Our Primrose journey began nearly 25 years ago while searching for trusted child care for our children. We’re thrilled to expand our existing ownership of Primrose School of Plano at Deerfield by bringing the Primrose Balanced Learning® approach to East Allen. As lifelong educators, we’re deeply committed to serving students, supporting families and empowering teachers. We believe that high-quality early childhood education is the foundation of a child’s educational journey, and we’re dedicated to ensuring your child’s experience is exceptional.
