Ms Jenn
Hello, my name is Jennifer Tovar, and I am excited to be part of the wonderful Primrose School community!
Originally from Colombia, I earned my bachelor’s degree in international business before discovering my passion for early childhood education. This is my first year at Primrose, but I have been working in early childhood education for two years. I love working with young children, guiding them as they grow, explore, and discover the world around them.
Outside the classroom, I cherish spending time at home with my family, our beloved cats and dog. I enjoy cooking, listening to music, and watching movies with my husband and our daughter. I strongly believe that fostering a connection with animals helps children develop empathy, curiosity, and a sense of responsibility.
My goal is to create a warm, engaging, and nurturing environment where every child feels supported and excited to learn. I look forward to getting to know each of my students and their families and building meaningful relationships with all of you!

Franchise Owners
Kelly & Alan Maria
Hello! We’re the proud owners, Alan and Kelly Maria, of Primrose School of Henderson at Green Valley!
Our Primrose journey began in anticipation of Alan’s retirement from the U.S. Marine Corps. We were searching for opportunities that would allow us to put down roots and build a bright future for our children, while at the same time giving back to our community. With experience ranging from managing a private school’s business office to working in marketing, event management, and development for multiple nonprofits nationwide, Kelly has a diverse professional career. We are thrilled to use our experience and passion for the community to help children foster a lifelong love of learning.
Our personal philosophies center around giving back. Throughout Alan’s military career we have found the most joy and personal fulfillment while volunteering with various organizations. It is through volunteerism that we have been fortunate enough to find community in all the places we’ve lived. When we’re not volunteering, we love the outdoors, camping, hiking, fishing and discovering new and interesting things to do in our town.
At Primrose, we believe who children become is as important as what they know. 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.
We are proud to offer the Primrose experience and can’t wait to welcome you to our Primrose community.
