Franchise Owner

Kim Barnett

Hello, I am Kim Barnett, the proud owner of Primrose School of Harmony on the Lakes.

I was first introduced to Primrose in 2009, and immediately fell in love with the way that Primrose brings the best in educational child care to families and children; through a curriculum and focus on character development and partnerships formed with parents. I understand the importance of working with the staff and the families to constantly strive to create the best environment for children. Whether its social emotional development, curriculum, nutrition or a safe environment, every aspect needs to be at its absolute best in order to help children develop and grow.

Prior to becoming a franchise owner, I was a Primrose teacher. I joined Primrose School of East Cobb at Sprayberry in 2009 as a Kindergarten teacher, before becoming the school’s executive director. Having earned a bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education from Georgia Southern University, I have taught all ages from infant to adult and have over thirty years of experience in a career crossing education and business operations. I am committed to helping teachers of young children provide a positive, nurturing environment where children can develop a natural love of learning.

“Who children become is as important as what they know” is a belief that is at the core of our Balanced Learning® approach. 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.

I am excited to meet you and your family!

See What Families Are Saying

We cannot express how happy we are to have joined the Primrose family. After having a not so great experience with a different childcare organization and our infant son, we wanted to keep him home in private care but decided to give Primrose a chance. The staff and leadership team here have not failed to disappoint - everyone genuinely operates as a team. They patiently listened to and addressed every concern we had prior to enrolling. This is truly childcare, not babysitting. Our now 8 month old, learns so much everyday - we are so impressed by the curriculum and level of attention and detail that goes into nurturing our boy while he's in their care. The cherry on top: since we've been at Primrose Harmony, he hasn't come home sick! We went from viruses constantly circulating our household for months to finally staying and remaining in the clear, during the coldest parts of winter - this would have been impossible without the cleanliness that goes into the facility. Toys are sanitized and rotated daily, the whole nine. The communication is superb - his teachers give a detailed report everyday at pickup (in addition to the notes we receive throughout the day). Based on their comments and observations it's obvious that this is more than just a job - they are invested in our son's wellbeing. More than anything, our boy is excited to go to "school" and he loves his teachers as much as we do, probably more. At drop off every morning, my heart smiles because he is giddy and eager, practically jumping out of my arms to jump into the fun. We are proud to be pals of Primrose Harmony.
We are very pleased parents of Primrose. Our greatest satisfaction has been with the wonderful teachers our son has had over the last three years. They have been incredibly loving, attentive, and skilled. They have gone above and beyond many times for all of the children in their classes. We have recommended Primrose to others and feel that it has been a wonderful building block to our son's early education.
We were able to start our now 3-year old daughter at Primrose Harmony on the Lakes back in 2022 and have absolutely loved it ever since! From week one, the front office staff has known my daughter’s name and always exchange pleasantries and wave to her as we’re coming or going. Her teachers are very engaged, and I love receiving detailed schedules and pictures of what she’s up to every day. She truly loves it there, which is such a relief to my husband and I. Every morning we tell her that it’s time to go to school and see her friends, and she does her little happy squeal. You always want to feel good about where you’re sending your child while you’re at work, and Primrose definitely gives us that!
We absolutely love Primrose of Harmony on the Lakes. My son’s teachers are amazing and everyone is very friendly. He is learning so much and having fun at the same time. We highly recommend!
The structure, the love, the kindness, the follow up, the advancement academically and emotionally- we love it all. The teachers and staff are high class and high energy full of both love and guidance. Capable and willing to meet the littles where they are and guide them. Really happy about every minute our babies are here!
