Welcome to Primrose School of South Olathe! We are proud to bring high-quality preschool and child care to young children and families in the Olathe, Kansas community.
As working parents, we understand how critical the first five years are for every child as it affects their perception of themselves and how they view others. We also recognize the importance of finding a child care provider with a safe environment that supports emotional, social, creative and cognitive growth. Both of our daughters went to a Primrose school from 6 months old to pre-kindergarten graduation and attended before-and after-school programs. Our deep love for children and strong commitment to community is the motivation behind bringing a Primrose school to south Olathe.
With backgrounds in engineering and project management, we are equipped to ensure operational excellence along with innovation and technology. We have lived in the Overland Park and Olathe area for 18 years. We are blessed with two beautiful girls Eva (15), Anya (11) and a spoiled dog, Tux (5 years). We both love travelling for leisure and spending time with our children. Our daughters are active in sports, so most of our free time involves playing, practicing and traveling with them.
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 experience for children and their families.
We are dedicated to providing a safe and loving space in south Olathe where families feel supported, children feel valued and lifelong learning begins. We are excited to meet you and your family!
