She passionately stands behind Primrose’s Balanced Learning approach and enjoys not only helping children grow academically but also through character development and life skills. Mrs. Cristina is always available to lend an ear to students, teachers, and parents and is committed to the successes of each child who walks in the door.

Welcome to the Primrose School at Tradition!
My name is Amber Resetar and my husband Doug and I are the proud owners of the Primrose School at Tradition. We, as the blessed parents of two academically inclined teens, are major proponents of superior education. We credit our children's early education experience as to what we so firmly believe laid the foundation for their current and future success, along with their strong confidence and independence. We know the emotion and thought that goes into choosing that early education experience. As working parents (and on top of it, a child with severe food allergies) we know the difficulty of entrusting our children to someone else's care during our workday. We also know the commitment and sacrifice it takes to provide the best opportunity for our children. Through the journey of raising our children, we have learned and aligned with the Primrose belief that who children become is as important as what they know. We continue to be amazed by Primrose's outstanding approach to education, the accredited curriculum, enrichment and character development programs. As our own children grow, we wish to remain connected to education and community through children and families. It only makes sense that we share in bringing the Primrose Experience of premier early childhood education and care to Tradition. After all, as the old African Proverb says…”it takes a village to raise a child.”
Both graduates of Florida Atlantic University, Doug and I are both CPAs. Doug has been a partner at his firm in Palm Beach for over 20 years. I practiced at the same firm for about 8 years before venturing off to nurture my love for family and passion for community. It was at that time a few close neighbors and I, opened and ran a little children's consignment boutique which allowed us to connect and give back to new and growing families throughout our community. I was a part of the administrative team and the Business Manager of my children's school for over 7 years, before getting the wonderful opportunity of partnering with Primrose Schools. We are avid sports fans, very active in youth and high school sports, our community, and our church.
The Treasure Coast is our home and where we chose to raise our children. We believe in quality education, parental involvement and a sense of school family. We are excited to serve our community in this way and provide safe, loving care as well as a strong curriculum. The exclusive Primrose Balanced Learning approach balances purposeful play with nurturing guidance from teachers to encourage curiosity, creativity, confidence and compassion.
We look forward to meeting you and your family!
