Primrose in the Community
Community matters at Primrose.
At Primrose Schools, we consider a deep sense of community as an important part of character development. That's why we dedicate considerable effort to connecting local schools with the neighboring community. And on a national level, giving back to others is a passion shared throughout our organization while helping children understand generosity continues to be one of our most important initiatives.
The Primrose Children’s Foundation
All schools contribute to the national giving program at least once a year by donating a portion of funds raised through their Spring Fling event. These combined funds make an even greater impact on the lives of young children and families in need. The Foundation has donated nearly $500,000 to organizations that focus on the needs of young children and their families.
Reach Out and Read
This literacy program for at-risk children provides books to pediatric practices such as hospitals and health clinics that serve a large percentage of at-risk children and families. Books are carefully chosen to be developmentally and culturally appropriate for the populations served. Doctors and nurses give a book to a child during each well-child visit, in addition to specific advice to parents about reading with young children and other developmental literacy issues.
Helping Hands
This program includes events that instill in children a desire to give of themselves and to help others. By experiencing the joy of giving, Primrose students discover the warmth of being able to contribute and make a difference in their communities.
For example, our Adopt-A-Grandparent program brings together Primrose students and senior citizens for activities such as holiday parties, reading, exchanging presents, or enjoying a snack together.
