Mrs. Julie Ambrose
Director

Hello, Windsong Ranch families!

My name is Julie Ambrose, and I am honored to serve as the Director at Primrose School of Windsong Ranch. I joined the Primrose family more than eleven years ago after serving as a Regional Director for a Montessori organization in North Texas for nearly ten years. With well over twenty years of experience in early childhood education, I have dedicated my career to preschool administration, operations, staff development, and family engagement.

I have held a Texas Director Certification since 2009 and am passionate about creating high-quality learning environments where children, families, and educators can thrive. Throughout my career, I have led large preschool programs with a focus on building strong school cultures, developing exceptional teaching teams, increasing enrollment, and fostering meaningful partnerships with families.

My leadership philosophy centers on collaboration, accountability, and support. I believe that when educators feel empowered and valued, they can provide the very best experiences for the children in their care. I am committed to creating a nurturing, engaging, and inspiring environment where every child feels safe, supported, and excited to learn.

I am especially excited to become part of the Prosper community and look forward to building lasting relationships with our families while continuing the tradition of excellence at Primrose School of Windsong Ranch.

When I am not supporting schools and educators, I enjoy spending time with my family, traveling, and finding creative ways to make learning both meaningful and fun for children.

I look forward to getting to know each of you and partnering together to help your children learn, grow, and shine.

Franchise Owner

Benita and Mike Casey

Hello Parents!

We are Benita and Mike Casey, Owners of the Primrose School of Prosper and the Primrose School of Windsong Ranch.

Mike and I routinely get asked, “How did you get involved with Primrose, more specifically childcare?”. When I was a teenager, I would take care of toddlers while moms completed their errands. I loved the playfulness and inquisitive nature of their young minds and even wrote an essay in high school about my desire to own a childcare. I continued to care for young children throughout my college years, developing a realization that working parents needed quality childcare.

Although both of our careers began in traditional business roles, the dream of owning a childcare never faded. In 2007, we began to research the childcare industry and landed with Primrose Schools. We have been involved with Primrose Schools for over 14 years and strongly believe in Primrose Schools’ Vision and Mission. Our sons thrived at Primrose in their educational development and were prepared for elementary school and beyond. However, they also demonstrated other life skills such as respect for others, honesty, and responsibility; skills reinforced daily by our Primrose Friends.

Mike earned his MBA from Texas A&M, and I graduated with an accounting degree from the University of Texas. We have a combined 68 years of professional experience in leadership and operations while delivering exceptional customer service. We bring these tenured skills every day to our schools, teams and families.

As Owners, we are actively involved in the school operations and are on-site daily, interacting with our team, families and children. The children enrolled in our schools are an extension of our family and we love and care for each of them as our own. We embrace an open-door policy and welcome prospective, current, and former families to meet with us anytime. Please stop by to say Hello!

Our family would love to meet yours.
