Center Director

Hi there! ๐ŸŒŸ

My name is Chelsey, and I am the proud Center Director at the Primrose School of Broadview Heights! I joined the Primrose family in 2019, and every day since has been an exciting adventure filled with learning, laughter, and lots of smiles.

Originally from Glouster, I now live in Parma with my wonderful husband and our two amazing children, Kayleigh and Brady. Family means everything to me, and I love bringing that same warm, caring feeling into our school community. ๐Ÿ’›

One of my all-time favorite childrenโ€™s stories is Beauty and the Beast because it shares such a meaningful lesson: true beauty comes from within. I love how the story encourages children to look beyond appearances and discover the kindness, character, and heart inside every person. โœจ

Working with children is truly my passion, and I cannot wait to learn, grow, laugh, and create wonderful memories together with you and your family! ๐Ÿ˜Š

Hi there! ๐ŸŒŸ

My name is Jessica, and I am the Director of Education here at Primrose School of Broadview Heights! I live in Hinckley with my husband and our two children, and I absolutely love being part of a community that helps children learn, grow, and shine every day. ๐Ÿ’›

I have been working in the Early Childhood Education field since 2017 and joined the Primrose family in August 2022. I earned my degree in Early Childhood Education from Malone University, and throughout my career I have had the wonderful opportunity to work with children of all ages โ€” from infants to prekindergarten โ€” while also gaining leadership experience as an Assistant Director.

Some of my favorite childrenโ€™s books are The Very Hungry Caterpillar and Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? by Eric Carle. These stories were special to me when I was growing up, and now I get to share that same joy by reading them with my little girl. ๐Ÿ“šโœจ

Watching children grow, discover new skills, and build confidence during their early learning years is something I am incredibly passionate about. I feel so lucky to be part of such an important stage in their lives, and I look forward to getting to know your family! ๐Ÿ˜Š

I joined the Primrose family in 2021 and have loved being part of such a caring environment ever since! ๐ŸŒˆ

One of my favorite childrenโ€™s books is ๐Ÿ“– I Love You to the Moon and Back ๐ŸŒ™๐Ÿ’• because my mom and grandma used to read it to me all the time. My grandma would always remind me that she loved me โ€œto the moon and back,โ€ so this story holds such a special place in my heart. ๐Ÿ˜Šโœจ

Being around children and teaching them new things is incredibly rewarding to me ๐Ÿ’ก๐ŸŒŸ. I absolutely love seeing the excitement in their eyes when they learn something new or accomplish something for the first time! ๐Ÿ‘ฃ๐Ÿ’•

I am so excited to continue growing with your little ones and cannot wait to get to know you and your family! ๐ŸŒธโœจ

Joe and Christine Kepley

Meet Joe and Chrissy Kepley, proud Franchise Owners of the Primrose School of Broadview Heights. As parents to two children and longtime residents of the Cleveland area, they are thrilled to bring the Primrose Experienceยฎ of premier early childhood education and care to families in the Brecksville and Broadview Heights communities.

The Kepleys first discovered Primrose Schools while searching for child care for their daughters. It was difficult for them to find a healthy, safe and loving environment that also provided a high-quality education experience. After touring a Primrose school and learning more about Primroseโ€™s approach to child care, the Kepleys knew they had found what they were looking for.

โ€œWhen we found Primrose Schools, we were immediately drawn to the quality of care and the community created by the school,โ€ said Chrissy. โ€œWe loved that the Primrose Balanced Learningยฎ approach helps children grow academically, physically, socially and emotionally. Every aspect is designed intentionally, from the curriculum that combines purposeful play with nurturing guidance to the Balanced Menu that helps children develop lifelong healthy habits.โ€

Both Joe and Chrissy are excited to serve local families by opening their Primrose school. Joe grew up in nearby Bath, Ohio, and attended the Max M. Fisher College of Business at The Ohio State University. Chrissy attended the University of Michigan and Case Western Reserve School of Dental Medicine, and completed her dental residency at Northwestern University. Joe and Chrissy met in a coffee shop, and after they married and Chrissy started her own dental practice, the couple knew they would someday embark on owning a business together.

At the Primrose School of Broadview Heights, Joe will manage the day-to-day operations of the school, and Chrissy looks forward to coordinating community engagement events and organizing school events for the children and their families. The Kepleys will also continue to be involved in the Brecksville and Broadview Heights communities.They are involved members of their childrenโ€™s parent and school organizations, while Chrissy is an active member of the Brecksville-Broadview Heights Preschool Mothers’ Club.

Their daughters now Primrose graduates, were the first students enrolled in the after-school Explorer Program at Primrose School of Broadview Heights and will spend many of their summer breaks in the Summer Adventure Club.

โ€œWe discovered Primrose while looking for care for our own children, and I immediately knew it was the perfect fit,โ€ said Joe. โ€œWe are so excited to ease the strain on working parents, and we are committed to building a strong sense of community around our school to support our students and their families.โ€

Our family would love to meet yours.
