Innovative Leadership

You can be sure that our  purposeful curriculum for infant care and early education has passed  through many levels of scrutiny from our expert education panel and  esteemed advisory board. Our focus is always on what will best serve the  needs of Primrose children and families with an eye on innovation and  advocacy for quality early education for all children.

We not only nurture collaboration, we model it.

Working together toward a  common goal is something we practice every day at Primrose Schools. We  foster meaningful relationships with families, school staff and the  community to help optimize each child’s learning and growth. We call it 360 Parenting^® for Children.

360 Parenting^®

Safety and  security are top priorities for you, and they are for us too. We  implement a consistent Safe School Plan at every Primrose School to keep  children safe and parents well-informed in the event of an emergency.

Our new Primrose 360Connect^™ email delivers daily peace of mind and engagement in your child’s  learning experience. As a Primrose parent, you’ll receive an update on  your child’s activities, naps, meals and milestones. We also post photos  so you can see what a great day your child is having. 

Primrose Promise: Forging a Path That Leads to a Brighter Future for All Children

For more than 30 years,  Primrose Schools has partnered with parents, children, staff and the  communities we serve to make a difference in the lives of children. We  believe that every child represents the promise of a better tomorrow and  we are committed to making a difference for all of America’s  children—especially those at greatest risk. We call this the Primrose Promise^™.
