“Children do not care how much you know, until they know you care.” Teddy Roosevelt

 

I cannot recall a time in my life when I did not care for children. As early as my teen years I was taking care of the neighborhood children and planning to be a school teacher. As it turned out I found myself a stay at home mom with three pre-school children. In an attempt to find sanity in my life I discovered a Kids Day Out child care program where I could work part time and my children would receive the social interaction we all desperately needed. It did not take long for me to fall in love with my first classroom of four-year-old eager minds. I’d like to say I was a natural, but truthfully, I wish I knew then what I’ve learned over the past twenty five years about Early Childhood Education. My early classrooms benefited from a teacher who deeply cared for them, and that heart paired with the Primrose Balanced Learning Approach, created a perfect blend of personal and professional enjoyment. I am truly honored to bring my passion, knowledge, and experience to both Primrose School of Schertz and Primrose School at Bulverde Road. Over the years, I have had the pleasure of teaching in the classroom for almost every age group. I enjoyed four years working with Child Care Licensing to ensure the safety of children in childcare. I worked under a Head Start grant and supervised up to ten locations and six directors. I enjoyed working under the Texas Rising Star grant as a mentor to twelve facilities where I coached teachers and advised directors. In addition to completing a Bachelor of Science in Occupational Education with a specialty in Social Sciences at Wayland Baptist University, I have been a Child Care Health Consultant, Texas Trainer, and CLASS observer. I was the Director at Primrose School of Schertz since their conception in 2016 and moved into the Executive Director role in 2023 for our Schertz and Bulverde Road locations.  I bring my experience in the childcare field, many years in leadership, twenty five years of parenting and the same care and passion I’ve always held for children and education. We know learning begins from day one of life which is why we will give your infant to school age child an enriching learning environment for them to wonder, discover and explore their world alongside a caring teacher who will guide them to reach beyond their imagination. My goal is to ensure our schools deliver the wow for each of our families.

 

I hope to meet you soon,

My journey with Primrose School of Schertz began in 2019 as the School Age teacher. In 2020,  I was suddenly tasked with managing a classroom full of children from Kinder- 4th grade, attending various schools, as we all learned to navigate a brand new virtual school day.  Professionally, this was a challenge but I welcomed the opportunity. Shortly after, I was promoted to a newly created administrative assistant position to help with all the new demands during the pandemic.  Primrose has been a wonderful place to grow professionally and for my son to get the best possible education and care.  My passion has grown and inspired me to continue my studies toward a degree in Early Childhood Education. In 2023, I accepted the role of Communication Manager and have enjoyed developing and improving our parent communication and discovering new programs to partner with as part of our mission to serve our community.  In 2024 I accepted the position as Assistant Director with Primrose School at Bulverde Road, and was promoted to the Director role in 2025. It is a pleasure to be the first to greet our parents and children each day and my goal is to connect with every adult and child with warmth and sincerity.

I started my Primrose journey in 2021 as a Preschool Teacher in  Dallas, where I married my high school sweetheart. We moved to San Antonio in 2022, and I transferred to Primrose School at Bulverde Road. I worked proudly as a Preschool Teacher until I had my beautiful baby girl, who now attends Primrose in the toddler classroom. I returned to the role of Administrative Assistant and welcomed our second baby girl to our Family who is now in the infant room. In 2025 I accepted the role of Assistant Director and  I’m thrilled to support our teachers and your family every step of the way.

Franchise Owner

Lawrence & Natalie O'Connor

Welcome to Primrose Schools! We are Natalie and Lawrence O’Connor, owners of Primrose School at Bulverde Road and Primrose School of Schertz. We were first introduced to Primrose through our good friends Tommy and Anna Thompson, who have owned several Primrose schools in the Austin area. When we moved to San Antonio in 2014, we discovered there was a need for high-quality early education in the San Antonio area and decided to open a Primrose of our own. We both come from families of educators and we know how important education is, especially for young children. We were also trying to start our own family, and envisioned creating a school where our future children could learn and grow. We opened Primrose School of Schertz in July 2017, and are so grateful to now have 2 children attending our school.  When the opportunity arose to purchase Primrose School of Bulverde, we jumped at the chance to grow our Primrose family.

Prior to becoming full-time Primrose Franchise Owners, we have both enjoyed successful careers in the corporate world.  Natalie was a director with Workforce Solutions Alamo, a state and federally funded organization that helps people find jobs and administers training and support services to job seekers so that they can obtain and maintain employment, and Lawrence was a commercial real estate broker and partner at HPI Real Estate Services and Investments, leading the company’s San Antonio office.

With Natalie’s expertise in management, quality control and operations, and Lawrence’s sales, real estate and business development background, we believe we are an ideal match to achieve success within the Primrose Schools family. We have always had a love of learning, one of the things that drew us to each other. We both graduated in the top 5 percent of our high school classes and both completed the prestigious Plan II Honors Degree at The University of Texas at Austin.

San Antonio is now home, and we take great pride in bringing an exceptional academic program to our community. It is our mission to always provide a supportive and positive experience to our children, parents, and staff to ensure that our children are receiving the care that they need to grow, learn and thrive.

We look forward to meeting you and your family!

Primrose School at Bulverde Road offers the Primrose exclusive, research-based Balanced Learning® curriculum that balances purposeful play with nurturing guidance from teachers for children ages 6 weeks old to 5 years old.
