Teachers & Staff

Welcome to Primrose Schools!

Ashley Gray and Amina Gunaratne are seasoned Primrose school owners with over a decade of experience operating successful schools in New Jersey. We are kindred spirits who have grown closer through our shared journey as entrepreneurs and working parents looking for high-quality childcare.

The decision to open a Primrose school was deeply personal for us both. As a new mom returning to her legal career, Ashley sought a bold change that allowed her to spend more quality time with her newborn baby and family. Disheartened by the childcare services that we both experienced as parents, we set out to create a solution that would appeal to the standards of care that we wanted for our own children. This journey for exceptional care led us to Primrose Schools.

At Primrose, we believe who children become is as important as what they know. Our exclusive early learning approach balances purposeful play with nurturing guidance from teachers to encourage curiosity, creativity, confidence and compassion. We deliver more than a curriculum; it’s a life-changing early learning experience for children and their families.

Over the last ten years, we have partnered together to lead with service excellence and provide the best and most trusted early education and care.

We are excited to meet you and your family!
