“Hi, I am Anne Lewis, the owner and operator of the Primrose School of Shawnee.
I’d like to tell you about myself, my family and my Primrose Story. Growing up, my parents instilled strong family values in me that I continue to pass on to this day. One of the most rewarding things that I have ever done is raise my children! With my children being older now, I want to get involved in the community and make a difference in the world. I aim to provide the same high standard of care that I expect for my own children. This is what led me to opening the Primrose School of Shawnee. Primrose Schools provides a nurturing environment that feels like an extension of your own family.
Originally from Indiana, I graduated from Northern Illinois University and moved to Kansas. I have franchiser business experience and I have experience running a center and childcare. I understand the daunting challenges of balancing a career and family. At the school, I plan to handle the day-to-day operations, working closely with parents, children and staff. I am married to my awesome husband, Phil. I have three loving and amazing children; Alyssa, Abigail, and Dalton.
Primrose Schools strives to deliver the best and most trusted early education and care. We believe that 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, confidence, creativity and compassion. We deliver more than a curriculum; it’s a life-changing early learning experience for children and their families. I am excited to bring this exceptional quality care to the Shawnee community.
I look forward to meeting you and welcoming you into our Primrose family!”
