Primrose School of Barker Cypress Director Elizabeth Stafford said the early education school is celebrating 25 years serving the Cypress area throughout the summer.
“We have families that refer to [Primrose] as their happy place, because it's their second home, it's their second family,” Stafford said. “We are educating the children, and that's of course one of our top priorities, but also creating that safe environment for the children and their families.”
The details
With its official anniversary held on Aug. 27, Primrose School of Barker Cypress is holding its first celebration on July 2 with its annual red, white and blue parade featuring several activities for students. On Aug. 27 Primrose School of Barker Cypress plans to hold a school party for current students featuring sweet treats and activities.
As the fall semester approaches, Stafford said anyone interested in the school can schedule a tour on the website.
The impact
Founded in August 2001, Stafford said Primrose School of Barker Cypress started with one building and 10 classes offered for children from infants to 5th grade. In 2008 the school expanded with an additional building and 5 additional classrooms.
“We've had lots of families and children come through here. We've been around so long that we now have teachers that were students here that graduated here, and have come back to continue what they loved about Primrose,” Stafford said.
What else?
Along with second generations of children returning to Primrose with their children, Stafford said over the years the school has supported several local charities including Cypress Assistance Ministry.
Stafford said Primrose was awarded the President's Award twice. The award is a recognition program that honors graduating elementary, middle, and high school students for their academic achievement. Most recently in 2024, Primrose was awarded the Cognia award, recognizing the school's excellence in education.
