Franchise Owner

Beth Deasy

Beth Deasy, owner and operator of Primrose School of Thornton, believes that the greatest wish she can have for children is that they become adults who love who they are and what they do. Helping to develop such self-knowledge and passion for life in young children requires a delicate balance of nurturing and education. At Primrose School of Thornton, our faculty helps children unlock their potential so they may find fulfillment and success in life. We also partner with parents, bringing a sense of balance to families as they nurture, encourage and promote the educational, emotional and psychological readiness of the whole child. Previous to becoming a Primrose School owner, Beth worked at one of the Rocky Mountain region’s largest law firms where she represented some of Colorado’s largest businesses and developers. Having deep seeded roots in the early childhood education arena, she designed, built and operated a large, private preschool in Tucson, Arizona that was quickly recognized as the gold standard’ for private preschool in the state. After learning she was expecting twins, she decided to build a preschool in the Denver area. She continuously heard from business and community leaders that Primrose was the BEST preschool provider in Colorado. After investigating other providers in the area and learning more about the Primrose philosophy of providing premier early childhood education, she agreed that Primrose was her choice, and decided to open the Primrose School of Thornton. Primrose School of Thornton is the culmination of a long term dream of hers. Beth is delighted to be able to offer you the best care and education for your children and is thrilled to be a part of such a dynamic community!

See What Families Are Saying

We found Primrose in Longmont, Colorado when Joey was two years old. We visited many day cares in the area but Primrose was clearly the best. We moved to Thornton, Colorado and our transistion to that Primrose was great! Both experiences have been perfect. Each teacher Joey has had truly cares for him and his development. The curriculum is great and he is learning a lot being there. The class room sizes are small enough to where he is getting more than enough attention. We wish Primrose had classes for 1st -6th so our son could attend longer.
My daughter has been in Primrose for about a year and a half. I can't believe how much she is learning and how well she is doing!! It's hard to leave your kids and I feel she is in a safe, fun environment and is learning EVERYDAY! I have no doubt she will be VERY ready for kindergarten. I have gotten to know the staff and several teachers. I feel the teachers and staff really care about the kids and also try and make the transition of leaving your kids as smooth as possible.
I love Ms. Erica! When my son was transitioning from his preschool class it wasn’t an easy time for him and obviously us the parents. She was phenomenal is pinpointing some of his issues and coming up with tools we could use at home to help us all get through it The photo book she made of him in class to take home and read daily really helped him remember that he did have good times at school and enjoyed not only his classmates but his teachers and learning. She made the difference! Ms. Erica is also always available to answer questions and has an amazing sense of humor which I’m certain her students pick up on as well. Ms. Tiffany and Ms. Brenda have always been very professional and have always made every attempt to accommodate, or at the very least research, any concerns we might have had and responded very quickly. I am a picky parent and I visited many daycares/preschools before choosing Primrose of Thornton, and while we have faced challenging life stages, I have never regretted our choice of entrusting Primrose of Thornton with our son’s care and development. I will miss them and the peace of mind they provide when it is time for us to move on☼
My Daughter is growing and learning at a fast pace; as a toddler she is excited and challenged by the new world she's discovering. Being a part of Primrose, we can see her become more independent with each passing day. She has become more socially adept child who is aware of herself as part of an expanding social circle of relatives, friends and peers at school. We really love to see the "HAPPY-GRAMS" which the Teachers share regularily. Looking forward to a valuable Learning and Development experience for our Toddler at Primrose .
We are so grateful to the staff and teachers at Primrose School in Thornton, CO. Our two young children attended home child care for the majority of their lives. This year, we made the decision to enroll them at Primrose. It is amazing how much the children have learned in such a short period of time. They love going to school, playing and learning. Our son now can count to 100, and consistently surprises me with new things that he has learned. The best part, is how much we have learned as parents about how to raise them to be independent and capable. We absolutely love the facility, staff, and most important the teachers who make the magic happen each and every day. I will continue to be a cheerleader for Primrose! Thank you so much!
