Anne and Hank Emery

Hello, I am Anne Emery. Along with my husband Hank and seasoned Primrose Franchise Owners Lou Ann and Michael McLaughlin, we are the proud Franchise Owners of the new Primrose School of The Westchase District.

As dedicated educators and parents, we are thrilled with the opportunity to bring the Primrose Experience to an urban setting. I have a strong background in education, having earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in early childhood education from Oregon State University. I began my career at Primrose School of Cinco Ranch in 2001. I have since held the titles of Kindergarten Teacher, Director of Curriculum and Instruction and most recently, Director of Operations for seven Houston area Primrose schools and the Primrose School of Midland at Westridge. My husband, Hank, and I have been happily married for 35 years and have two children, Max and Abby.

The McLaughlins are recipients of the prestigious Primrose Schools President’s Award for outstanding achievement, are active participants in the Houston Children’s Fund and are proud grandparents of five grandchildren. Lou Ann holds a Master’s Degree in educational administration from the University of Houston and is a certified preschool director and trainer. We understand the importance of instilling a love of learning during a child’s early years, and we believe this to be essential to building a confident, well-educated generation of bright citizens. Primrose Schools is the Leader in Educational Child Care, and we are committed to delivering the best possible experience when it comes to your child’s education. We look forward to meeting you!
