Franchise Owners

Collette and Nosa Akhimiona

Welcome to the Primrose School of Midtown Oklahoma City! We are Collette and Nosa Akhimiona, the proud owners and operators. We are dedicated parents to two amazing boys, Paul and Uyi, who were fortunate to learn and grow in the Primrose school system and we love our beautiful community of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. We became enthralled with the teaching method, unmatched curriculum, and dedication to developing each child emotionally and cognitively after our boys were enrolled as toddlers. Our experience at Primrose, alongside our shared passion for education and desire to bring the Primrose experience to more families motivated us to open a Primrose school. We are the proud owners of Primrose Schools of Norman and Midtown Oklahoma City. We understand the importance of instilling a love for learning during a child’s early years as we believe this is essential for building a new generation of bright citizens.

Before operating a Primrose School, we both spent time in  the health care and oil and gas industries respectively. Collette practiced medicine as a nephrologist, having attended the prestigious Emory University in Atlanta and then completing her residency in internal medicine and fellowship  in nephrology at Drexel University and Houston Methodist Hospital respectively. Nosa on the other hand enjoyed a career as a Petroleum Engineer with ExxonMobil after graduating from the University of Oklahoma. Go Sooners! Following his time at Exxon, he held senior management positions at Noble Energy. When away from the excitement of operating Primrose, we both love reading, cycling, golfing, basketball, and college football.

We believe that who children become is impacted by what they know, thus, encouraging a culture of learning is at the core of our Balanced Learning® curriculum. Our exclusive early learning approach balances purposeful play with nurturing guidance from teachers, which in turn  encourages curiosity, creativity, confidence, and compassion. We deliver more than a curriculum; a Primrose education is a life-changing early learning experience for children and their families.

Operating a Primrose franchise is fundamental in helping us give back to our community, and we are certain that the Primrose concept delivers on peace of mind in the search for a childcare provider that nurtures and lays a foundation for a robust education.

We are so  excited to nurture your children and look forward to welcoming you to our Primrose of Midtown Oklahoma City family!

See What Families Are Saying

I love how the director as well as her teachers make my daughter feel so loved and cared for. Other teachers who aren't even with her all day also seem to know and care for her deeply. She never wants to leave at the end of the day. I had so many reservations when I initially enrolled her as it was a brand-new facility, but it has been the best decision we could have ever made!
I had heard many wonderful things about Primrose schools and when we decided to enroll our daughter in school we knew where exactly we wanted her to go. I called the school to schedule an appointment for more information and the director was so helpful explaining everything to us. I can say that they make you feel welcome, and the teachers are amazing everyone greet you with a smile. My daughter has speech delay and we were amazed because on her first week she came home with new words, and she continues to learn so much more.
The staff & teachers are absolutely amazing so sweet & understanding with the kids. Always great at communicating with parents about any concerns & questions we as parents may have.
