Franchise Owner

Diane and Darren Storkamp

Welcome! Primrose School of Eagan is a locally owned educational childcare and preschool provider. Our passion and commitment is to provide best in class childcare, bringing the Cognia accredited Primrose School educational curriculum to the community of Eagan. Primrose School of Eagan is a family owned business with Diane Storkamp as onsite owner.

As working parents, childcare has been a part of our daily lives since 2002. Darren and I shared the frustration of finding nurturing, happy and growing environments for our children, alongside the continued challenge of balancing the rewards and demands of career and family. It was with the discovery of Primrose School that we learned the value of the people-first principles behind the Primrose School childcare model. This is a business where we share the same passion and objectives for high quality educational childcare as the community around us.

We are committed to offering the highest quality early childhood environment and experience. We realize the decisions made as parents are often emotional and challenging, and our hope is we can partner with you on the important decisions around your childcare options. It is our objective to offer families the peace of mind knowing that your children will experience the best in class educational childcare experience, each and every day.

The Primrose School character development and curriculum-based offerings distinguish Primrose School from other childcare and preschool providers. We have seen first hand what the Primrose School experience has meant for our children, and we are confident the foundation of learning and character development disciplines at Primrose School can make a positive difference in your life as well.

We are excited for you to experience the Primrose School of Eagan difference and we are looking forward to meeting you.

See What Families Are Saying

Our son started at Primrose Eagan in Pre-K classroom. We transferred from a different childcare center and couldn’t be happier about our decision to change schools. We have seen him absolutely thrive at Primrose. His amazing teachers and other staff have sparked his interest in learning and the improvements he has made academically and socially have been amazing. We feel he is more than ready to take this next step in to Kindergarten and we have Primrose to thank for that.
Our children have attended Primrose School of Eagan from the young infant room through the kindergarten program. The quality is well worth the price. The teachers are kind, knowledgeable, & trustworthy. The management is ethical, organized, & consistent. The educational programming is clearly communicated and has enhanced our children’s developmental growth, making them well prepared for elementary school. We are greeted by name whenever we arrive to the school and can see that the staff know our children as individuals, not as a number in a classroom. Most importantly our children enjoy going to school and we feel safe when they are there. We are incredibly pleased with our experience at the school and highly recommend to anyone.
I recently returned to work full-time after being a stay-at-home to our three little girls for the past four years. It has been a difficult transition for everyone in our family, but Primrose School of Eagan has been there every step of the way helping to make things easier for all of us. We have been very impressed with the school and particularly the professionalism of the owner and management team since our first tour, and continue to be amazed by the unbelievably high and individualized level of service they deliver each and every day. Before the girls' first day the owner held a "parents' orientation" for us that lasted nearly two hours. We expected to receive lots of information specific to the school, and while she shared a lot of useful details with us the majority of the time was spent getting to know our girls as individuals: their likes, dislikes, comforts, fears, eating habits, napping habits, personalities, etc. All of this information was then relayed and subsequently used by the teachers as they worked to establish strong relationships with our girls. The management team and teachers continue to amaze us at how smoothly and seamlessly they handle everything we throw their direction. We couldn't be happier with our decision to enroll the girls at Primrose School of Eagan.
Primrose School of Eagan has been a part of our family for the last 11 years. Our two kids both started as infants and stayed through kindergarten. Our family remains forever grateful for the outstanding care, education and friendships made at Primrose. During our time at Primrose, our kids received the best care and education. As both moved on to primary school, they were already a step ahead with the education they received at Primrose. Diane, Mandy, Annie and all the teachers like Ms. Simms and Ms. Miller made our experience exceptional. I can't thank them enough and we were sad to say goodbye! We love our Primrose family.
Primrose School of Eagan has been one of the best decisions we've made as parents. We enrolled shortly after they opened, which was a few weeks before our daughter turned one. She started in the older infant room and then to the toddler room and now she is in early preschool. It's been fun watching her and her classmates grow. I also have peace-of-mind and don't have to choose between my daughters’ well-being and working. Primrose teaches her more than I ever could! She was singing the alphabet well before she was two-years old. She is happy and well-cared for and loves going to school. The owners, management, teaching staff and chef at Primrose are all second to none. I literally could not ask for better people to take care of my child. Her social, emotional, physical and nutritional needs are met everyday and we couldn't be happier about it. I am so thankful that we found Primrose.
