Active Minds

Learning is exciting, and your child is eager to learn with a natural curiosity that knows no bounds. Our Balanced Learning® approach provides hands-on learning and teacher guided lessons that help children develop reasoning skills​.
  • Language & Literacy
    Language & Literacy

    The early years are critical for literacy development. From sign language and story time in younger classrooms to phonics and reading and writing practice for the older ones, your child develops important literacy skills and a love of reading.

  • Science, Engineering & Technology
    Science, Engineering & Technology

    Your child was born a scientist, and opportunities for early STEM experiences are all around them. Children love to observe and investigate their world, and all the while, they’re developing skills like observing, analyzing and problem-solving.

  • Mathematics
    Mathematics

    Early experiences with math help children develop foundational concepts like awareness of numbers and connections between them. Our math program introduces numbers, geometry, measurement, data analysis and patterns through hands-on learning.

  • Social Studies
    Social Studies

    Through social studies, your child learns to understand themselves and their relationships with family and friends. They learn how they are alike or different from others and how, as individuals, they can contribute to their community.

A Team Dedicated to Supporting Your Child

At Primrose, your child is the priority. From the morning smile at the front desk to the snacks and meals prepared with love, and the owner of the school to the teachers in the classroom, everyone has the same goal: to help build a brighter future for your child.

Primrose® Students Are Prepared for Kindergarten

We help ensure Primrose students are ready for kindergarten by strengthening the skills they’ll need for this next chapter and beyond. That’s why our Balanced Learning® curriculum features purposeful play and nurturing guidance from teachers. As a result, 97% of Primrose Pre-K students demonstrated kindergarten readiness as of Spring 2024.*

*Study was conducted on a representative sample of Primrose Pre-Kindergarten students across twelve Primrose schools in nine states in the Spring of 2024. The Bracken School Readiness Assessment 4th Edition assesses children’s school readiness in terms of their understanding of concepts that are strongly related to early childhood cognitive and language development as well as early academic achievement.
