Franchise Owners
Kimberly Graham in partnership with Tommy and Anna Thompson
Graham Family
I’m Kimberly Graham and I’m excited to get to know your family at the Primrose School of Pflugerville!
My journey to becoming a Primrose owner started many years ago in a small town in Iowa. My mom cared for children in her home, and I loved having so many playmates. Ever since then, I knew I wanted to work with children. I completed my bachelor’s degree in Art Education at the University of Northern Iowa and had the pleasure of student teaching in Round Rock, achieving my teaching certification. We loved the Austin area so much that my high school sweetheart Matt and I moved to Texas, married, and put down roots.
My future as a middle school art teacher evolved after we had our first child. I realized the love I had for nurturing and educating the young child. My professional career started in a preschool classroom and as I grew as a teacher so did my love for working with other teachers and the families we cared for.
The past 20 years I’ve spent growing as a leader and experiencing a variety of programs. We had two more children of our own and built a home in Pflugerville. I joined Primrose Schools in 2016 as a school director, knowing Primrose Schools is on the cutting edge of child development. Tommy and Anna Thompson have been amazing mentors and friends these past 8 years. They have supported my growth in ways for which I will forever be grateful. When they approached me about joining them on the ownership team, I was excited for the challenge. I knew this was where I belonged.
I’m honored to provide quality education and care to our Pflugerville community. All children should have an opportunity to be Primrose children as my own have been.
Thompson Family
Tommy and Anna Thompson welcome you to the Primrose School of Pflugerville at Falcon Pointe. When searching for childcare for their daughter, Harper, they struggled to find an option they were excited to partner with as parents. A good friend introduced them to a Primrose School, and they were blown away by the quality curriculum, caring teachers, and overall professionalism. They are thrilled to be Primrose owners and Primrose parents. Caring for people is their passion. They previously owned a home care company serving older adults. After building that business from the beginning to a successful transition to new owners, they traveled for 16 months around the world. Both dreamed of becoming teachers as children, and owning a Primrose is a realization of that childhood hope. Though the age they serve has changed, the mission has not to deliver quality service and make a positive difference in the lives of the staff and families they work with. They are proud of their two daughters who attended Primrose from babyhood through Pre-K graduation (and are now enthusiastic fans of Primrose Summer Adventure Club) and enjoy watching their youngest son grow and learn at Primrose School of Pflugerville.
