Welcome to Primrose Schools!
We are Emily and Bryce Durke, proud owners of the Primrose School of Wheat Ridge at Applewood. We are excited to bring high-quality early education and care to families right here in Wheat Ridge and the surrounding communities.
I’m Emily, and I hold a master’s degree in elementary education. For the past fifteen years, I’ve had the joy of teaching—five years in Arizona and ten years in the Cherry Creek School District—where I’ve seen firsthand how the right foundation shapes a child’s confidence, curiosity, and love of learning. That journey led me to Primrose and its research-based Balanced Learning® approach, which blends purposeful play with nurturing guidance to inspire a lifelong love of learning.
Bryce brings a background in construction and business, which has been essential to bringing our vision for this school to life. As parents of young children in Northwest Denver, we understand how important it is to find a place where children feel safe, cared for, and inspired to grow.
We are committed to creating the kind of environment we would want for our own children—warm, welcoming, and filled with meaningful learning experiences. We are honored by the trust families place in us and cannot wait to welcome you into our Primrose family.
Our doors will open early next year, and we truly look forward to meeting you and your little ones soon.
With warm regards,
Emily & Bryce Durke
