My favorite aspect of our Balanced Learning Curriculum is it intentionally embodies developmentally appropriate activities and a balanced schedule to encourage each child to reach their potential.
I love our schools because I love influencing the next generation of early childhood educators and creating a premier early childhood experience for our families!

I love Primrose School of Andover at Crosstown because we truly are a family. We have a team of educators who are dedicated to creating a vibrant, safe, and academically enriching environment for every student. As a parent of a primrose student myself, I know how important it is to have trusted relationships with teachers. At Primrose School of Andover at Crosstown, you can feel confident that you are leaving your child in the best possible hands
My favorite part of the balanced learning curriculum is that it uses a “whole child” approach. Nurturing happy hearts, healthy bodies, and active minds. In doing this we ensure your child will thrive by connecting care at school and at home. We want to partner with your family to provide that personalized support. I also love that by using our curriculum enhancements, we create a child focused environment that both engages and excites learning in children of all ages.

My favorite part of Primrose is how we are all one big happy family! Everyone works to help support and care for everyone else.
My favorite part of the Balanced Learning Curriculum is being able to watch the students grow in every aspect. From physical development, cognitive and social development, to watching their music, math, and reading skills soar. We help form well-rounded learners!

Ms.Lili Ferreira
Hello! My name is Lili, and I am proud to be the Infant teacher at Primrose!
My favorite part of the Balanced Learning Curriculum is in the infant room you get to watch each child’s reaction to the sensory play activities. We expose them to things they may not have seen or touched before and that is so rewarding to watch their faces light up with excitement and wonder.
I love our school environment because of all of my co-teachers and the families. Everyone is so nice, and we are all focused on the same thing; what is best for young children.
