Primrose School would love to meet your family.
Schedule A TourEducation has been a lifelong passion for both me, as a first-generation college graduate, and my husband John, who comes from a family of educators. In a dual-career household, we struggled to find a good match for our family that would address both our son’s educational and social-emotional development needs as well as our own need for convenience and the high-quality it takes to feel good about entrusting our child to someone else’s care. We live near Graduate Hospital (Penn Medicine at Rittenhouse), and we know that many of our friends and neighbors have faced the same challenges.
I’m originally from Georgia, which is the birthplace of Primrose more than 30 years ago, and I knew that Primrose is everything we want for our son and his friends—an inquiry-based learning environment, true character development, and support for our other passion, health and wellness. At Primrose, we call that Active Minds, Healthy Bodies and Happy Hearts. We’ve waited for five long years to find the perfect place to bring the Primrose Experience, which is everything we’d been looking for, to families in Center City Philadelphia, and it’s finally arriving the summer of 2016.
We invite you to join us on this incredible journey as we open our school at 1635 Market Street, First Floor Plaza Entrance, Philadelphia, PA 19103. We are glad to meet with you personally, or feel free to join one of our parent information meetings in the coming months. Contact us by pressing the “Schedule a Tour” button on our home page today, or email me directly at:

All the best,
Allison

We’re ready for summer. Are you? Join us for a season of Active Minds, Healthy Bodies, and Happy Hearts® as we learn and explore through STEAM, sports and fun in the sun!
To better meet the individual needs of every child, we’re proud to implement Ages & Stages Questionnaires® (ASQ®-3 and ASQ®:SE-2) in Primrose schools across the country.
Each Primrose school is held to high standards of safety and cleanliness while maintaining a caring and nurturing environment where children can thrive.
Get your smiles ready Primrose Family! Lifetouch will be here onMonday April 3rd and Tuesday April 4th. The photographers will create a proof and send it home with an order form on Picture Day. We can take sibling photos on either day and will take individual siblings on the same day, just let us know so we can make note on the schedule. Class photos and Graduation photos will be taken. Lifetouch and Primrose will be working together to follow safety precautions.
There’s no question that parents want their preschoolers to grasp the basics of colors, numbers and letters to foster a lifetime of learning.
It might seem odd to think about your preschooler exploring data analysis and algebra.
As part our highly enriched Balanced Learning® curriculum, we value your partnership in ensuring that your child is optimally supported and challenged along the learning pathway. This partnership includes a systematic approach to assessment and developmental screening in which your child’s teachers will engage with you to assess progress toward goals. We hold Parent Teacher conferences twice annually.
It's a fact: children learn better when they are engaged. That's why purposeful play and nurturing guidance from teachers are key components of Balanced Learning. See how this time-tested approach with a strong emphasis on life skills and character development can help your child develop and excel.
We are looking for passionate, dedicated teachers to help us provide a nurturing, quality early learning experience for children and their families.
