Dear Parent,
Choosing child care is a big decision, but I am confident that you will find you will receive the very best with Primrose Schools. At Primrose, we are passionate about nurturing young children and providing the highest quality early childhood education for each child entrusted to our care. In fact, one of the main reasons I went into this field was because we saw the shortage in quality educational childcare when searching for our own children. After acquiring Primrose at Hope Valley Farms, I saw the difference it was making in children’s lives. After being a stay-at-home mother, providing a safe, loving, and nurturing environment where moms could have that same peace of mind, became a priority in the business approach of my school. We thoroughly enjoy the opportunity to serve as a family extension of the children we serve. Parents know they can trust us to not only care for their children, but to help them grow, learn, and excel in a safe and nurturing environment. They have experienced first hand the positive impact of our trained, dedicated staff and our Balanced Learning¬ Curriculum. This is why we offer the Primrose Satisfaction Guarantee. It represents our commitment to your child and our assurance that you will be completely satisfied with your child’s happiness and learning success at Primrose. It is our invitation to you to experience the Primrose difference for yourself. I am confident you will find, as I did, that Primrose offers the best educational and child care experience available for young children.
Kind Regards,
Norma Guzman-Munguia On-site Franchise Owner
