Kelly Britton
Executive Director

I’m Kelly Britton, and I take great pride in serving as the Executive Director of Primrose School of South Plano. With a solid background spanning seventeen years in early childhood education, I obtained my Bachelor of Applied Arts and Sciences (BAAS) degree in Early Childhood Education and Business Administration from the University of North Texas. I furthered my education by earning a Master’s in Early Childhood Education and Curriculum Instruction from Concordia University.

My unwavering commitment to working with children stems from the satisfaction of knowing that I play a role in equipping them with the tools they need to excel in their educational pursuits. At Primrose School of South Plano, I consider it an honor to serve the children and families dedicated to providing a safe, healthy learning environment. My mission is to continue the vision of Primrose, ensuring that we deliver the highest-quality early childhood education to every student in our care.

Outside my professional role, I actively engage in community service and reside in Rockwall with my husband and four children. My involvement includes serving on various youth organization boards, including a two-term presidency of the Education at Our Savior Lutheran Church and my current role as the Treasurer for the Texas Licensed Child Care Association.

Should you wish to get in touch with me, please feel free to reach out via email at kelly.britton@primrosesouthplano.com. I eagerly anticipate the opportunity to meet you and your family!

Franchise Owner

Najiyyah Crayton

Hello! I am Najiyyah Crayton, proud Franchise Owner of Primrose School of South Plano. As a Primrose parent, I am thrilled to bring the Primrose experience—offering premier early education and care—to families in the Plano community and the surrounding Dallas-Fort Worth area.

I am a proud mother of three wonderful children—two sons and a daughter. I first discovered Primrose while searching for a high-quality early education and care provider for my son, Patrick. After touring a Primrose school, I was genuinely impressed by everything it offered. From the exclusive Balanced Learning® curriculum to the warm, family atmosphere, I didn’t hesitate to enroll Patrick—and later his younger brother, Preston. Once we opened in early 2015, my sons attended Primrose School of South Plano’s Explorers after-school program and summer camps.

As a working parent, I understand the complexities of finding a premier preschool provider focusing on children’s social, emotional, intellectual, and physical development. I am deeply committed to creating a safe and nurturing environment at our school while also providing parents with peace of mind—knowing their children are in a place where they can grow their Active Minds, Healthy Bodies, and Happy Hearts®.

I look forward to meeting you and welcoming your family to the Primrose community!

Our family would love to meet yours.
