Supporting Our Communities

We believe that every child represents the promise of a better tomorrow, which is why for nearly 40 years, Primrose Schools has partnered with parents, children, staff, and the communities we serve to make a difference in so many young lives. We remain steadfast in our commitment, especially to those children across the country who are underserved. We call this the Primrose Promise℠.

Primrose Schools Children's Foundation®

The Primrose Schools Children's Foundation®, the charitable arm of Primrose Schools, is a not-for-profit organization that combines funding from our schools and national support center in order to make a greater national impact. The Primrose Schools Children's Foundation® exists to provide a brighter future for children who are underserved or in crisis. Focused on early childhood education, the Primrose Schools Children's Foundation® has contributed more than $5 million to national charities such as No Kid Hungry®, Save the Children®, Reach Out and Read®, Children's Miracle Network Hospitals®, ZERO TO THREE, Ronald McDonald Charities®, and other child-focused organizations.

Our Advocacy Work


Research shows that children’s experiences in the first five years play a significant role in overall health, confidence and success later in life. High-quality early childhood education helps children develop a strong foundation of cognitive and social emotional skills, which increases their ability to enter elementary school ready to succeed

Yet, over 50% of U.S. families live in a child care desert, meaning they do not have sufficient access to providers. Furthermore, the families that do have access often lack the diversity of options to meet their unique needs.

As a pioneer in early education and care, Primrose Schools and its leadership are sought by decision makers in the child care industry and beyond for their advocacy and expertise. With access to child care being a major, bi-partisan issue for legislators, Primrose Schools is also forming cross-sector partnerships with leaders throughout the country to advocate for a mixed delivery child care model , forging a path that leads to a brighter future for all children.
