    ​Kelly Britton

    Executive Director

    I am Kelly Britton. I am proud to serve as the Executive Director of Primrose School of South Plano. I have sixteen years of experience in early childhood education. I graduated from the University of North Texas with a BAAS in Early Childhood Education and Business Administration and a Master's in Early Childhood Education and Curriculum Instruction from Concordia University. I continue to work with children due to the personal reward of knowing I help provide the tools they need to succeed in their educational goals.

    I am honored to serve our children and families at Primrose School of South Plano and look forward to educating and providing a safe, healthy environment for our children to learn. I am committed to continuing the vision of Primrose and providing the best and most trusted early childhood education to each of our students at Primrose School of South Plano.

    I am actively involved in community service and live in Rockwall with my husband and four children. I have served on many youth organization boards, including serving two terms as the President of the Education at Our Savior Lutheran Church and currently as the Treasurer for Texas Licensed Child Care Association.
    You can reach me via email at kelly.britton@primrosesouthplano.com.
    I look forward to meeting you and your family!

  • Najiyyah Crayton, Franchise Owner

    Najiyyah Crayton

    Franchise Owner

    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 surrounding Dallas-Fort Worth area.

    I have two sons – Patrick and Preston. I first discovered Primrose when I was searching for high-quality early education and care providers for my son Patrick. After touring a Primrose school, I was blown away by what Primrose offered. From the exclusive Balanced Learning® curriculum to the family atmosphere, I didn’t hesitate to immediately enroll Patrick and later his younger brother Preston. Once open in early 2015, both my sons will attend Primrose School of South Plano’s Explorers afterschool program and summer camps.

    As a working parent, I understand the complexities that come with finding a premier preschool provider that focuses on the social, emotional, intellectual and physical development of children. Not only am I committed to creating a safe and caring environment in my school; but, also, to providing parents with peace of mind knowing their children are in a place where they will grow their Active Minds, Healthy Bodies and Happy Hearts®.

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