Franchise Owner

Tonya and Travis Holt

Travis and Tonya Holt are the proud owners and operators of the Primrose School of Woodbury. A little about them. They have 2 adult children, both Primrose School of Woodbury graduates. They were encouraged to open Primrose School of Woodbury because of a strong passion for children and community. After researching childcare and early learning options while living in Denver Colorado, the Holts stumbled upon Primrose Schools and were so impressed with the level of care, and education provided to the children there. When the Holts moved home to Minnesota in 2004 to be closer family they had a hard time finding a program that compared to, or exceeded the Primrose Schools experience, so they decided to build the Primrose School of Woodbury. The Primrose School was opened in October 2007. Primrose School of Woodbury is filled with with high-quality, highly competent, dedicated early learning educators who provide the nurturing and educational environment that lays the foundation for future success. The Primrose Schools’ outstanding approach to education, the accredited curriculum, enrichment, and character development programs have continued to wow the community. The Holts and Primrose School of Woodbury have enjoyed partnerships with many local and national non-profit organizations, including Save the Children, MN Safe Kids Coalition, Gillette Children’s Hospital, the Cole Foundation, the Woodbury K9 Foundation, the Open Cupboard, and many more. Partnerships with these organizations will be forever valuable in teaching children that no matter how big or small, we all stand to make a difference in the world.

See What Families Are Saying

Primrose has been an important part of our family since our son was 12 weeks old. We have been thrilled with the level of genuine care for our sons wellbeing and interested in his social and emotional development. We absolutely could not ask for a more welcoming and family-feel community. If Primrose went through High School I have no doubt our kids would be in a future graduating class!
We enrolled our daughter to Primrose when she was 8 weeks old. My husband and I have to travel for work so the security of a safe and loving infant room in a daycare is so important to us. We have not been let down at Primrose. We feel our daughter has benefited from the interaction with others and her teachers provide the cuddling, rocking and 1 on 1 care when it is needed. She has also shown great progress with her motor skills as her teachers are constantly doing projects and activities with the infants. We would highly recommend Primrose.
Our son started at Primrose on their Grand Opening. At the time he was attending another school in Woodbury. My wife and I were not thrilled with his current school so we decided to visit Primrose on our way home during one of their open houses. We took the tour, met the owners and teachers and listened to the Primrose philosophy. We signed our son up at Primrose immediately. He graduated from Primrose this past year and was so much more prepared for Kindergarten this year than we could have ever hoped for. We owe that to Primrose and their fantastic teachers, owners and philosophy. Our daughter is currently enrolled at Primrose and we have no hesitation when recommending Primrose to family and friends. My niece will soon be attending Primrose. I wouldn't recommend something as important as child care to anyone without being 100% sure. I can say with 100% confidence that enrolling your child at Primrose will be the best choice for child care you will ever make.
Our son started at Primrose when he was 3 years old. He was staying at home before that and didn't understand many English words back then. Obviously we were concerned and were looking for a caring and loving daycare so he would feel secure and comfortable to stay at. Among the 4 schools we checked out Primrose was the best. We were really glad to see the quick adaptation of our son to a different environment and how he started enjoying the school and making friends. The school curriculum, encouragement of parent involvement in various activities, and personal attention from the teacher make Primrose a great school. We highly recommend Primrose.
When looking for a pre-K school we checked out 6 schools in our area and Primrose's open house was by far the BEST! Teachers were actually there to talk to, had the curriculum laid out, discussed it with us and clearly demonstrated how they were preparing students for kindergarten (not just a play date), the rooms were clean and not overcrowded with stuff.The owners are fantastic people, business owners and child care provider. They treat our family as if we are a part of their family. The owners, directors and teachers are as proud of our kids as we are, always looking out for their safety and wellbeing and making sure our kids have the most fun while learning. They are very responsive with questions whether it's in person, over the phone or via email. This staff keeps me very informed on what is going on in my children's day. When we walk in the building every morning, I can feel the excitement and see enjoyment everywhere. Some of the little things that are important to me that they do: wrist bands with school phone number for the kids when they go on field strips, seat belts on the bus, daily reports, encouragement of parent involvement and personal attention at the end of the day when picking up my child - to ask questions and see how they did throughout the day. I really appreciated the head-ups call alerting me when my child was near fever temp andthatshe may need to go home. This allowed me time to re-schedule meetings at work. I highly recommend Primrose Schools!!
