Karen Clevenger
Ms. Karen Clevenger opened the second Primrose School in the Houston area in December 1998 as the School Director at Primrose School of Champions. In August 2001, Primrose School of Barker Cypress opened and she became the Area Director. Both schools were the proud recipients of the Primrose President’s Award for Excellence in 2003 and again 2009.
Primrose School of Champions was sold in 2016 and work began on opening a new school in the Cypress area. Primrose School of Bridgeland opened in May 2019 and Karen continues as the Area Director for both Primrose Barker Cypress and Primrose Bridgeland.
Ms. Clevenger has an Education Degree from the University of West Florida, but also has work experience in management and banking, which gives her a great balance managing the schools. She has two children who worked at Primrose while high school students and feels that it was a good “life” experience for both of them.
Georgia Snyder
Ms. Georgia Snyder has been employed with Primrose Schools since August 2001, first as the Assistant Director at Primrose School of Barker Cypress, and then beginning 2007 as the School Director. In 2019, Georgia moved to our newest school – Primrose School of Bridgeland as the School Director. With more than 20 years of child care experience Georgia does an amazing job leading the school!
Megan Duhon
Ms. Megan Duhon has been employed at Primrose School since 1999, first at Primrose School of Champions while in high school, and later from 2004 to 2019 at Primrose School of Barker Cypress. Megan first began working at Primrose School of Barker Cypress as a classroom teacher and in 2009 moved to the Leadership Team as an Administrative Assistant. When Primrose School of Bridgeland opened in 2019 Megan joined the Leadership Team and became the School Assistant Director. With more than 20 years of childcare experience, Megan has a strong connection to the staff, children and parents!
Ivette Leal De Romero
Ms. Ivette Leal De Romero has been employed by Primrose Schools since 1999, first as a teacher at Primrose School of Champions, and then beginning 2001, as both teacher and curriculum coordinator. Beginning in 2007, Ivette left the classroom and worked as the Curriculum Director for both Primrose School of Champions and Primrose School of Barker Cypress. With our newest school opening in 2019, Ivette now serves as Curriculum Director for Primrose School of Barker Cypress and Primrose School of Bridgeland. Ivette earned a Bachelors degree in Education in Venezuela and taught at a private school before coming to the United States. We are fortunate to have such a strong academic leader and trainer at Primrose School of Bridgeland!
Franchise Owners
Jim and Susan Tanner
Welcome to Primrose School of Bridgeland and thank you for your interest in our school. We are Jim and Susan Tanner, the proud owners of Primrose School of Bridgeland and Primrose School of Barker Cypress. After 25 years as a Senior Executive in the Refining and Marketing Business, we decided it was time for a career change, and began searching for a career that required less travel, one that we would be able to share, and most importantly, an opportunity to provide a valuable service to the community.
In 2004, we discovered Primrose Schools and knew from experience in searching for quality care for our children Jake and Lily, that Primrose was unique in that it offered parents both an educational preschool environment and excellent child care services for working parents. The Cypress area is known for quality schools and we knew Primrose was the right fit for the community.
We, along with our tenured Leadership Team, are honored to be two-time recipients of the Primrose President’s Award for school excellence. In 2016, we also received the Primrose Children’s Foundation Platinum Sponsor Award for our Spring Fling fund-raising activities to benefit children’s charities. We were thrilled that funds raised by our school staff and families benefited Save the Children on a national level and CAM – Cypress Assistance Ministries on a local level.
“Who children become is as important as what they know” is a belief that is at the core of our Primrose Balanced Learning approach. Our 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.
After being part of the Primrose family for 20 years, we enjoy seeing and hearing the success of children who have experienced the foundation that a Primrose education provides. Many of our families have grown children and are still in touch with us. It is very rewarding to hear from parents that they attribute part of their child’s success to our Primrose School.
We invite you to visit our school to learn more about the Primrose experience and look forward to meeting you and your family!
