My children have a strong sense of belonging at Primrose. This year, my son has had two exceptional teachers, Ms. Shelby and Ms. Rachel, who have helped him learn to manage his own emotions and be a positive member of his community. They have built such a warm and loving culture in his classroom, which is evident even in just a few minutes at drop off and pickup. My son hugs all his friends good-bye, and when someone is sad at drop off, multiple children come with a real suggestion to help engage the sad child in play and begin their day. It warms my heart every day.
Our Preschool Pathways Classroom
Our Preschool Pathways program provides a “bridge” between our Early Preschool and Preschool classrooms for children whose birthdays will ultimately miss the cutoff date for kindergarten entrance. By identifying those children early, we can help them stay with a consistent group of peers through preschool, pre-K and kindergarten.
Nurturing Active Minds, Healthy Bodies, and Happy Hearts®
Active Minds
Learning is exciting. It’s a chance to unleash curiosity and discover new things. Our Balanced Learning® approach is designed to tap into children's natural desire to learn by combining purposeful play and nurturing guidance from teachers.
- Language & LiteracyLanguage & Literacy
Throughout each day in Preschool Pathways, your child builds vocabulary while engaging in meaningful discussions and conversations with adults and peers. You may notice your child using new vocabulary words learned during read-alouds, hands-on explorations and daily literacy experiences.
- Science, Engineering & TechnologyScience, Engineering & Technology
Your child is a natural scientist with a curiosity that knows no bounds. Every day, teachers will nurture that curiosity by encouraging questions and guiding your child as they investigate and make new discoveries about the world.
- MathematicsMathematics
Your child explores mathematical and spatial concepts like comparing and sorting objects, building block structures and creating patterns. We help extend this learning into your home by sharing engaging math activities with you that showcase what your child is learning at school.
- Social StudiesSocial Studies
Primrose Friends puppets reinforce specific character traits through age-appropriate discussions, story-telling and role-playing. Your child is learning about the people in their immediate surroundings and how to interact kindly with others.

- Balanced Menus: NutritionBalanced Menus: Nutrition
When your child has lunch and snacks with their friends and teachers, it’s an opportunity for more than eating tasty, nutritious food. Teachers talk about the foods they are enjoying and why nutrition is important, and seeing their friends eating a new food makes it more likely that your child will give it a try!
Happy Hearts
Primrose school teachers weave character development and life skills opportunities in throughout every day so children can develop important social skills — like sharing, cooperation and making decisions.

We believe who children become is as important as what they know. That’s why Preschool Pathways teachers use books, music, activities and more to help your child understand concepts like sharing, kindness and generosity.
