Primrose School of North Meridian Franchise Owners

Franchise Owners

Brad & Brenda Shafer

We are the proud owners of Primrose School of North Meridian, Brenda and Brad Shafer.

After being frustrated with limited learning growth at a daycare in KY for our daughter, Primrose was recommended to us. 

From the first moment, we perceived a significant difference.  A personal and friendly greeting by the Director, the cleanliness of the building, seeing happy children and teachers – everything was at a higher level and clearly, centered on the children. 

Our Daughter THRIVED at Primrose!  She was making leaps in her learning, she was excited to go every morning, her teachers were kind and the daily pictures/check-ins through the Procare app created peace of mind and gave us a window into her day. 

Upon learning of a pending move to Boise, we sought a Primrose for her and learned Primrose was not yet in ID.  Recalling Primrose was a franchise, we inquired, learned more about providing a meaningful preschool experience and initiated the process.

Brad has worked in education his entire career and has two degrees in Education.  Brenda conducted the research when seeking care for both of our children and understands key differentiators.  Brad is the on-site owner/operator and Brenda (a former Nurse) will continue her health law practice.  Both Brenda and Brad are military veterans.

We have two children and love family activities such and skiing, games, spending time with Grandparents and daytrips.  We love living in Boise and in Idaho! 

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

Primrose has incredible teachers who care and love on my child when we are at work. My husband and I feel like they are more like teammates as we ensure our daughter is growing up happy, healthy and cared for. Not only are the teachers incredible, the executive staff is just as stellar. Communication and kindness always greet us every drop off and pick up! So thankful for such an awesome facility so close to home in our Treasure Valley community!
We are extremely thankful for Primrose, its amazing staff, and caring teachers. Our 18 month needed an environment where he could learn, play, and thrive. Primrose provides all that and more. After touring different facilities in the area, Primrose was the standout option and we immediately knew it was best for our son. While other places seemed like "just a daycare," we found Primrose to be warm, welcoming, and the staff are friendly and genuine. Our son is excited to go to "school" every morning which makes us confident that we made the right decision for him. Thank you Primrose staff for taking such good care of our son and helping him learn and grow.
We love attending Primrose School of North Meridian! I am so thankful there is a Primrose School in the Treasure Valley! I have two children and both are happy and thriving as students here! My older son (3 years old) wakes up everyday asking to go to school! He loves being there! He is always doing fun art projects, doing flash cards and workbooks, encouraging and instilling a love of learning! As for my 9 month old who is also enrolled here, he is adored and loved, held and rocked all day long. They really do love and care for the babies in a highly nurturing and attentive way that babies need and parents can only hope for by caregivers. What consistently stands out about Primrose of North Meridian is the caring, attentive, energetic and compassionate staff! The teachers are fantastic and really do love your kids like their own! The school is always so clean and tidy! The curriculum is stimulating and appropriate for each age group. And the management are organized, communicative and welcoming every day! It makes drop off each morning stress free knowing my kids are happy and will be very well taken care of while I am at work.
