Welcome to Primrose School of Stafford at Embrey Mill! We are proud to bring high-quality preschool and childcare to young children and families in the Stafford VA community.
At Primrose, we believe every child has limitless potential, and we want to help them discover their unique strengths in a fun, safe and nurturing environment. As parents of two wonderful daughters, Khailah and Lilydian, we understand how precious each moment with your child is. We bring that same energy, care and love to every child at Primrose School of Stafford at Embrey Mill.
Our passion for community is at the heart of everything we do. We actively collaborate with local businesses, organizations, and families to create meaningful opportunities that support growth, learning, and the well-being of our students and staff. By working together, we’re not just shaping the future of children; we’re making a lasting, positive impact on our local area.
With over 25 years in education and social services, Darlene is passionate about inspiring curiosity and fostering a lifelong love of learning. She holds a Bachelor of Science in Psychology, a Master of Science in Guidance and Counseling and a Doctorate in Health Administration. Beyond her qualifications, she’s committed to helping children grow academically, emotionally, and socially. Robert, a retired Air Force veteran and now a general manager at Microsoft, brings a wealth of leadership experience. He’s passionate about creating environments where children feel valued, supported and empowered to thrive. His leadership ensures that every child has the foundation they need to succeed.
Choosing the right school is one of the most important decisions you’ll make, and we take that responsibility to heart. Our goal is simple: to make sure your child feels safe, loved and encouraged to be their best self every day.
We can’t wait to join you on this exciting journey. We look forward to partnering with you, creating lasting memories, and watching your child flourish. Welcome home to Primrose School of Stafford at Embrey Mill!
