Our Vision

To deliver the best and most trusted early education and care for children and families across America.

Active Minds, Healthy Bodies, and Happy Hearts®

At Primrose Schools, we believe that who children become is as important as what they know. For almost 40 years, our approach to teaching and learning has remained true to the Primrose core belief of nurturing balance among mind body and heart. All elements of the Balanced Learning® approach are intentionally woven together in engaging, challenging and varied learning experiences throughout every day. These experiences are designed to stimulate children’s intellectual, creative, physical and social-emotional growth for Active Minds, Healthy Bodies, and Happy Hearts®.

Our Approach to Belongingness

Through learning experiences, classroom materials and our involved community of families, we foster a sense of belongingness, creating and maintaining an environment where children’s similarities and differences are nurtured and respected every day.

Belongingness at Primrose

One of the strongest threads within our curriculum is the element of belongingness, where children learn from an early age that everyone belongs at Primrose. Everyone is important, respected and valued. In our classrooms, this comes to life in several significant ways.

Diverse representation in classroom materials

To truly feel like a part of the classroom community, it is very important that children see representations of themselves in the classroom, like baby dolls, characters in books, and familiar toys and props from their homes. At Primrose, we take a careful and purposeful approach to everything inside our classrooms to ensure we are meeting this need for children.

Understanding similarities and differences

Often, we hear diversity, equity, and inclusion and think differences, but for young children, it is equally important to showcase what it is that unites all of us as people regardless of race, gender, culture, preferences, and life experiences. That’s why we start every school year with an exploration of Alike and Different and infuse this idea into learning experiences throughout the year.

Involving families as partners

Each family is asked to complete a Family Introduction Questionnaire about meaningful details like holidays, cultural celebrations and other interests, and that information is used to help children learn more about each other.
