Franchise Owners
Cory and Tina Folts
Hi, we’re Cory and Tina Folts, a husband and wife team and the proud Franchise Owners of the Primrose School of Georgetown. As parents of two young children who each enjoyed positive experiences while attending Primrose Schools, we understand that a positive early childhood education is a crucial component in a child’s development.
In 2012, shortly after our first daughter was born, we recognized the need for high-quality early education and care in the Georgetown community. Tina opened a home day care but we both knew we wanted to serve more families and give parents in Georgetown peace of mind that their children were safe, happy, and learning each day. Tina had over 10 years of experience in the childcare industry and knew that Primrose Schools offered the best in early childhood education. In 2013 our dream became a reality when we opened the doors to the Primrose School of Georgetown. We have served our community passionately since and look forward to continuing to enhance the lives of the children and families in our community.
We have two beautiful daughters, Kadence and Kampbell (both Primrose graduates), and three dogs. We enjoy traveling, skiing, being outdoors and spending time with family and friends.
We look forward to welcoming your family to the Primrose School of Georgetown, a place of laughter, learning and growth where you’ll have peace of mind knowing your child is loved.
