Franchise Owner
Matt McCallister
Welcome to the Primrose School at Wiregrass Ranch!
My name is Matt McCallister and I am grateful and honored to be given the opportunity to be the owner of Primrose School at Wiregrass Ranch!
Having previously owned and operated multiple successful Primrose schools with my wife and having 3 children of my own, I know firsthand the passion and commitment of providing excellent early childhood education and care. I want to maintain the highest standards and continue to provide the quality education and care that is expected from Primrose Schools.
As a brief introduction, I am a Florida native that attended the University of Florida for my undergraduate studies (Go Gators!) and earned a Master’s Degree from the University of Central Florida. In my spare time, I enjoy being with my family and playing tennis or pickleball.
With deep roots in the Primrose community and being a proud franchise owner since early 2016, I recognize that high quality early childhood education and care with an emphasis on character development nurtures the foundation for one’s future academic and personal successes. With the innovative research-based curriculum offered by Primrose, I am devoted to bringing the best educational experience to the Wiregrass Ranch community.
