowing their children are growing their Active Minds, Healthy Bodies and Happy Hearts®.
Slated to open in spring of 2016, Primrose School of Old Bridge will feature the exclusive Balanced Learning® program.
We can’t wait to meet you and welcome you to our Primrose family!
