Hello, I am Kim Barnett, the proud owner of Primrose School at Macland Pointe.
I was first introduced to Primrose in 2009, and immediately fell in love with the way that Primrose brings the best in educational child care to families and children; through a curriculum and focus on character development and partnerships formed with parents. I understand the importance of working with the staff and the families to constantly strive to create the best environment for children. Whether its social emotional development, curriculum, nutrition or a safe environment, every aspect needs to be at its absolute best in order to help children develop and grow.
Prior to becoming a franchise owner, I was a Primrose teacher. I joined Primrose School of East Cobb at Sprayberry in 2009 as a Kindergarten teacher, before becoming the school’s executive director. Having earned a bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education from Georgia Southern University, I have taught all ages from infant to adult and have over thirty years of experience in a career crossing education and business operations.I am committed to helping teachers of young children provide a positive, nurturing environment where children can develop a natural love of learning.
“Who children become is as important as what they know” is a belief that is at the core of our Balanced Learning® approach. Our exclusive early learning approach balances purposeful play with nurturing guidance from teachers to encourage curiosity, creativity, confidence, and compassion. We deliver more than a curriculum; it’s a life-changing early learning experience for children and their families.
Yes. Every Primrose staff member undergoes a thorough background check before joining our school. All staff are also CPR and first–aid certified, so you can feel confident your child is in safe, prepared hands every day.
Our school uses the proprietary Primrose Schools Balanced Learning® curriculum, which is research-informed and designed to nurture the whole child — intellectually, socially, emotionally and physically. We believe in balancing teacher-guided learning with purposeful play to build a strong foundation for the future.
All of our programs are designed in age-appropriate ways to prepare children for kindergarten and beyond. We focus on early literacy and numeracy as well as social-emotional skill development — so children arrive at kindergarten confident and ready to thrive. 96% of Primrose Schools Pre-K students met ASQ benchmarks for problem solving.*
We are open Monday through Friday from 7:00 am-6:00 pm.
Connecting school to home is one of the ways we help children thrive. We use the Procare app to share daily updates and photos so you stay connected to your child’s joy, learning and special moments
To keep families connected throughout the day, we utilize the Procare app, which provides real-time updates about your child’s daily experiences.
Through Procare, families can receive updates on meals, bottle feedings, diaper changes, photos, and classroom activities, along with highlights of the curriculum and learning experiences taking place throughout the day. This allows families to stay connected and see how their child is learning, growing, and engaging with their classroom community.
Procare also offers convenient two-way messaging, allowing families to communicate directly with their child’s teachers and school leadership team. Whether you have a question, need to share important information, or simply want to check in, our goal is to keep communication accessible, timely, and consistent.
We believe families are essential partners in supporting each child’s growth and development. Our teachers use a combination of ongoing classroom observations, Primrose’s Balanced Assessment approach, and third-party Ages & Stages Questionnaires (ASQ) to monitor developmental progress and identify opportunities to support each child’s individual learning needs throughout the year.
For our Pre-K students, we also administer the STAR Early Literacy assessment three times per year to evaluate foundational literacy skills and monitor kindergarten readiness.
Families have dedicated opportunities to connect with their child’s teacher through formal parent-teacher conferences in both the fall and spring. These conferences provide an opportunity to discuss developmental milestones, classroom progress, individual strengths, and areas where additional support or enrichment may be beneficial.
All staff members participate in ongoing training and professional development throughout the year, including state-required training and Primrose-specific professional development designed to strengthen teaching practices and support the implementation of the Balanced Learning® curriculum.
Training opportunities focus on a variety of topics, including child development, health and safety, classroom management, and developmentally appropriate teaching strategies.
Additionally, all staff members maintain current CPR and First Aid certifications to ensure they are prepared to respond appropriately in the event of a medical emergency.
Absolutely! We believe family involvement is an important part of creating a strong, connected school community. Throughout the year, we host a variety of school-wide events, celebrations, and special activities that families are invited to attend and enjoy alongside their children.
These events provide opportunities for families to engage in their child’s school experience, connect with teachers and other families, and create meaningful memories together. We love welcoming our families into the school community and creating opportunities to celebrate the many milestones and special moments throughout the year!
The safety and security of our children, families, and staff are always a top priority. Our school utilizes ButterflyMX, a secure building access control system, to manage and monitor entry into the building.
Each authorized staff member and family receives individualized access credentials through the ButterflyMX mobile app or a unique PIN code. The system records and logs building entry activity, including the date, time, and a photo associated with each entry, providing an additional layer of accountability and visibility into who accesses the building.
Additionally, school leadership can remotely monitor and manage building access, providing the ability to oversee entry activity and maintain greater control over who is permitted to enter the facility.
Our school has a full-time, on-site chef who prepares fresh meals and snacks for students each day.
We work closely with families to identify and accommodate food allergies and dietary restrictions. Children with documented allergies or dietary needs are provided alternative meal and snack options that meet the same required meal components and nutritional guidelines as the standard menu.
Our staff routinely clean and sanitize classroom toys, learning materials, high-touch surfaces, and shared spaces throughout the day to help maintain a healthy environment.
In addition to our ongoing daily cleaning practices, a professional cleaning company visits the school each evening to complete a more thorough cleaning of all classrooms and common areas. This additional level of cleaning helps ensure our school is fresh, clean, and ready to welcome children and families each morning.
To help children get the most out of their daily learning experiences, we encourage families to arrive by 8:30 a.m., when our morning circle time begins. Arriving on time allows children to participate in the full morning routine and classroom activities without missing important learning opportunities.
For afternoon pick-up, we encourage families to arrive after 3:00 p.m. to help minimize disruptions during scheduled nap and rest time.
While we don’t currently offer any financial assistance or scholarships, we do offer a 20% sibling discount to the older student’s tuition.
Uniforms are required for all Preschool and Pre-K students Monday through Thursday during the school year. Fridays are designated as free dress days, allowing children to enjoy a more relaxed dress code.
