Pointers for Parents

Believe it or not, playing in the mud can benefit children’s sensory development, creative thinking and even their immune system. Try these hands-on activities to explore your backyard and beyond.

Help your children craft these colorful vessels made from a sustainable resource. Tiny and lightweight, the boats will float easily in a dish of water.

Create a fun, eco-friendly haven for feathered friends by working together on this simple feeder that uses natural and recycled materials.

You and your child will have as much fun making this upcycled craft as you’ll have on the sightseeing adventures that follow. Get crafting — then go sightseeing!

At Primrose, children develop a sense of curiosity and respect for the planet through our Mud Pies® program. Children learn about growing plants and practicing sustainability as they tend to their school’s Primrose Patch garden. Children even have the opportunity to plant and harvest their own fruits and veggies!

In each of our nearly 400 schools across the country, there are moments big and small that make families proud to be part of the Primrose community. We love to celebrate these moments, especially those that bring our values of service, integrity, respect and giving without expectation to life.

Podcasts are an easy, affordable alternative to screen time to keep your little one’s mind engaged on car rides, at the grocery store or even on a rainy Saturday.

It’s widely known that vegetables are important for your little one’s development, but it can be difficult to find nutritious recipes that won’t cause drama at the dinner table.

You’ve heard the adage mother knows best. So why do parents choose Primrose? We provide families with top-notch education and care for their children, nurturing curiosity, confidence, creativity and compassion through our Balanced Learning approach.
