Our Philanthropy and Advocacy

We believe that every child represents the promise of a better tomorrow.

For more than 40 years, Primrose Schools® has partnered with parents, children, staff and the communities we serve to make a difference in many young lives, especially those children and families who are underserved. We call this the Primrose Promise℠.

Philanthropy for All Children

Primrose Schools Children's Foundation®

The Primrose Schools Children’s Foundation®, the charitable arm of Primrose Schools, is a not-for-profit organization that combines funding from Primrose schools and our national support center in order to make a national impact locally, regionally and nationally. Focused on early childhood education and care, the Primrose Schools Children’s Foundation has contributed more than $5 million to national charities and child-focused organizations.

Philanthropy in Schools

Primrose Promise Giving Events help students learn firsthand the joy of giving back and helping others through simple projects throughout the year.

Research and Innovation

Research shows that children’s experiences in the first five years play a significant role in overall health, confidence and success later in life. Unfortunately, more than 50% of U.S. families live in a child care desert, meaning they do not have sufficient access to providers. Through a variety of efforts, Primrose Schools is working to bring high-quality early education and care to more families.

Our Advocacy Work

As a pioneer in early education and care, Primrose Schools and its leadership are sought after by decision-makers in the child care industry and beyond for their advocacy and expertise. Through strategic efforts and partnerships, Primrose Schools influences local, state and federal legislation to advocate for expanding access to high-quality early education and care as we forge a path that leads to a brighter future for all children.
