Yes, Primrose School of Fuquay-Varina is Cognia® accredited, reflecting our commitment to providing a high-quality early learning and care experience for every child.

This recognition means our curriculum, teaching practices, health and safety procedures and family partnerships are regularly evaluated against outside standards and re-evaluated on an ongoing basis to stay current.

Accreditation is not a one-time achievement. It is an ongoing process of continuous improvement that helps ensure we consistently deliver a nurturing, engaging and high-quality learning environment where children can thrive.

We follow the Balanced Learning® approach, exclusively developed by Primrose Schools®, to nurture the whole child intellectually, physically, socially and emotionally.

Through Balanced Learning®, our dedicated teachers create engaging learning experiences that inspire curiosity, creativity, confidence and compassion.

By thoughtfully blending purposeful play, guided discovery and nurturing support, we help your child build the skills to learn, grow and thrive, from our Infant classroom through Transitional Kindergarten.

Each day, our caring teachers combine structured learning, purposeful play and rest into a rhythm suited to every age group, integrated with circle time, small-group lessons, Children’s Choice Learning Centers, meals and rest.

At our school, children also enjoy our exclusive Primrose Enrichment Programs, including Chess with Percy®, Drama with Og® and Mindful Movement with Mia℠, along with additional enrichment experiences like sports that inspire creativity, confidence and new skills.

School readiness begins in our Infant program and grows through every stage of our Balanced Learning® approach, with each year building the academic, social-emotional and life skills children need for future success.

Using balanced assessments and ongoing teacher observations, we monitor each child’s development, individualize learning experiences and partner with families through regular communication to support a confident transition to kindergarten and beyond.

Children under 3 do not need to be potty-trained to enroll at Primrose School of Fuquay-Varina, but children age 3 and older do. For younger children, our teachers work one-on-one with each family to support potty training at your child’s own pace, keeping the routine consistent between school and home.

Yes, Primrose School of Fuquay-Varina has high-grade commercial safety playgrounds featuring open running lanes, structural slides and ball-handling skill grids, giving children daily outdoor time as part of their regular schedule.

Our playgrounds are carefully monitored to ensure children can explore, play and learn safely. Staff remain closely involved during playtime, staying on top of daily safety checks and constant supervision.

Ongoing environmental monitoring and weather-related precautions help create a secure outdoor experience for every child.

Yes! Our on-site chef prepares lunch and snacks fresh each day in our own culinary kitchen, all part of our Balanced Menus.

We don’t serve breakfast, just a morning snack, so we’d ask that your child has eaten before arriving.

Our lunch menus include favorites like chicken nuggets with tropical fruit, a meatball sub with meatballs (cut lengthwise and crosswise), zucchini and mandarin oranges, and beef and cheese tacos with mashed black beans and applesauce, with vegetarian alternatives like veggie nuggets and veggie crumble tacos built into the menu throughout the week.

All foods and meals are age-appropriate.

We work closely with each family to build an individualized plan, so your child eats safely and confidently at our school.

Our teachers and kitchen staff are trained to accommodate gluten, wheat and celiac needs, peanut and tree nut allergies, milk and dairy allergies and egg allergies, as well as vegetarian diets.

Our Balanced Learning® approach supports the whole child through purposeful play and nurturing guidance, paired with developmentally appropriate learning experiences. Through ongoing observations and differentiated instruction, our teachers tailor learning opportunities to support each child’s unique strengths, interests and stage of development.

By balancing child-initiated exploration with teacher-guided learning, we help children build confidence, independence, creativity and essential academic and social-emotional skills at their own pace.

When families partner with early intervention or specialized service providers, we welcome open communication and share what we’re seeing in the classroom to support the child’s experience.

Smaller ratios allow teachers to spend more time one-on-one with your child and get to know them individually.

We are also Cognia® accredited, an additional layer of independent evaluation beyond state licensing.

For any child with medical needs, leadership keeps an individualized care plan on file, so they know exactly how to respond.

Every classroom at Primrose School of Fuquay-Varina follows a Safe School Plan designed to help our team respond calmly and quickly whenever the need arises.

Staff and children practice these drills monthly, and the plan stays continually updated to keep families informed.

We use an app to keep families connected throughout the day by sharing photos, classroom activities, curriculum information, nap updates and diaper change and bathroom visit notifications.

The app also includes two-way messaging, so you can stay in touch with your child’s teachers whenever you’d like.

We value open, ongoing communication and connect with families in person at drop-off and pick-up to discuss your child’s day, answer questions and share what we’re noticing in the classroom.
