Primrose School Castle Rock Franchise Owner Kim Barnett

Franchise Owner

Kim Barnett

Hello, I am Kim Barnett, the proud owner of the Primrose School of Castle Rock. I am also honored to be the owner of Primrose School of Lone Tree and three Primrose schools in Atlanta, Georgia: Primrose School at Macland Pointe, Primrose School of Harmony on the Lakes, and Primrose School of East Cobb at Sprayberry.

I was first introduced to Primrose in 2009, and immediately fell in love with the way that Primrose brings the best in educational child care to families and children. This is accomplished through the Balanced Learning® curriculum and a focus on character development and relationships with parents. I understand the importance of working with the leadership team of the school to constantly strive to create the best environment for children. Whether it’s social-emotional development, curriculum, nutrition or a safe environment, every aspect needs to be at its absolute best to help children develop and grow.

Prior to becoming a franchise owner, I was a Primrose teacher and then an executive director at the Primrose School of East Cobb at Sprayberry, which is in a suburb of Atlanta. Having earned a bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education from Georgia Southern University, I have taught all ages from infant to adult and have over thirty years of experience in education and business operations.

“Who children become is just as important as what they know” is a belief that is at the core of the Balanced Learning® approach. The exclusive early learning approach balances purposeful play with nurturing guidance from teachers to encourage curiosity, creativity, confidence, and compassion. We deliver more than a curriculum; it’s a life-changing early learning experience for children and their families.

Our daughter is in the infant program at Primrose Castle Rock and we absolutely love it! It's such a relief knowing that, when I drop her off in the morning, she is happy and excited to see her teachers and friends. Her teacher is amazing, and the staff is so friendly! It's nice that every single time I walk in, they call me by name and know my daughter's name as well! This is so much more than a daycare to us, it's a great start to my baby's learning and socialization! Thank you, Primrose!
The Primrose School of Castle Rock goes the extra mile! One of my first great impressions of the school was that every teacher in the building knew my children's names and take the time to say hello or goodbye. It means a lot when we are treated like family and friends. The Primrose School of Castle Rock's team is also incredibly friendly, professional and helpful. The activities they arrange are amazing and a great way to bring families together. I know how much hard work goes into setting up events like these and it is truly appreciated! Since my two kids have been a part of Primrose, we are watching them flourish, at unprecedented rates. Words can't express what this means to us as parents. One of my favorite parts of my day is to hear about their day at school. They light up as they tell me/show me what they learned. They are both thriving from an educational standpoint, as well as, emotionally and socially. Their behavior has also turned a new leaf and they are much more engaged in making good choices.
Two years ago I began the search for a new daycare center for my then three year old daughter. I contacted three day care centers in Castle Rock. Primrose was the only one that returned my call to schedule a tour. The facility was clean and the staff answered all of our questions. The enrollment process was very easy and after only two weeks at Primrose, I had a different child. The structure Primrose provides is something my daughter desperately needed. The first week when I dropped her off in the morning it was difficult as she was getting used to a new school and new friends. The teachers were fantastic and paid extra attention to her at drop off to assist with the transition. One of the things that still impresses me today is there is always someone from the management team at the front desk in the morning and in the evening. One of my favorite stories is when I came in for pick up one evening and the front office knew me by name and asked how I was doing. How I was doing – no one at the previous daycare ever asked me that! It’s not just about the kids at Primrose, it’s about the entire family. Primrose is a fantastic school from the curriculum and life skills they teach, to the extraordinary staff. The love and care they provide to my daughter is indescribable. I can assure you – if you are in the process of selecting a daycare – Primrose is the right choice. I would choose them all over again if I had to.
