Franchise Owners
Mark and Nicole Camplen
Nicole has “grown up” with Primrose in her life since she began working at the Oregon Park school in 1999. She started working in the Explorer’s program during a high school course for teaching and quickly found the reward and love in working with young children. Nicole has held many positions in different classrooms with Primrose School at Oregon Park. Mark possesses more than 18 years of travel industry experience with companies such as Delta Air Lines and Travelocity.com. With the pandemic of 2020, his career path changed and he’s moved into business ownership as well. Just a little different than children, but donuts. His Duck Donuts store opened in June of 2024. Having spent the last 18 years with Primrose has given Nicole the opportunity to reach out to the community surrounding Oregon Park and be honored to provide the best and most trusted childcare for our families. Knowing, delivering and seeing the difference our school makes in these young lives and families has driven her passion. As a school leader, she puts the children and families first in every decision. Mark and Nicole married in 2010 and reside in Powder Springs with their three children, Cooper (17), Sydney (12) and Rhett (9). All three children attended Primrose School at Oregon Park since they were Infants through our Kindergarten program. As Primrose parents themselves, Mark and Nicole can see the difference a dependable, loving and safe environment makes in young children. Their promise is to deliver the WOW factor and exceed our Primrose principles of service, so that other families in our West Cobb community can have the same fantastic early childcare experience for their own children. You will see Mark and Nicole throughout the school working hard to build a partnership with our Primrose families and staff. We look forward to partnering with you to provide the nurturing care and love you desire for your child, while at the same time preparing your child academically for the future. Welcome to our school!

Are all staff members background-checked and CPR/first-aid certified?
Yes. Every Primrose staff member undergoes a thorough background check before joining our school. All staff are also CPR and first–aid certified, so you can feel confident your child is in safe, prepared hands every day.
What curriculum or educational philosophy do you follow?
Our school uses the proprietary Primrose Schools Balanced Learning® curriculum, which is research-informed and designed to nurture the whole child — intellectually, socially, emotionally and physically. We believe in balancing teacher-guided learning with purposeful play to build a strong foundation for the future.
How do you support school readiness and the transition to kindergarten?
All of our programs are designed in age-appropriate ways to prepare children for kindergarten and beyond. We focus on early literacy and numeracy as well as social-emotional skill development — so children arrive at kindergarten confident and ready to thrive. 96% of Primrose Schools Pre-K students met ASQ benchmarks for problem solving.*
What are your hours of operation?
We are open Monday through Friday from 6:30 am-6:30 pm.
How do you keep parents informed about their child's day?
Connecting school to home is one of the ways we help children thrive. We use the Procare app to share daily updates and photos so you stay connected to your child’s joy, learning and special moments
Do you offer a summer program?
Yes! In addition to our year-round classrooms for children ages 0–5, we offer Summer Adventure Club for elementary school students in kindergarten through 5th grade. Our summer program uses hands-on activities and rotating weekly themes to keep children engaged while continuing to support their development.
How do you accommodate children with allergies or special medical needs?
Health and safety is our top priority, and we work closely with families to accommodate allergies and medical needs. We ask that parents provide detailed information during enrollment so we can create a safe plan for their child. All Primrose schools are nut-free facilities.
What is your policy for school closures?
We follow a structured calendar with planned days off communicated in advance for the year. For any unexpected closures — including weather-related closures — we will communicate them as early as possible.
What is the staff-to-child ratio?
We maintain staff-to-child ratios at or below state licensing requirements to ensure every child receives the attention and care they deserve. Ratios vary by age group. Our Infant ratio is 1:4, Toddlers is 1:6, Early Preschool is 1:8, Preschool is 1:12, Pre-Kindergarten is 1:12, Private Kindergarten is 1:15. However, in our potty training and diapering classrooms we typically have 3 teachers as we know these classrooms require higher demand of supervision.
What is your sick child policy?
We ask that children stay home for at least 24 hours if they have a fever, are vomiting or show symptoms of a contagious illness. This helps keep our entire school community healthy. If your child becomes ill during the day, we will contact you promptly.
Do you offer any enrichment programs?
Yes! Primrose School at Oregon Park offers enrichment experiences including music, art, character development, and more — all woven into our curriculum. We also have dance with TLC available for ages 3 and older as well as NZone Sports for 2 years and older.
Are meals and snacks provided?
Yes, our school provides nutritious meals and snacks, and it’s all included in tuition. Our school chef works hard to prepare warm, delicious food options that keep our bellies full and our bodies growing! We offer an AM snack, lunch, PM snack and a light, late PM snack at 5:15 for any children still remaining at school.
Do you offer outdoor play or field trips?
Yes! We believe fresh air and hands-on exploration are essential parts of a well-rounded education. Children enjoy daily outdoor play in our safe, age-appropriate playground areas. Starting in Pre-K, classes participate in seasonal field trips to local parks, museums, farms, and community landmarks throughout the year. All field trips are carefully planned with safety and learning goals in mind, and families receive advance notice with permission forms.
