Franchise Owners

Curt and Rachel Van Emon

Welcome! We are the proud owners, Rachel and Curt Van Emon, of Primrose School of Woburn!

In 2014, we opened Primrose School of Burlington, the first Boston-area Primrose School. In 2024 we purchased the Primrose School of Chelmsford. We serve families from many surrounding Middlesex County communities – Woburn, Winchester, Reading, Arlington, Burlington, Bedford, Lexington, Chelmsford, Westward and many others!

Our commitment to excellence in early childhood development has resulted in being one of five preschools in the United States to earn the Cognia’s Early Learning STEM certification, and also earning Primrose’s Rising Star and Franchisee of the Year Regional Award. We are delighted to open a second school and provide much-needed child care for the Woburn community.

We both have a passion for education and sought to be involved within the field after college, Rachel having graduated from Harvard University and Curt having graduated from Ball State University. Prior to 2014, Rachel served as the Director of Education for a 500-employee financial services firm. Rachel is also a member of the 2020 National Gold Medal Champion Masters Synchronized Skating team. As parents of two children, we understand the multitude of factors that are considered when weighing different childcare options and the importance of early education to later success.

We are dedicated to positively impacting children’s lives, so they are ready not only for school but for life. We strive to create partner relationships with every family, align on educational objectives (with Personal Education Plans for each child) and provide parents with the peace of mind knowing they have chosen the highest quality care experience for their children.

The Primrose philosophy – “Who children become is as important as what they know” – is pivotal to our decision to be part of the Primrose family and build a second school. We are proud to be aligned with a brand that is consistently recognized as the leader in educational child care. 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 excited to meet you and your family!

See What Families Are Saying

We are very happy to see Aiden getting used to Primrose. Both teachers – Ms. Lynn and Ms. Huertas are wonderful! They are so responsive and loving. Aiden is getting familiar with them more and more, and started to drink from bottles, which is huge for him!! The food menu looks wonderful, I hope Aiden grows some teeth soon so he can enjoy them soon.
Both girls are doing great! Zella has settled in and loves her new classroom and teachers. I think more kids and more activities has been really good for her and soccer has been a great bonus activity too. Emma is also adjusting well, it's nice that she can still see her old teachers in the morning and we are very happy with her new teachers. Ms. Huertas was Zella's teacher so we are thrilled that she also gets Emma, I think her and Ms. Lynn make a great team, the energy in the classroom is very positive!
Things are going absolutely wonderfully in Room 13. Ms. Craig, Ms. Raad, and Mr. Dyer are doing such a wonderful job. Our daughter loves school so much and has even requested to stay later. At home, she’s been more consistent with her behavior, generally happier and playing “school.” This is something she used to do but stopped when her old school wasn’t very rigorous or consistent. We’re so happy to see her excited about learning again. Thank you so much! You all helped with her transition and we feel it is as fairly seamless.
We are incredibly happy with our daughter's experience at Primrose. Ms. Humphries and Ms. K are such kind, patient, and supportive teachers, and we feel lucky to have her in their care. While in Room 10, our daughter has surpassed her older sister in reading, and is now confidently reading books to us at home!
