Welcome to Primrose School of Bel Air!

Like many Americans, we, the proud owners of Primrose, share the dream of becoming successful by working hard and giving back to the community. As our family grew, we started searching for childcare options within our community that provided a good balance of strong curriculum and a nurturing culture. We quickly realized the options were limited and decided to do something about it. Primrose had everything that we were looking for; great culture, perfect curriculum, strong history, and a well-balanced approach. Primrose’s approach to early childcare and education contributes to an enriched learning environment. Each one of us is a parent, and our need to do right by our children is a driving force behind our decisions everyday.

The Primrose School of Bel Air offers a Balanced Learning approach of purposeful play and nurturing guidance from teachers to encourage curiosity, creativity, confidence and compassion.  We deliver more than a curriculum and are privileged by the opportunity to make a positive difference in your family’s lives. 

Primrose School of Bel Air is an independently owned business operated by a dedicated group of individuals who are committed to providing the highest quality of balanced learning for the children in our community.

We look forward to meeting you and welcoming you into our Primrose family!

Primrose School of Bel Air has been such a wonderful experience for our family! As a working mom, one of the hardest things you deal with is leaving your kids each morning. Luckily, my family not only found an amazing staff who cares for and teaches our daughters, but we also found a place with staff that truly feels like family. We have been through the Infant Room to Preschool Room and can honestly say that we have loved every moment. The curriculum is wonderful, the communication is fantastic, the leadership team is excellent, and most importantly the genuine care for my children is everything I had hoped for and more! We are so proud to be a Primrose Family!
Our son attended preschool with Primrose. It has been nothing but a wonderful experience. He has learned so much during his time there and is now well prepared for kindergarten in the fall. We were impressed with all that he has learned and his personal growth while there. The staff is warm, friendly and professional. The teachers and leadership team communicate very well with the parents. The school uses an app (and email) to do this. We loved getting photos of our child throughout the day and updates on what they are doing each day. The school frequently did fun and special activities for the children and periodically fun events after hours to include the whole family. The building and property is kept in immaculate shape and always clean.
Primrose of Bel Air has been our home since it opened. My kids absolutely thrive in this structured but playful environment. All of the teachers and administrative staff are so caring and supportive. Couldn’t ask for a better facility.
I have nothing but amazing things to say about our time at Primrose! Our (almost) 2 year old has been attending since she was about 6 months old. Each and every one of her teachers have gone above and beyond to care for her and teach her new skills. Most importantly, it is so clear that she feels safe and loved at school; she lights up every time she sees one of her teachers or friends. Enrolling our daughter in Primrose was one of the best decisions we have made!
Every staff member is so welcoming, loving, and caring. My daughter loves going to school each day. The facilities and learning environments are outstanding. I know exactly what my daughter is doing each day and receive so many pictures throughout the day. I wouldn’t want my daughter to be anywhere else!
