Primrose School of Meadowbrook is open Monday through Friday, 6:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.

Yes, Primrose School of Meadowbrook is Cognia® accredited and an Approved Child Care Aware® Provider, reflecting our commitment to providing a high-quality early learning and care experience for every child.

These recognitions mean 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 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 combining purposeful play and nurturing guidance, we help your child build the skills to learn, grow and thrive, from our Infant classroom through Pre-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 additional enrichment experiences like sports and movement activities 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.

Yes, Primrose School of Meadowbrook has secure, multi-fenced play areas with distinct sections for double-slides, stairs and classic playground swings, giving children daily outdoor play as part of their regular schedule.

Our playgrounds are carefully monitored to ensure children can explore, play and learn safely. Staff remain actively involved in children’s play experiences, perform daily safety checks and maintain constant supervision. Daily safety inspections, ongoing environmental monitoring and weather-related precautions help create a secure outdoor experience for every child.

Not at all. Our teachers partner one-on-one with each family to support potty training at whatever pace fits the child, keeping the approach consistent between school and home.

Of course! 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 a formal breakfast, so we’d ask that your child eats before arriving for the day. From there, our Balanced Menus carry through a morning snack, lunch and an afternoon snack.

Our lunch menus include favorites like a chicken and rice casserole with fresh broccoli and diced pears, giving children variety and proper nutrition 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, as well as egg allergies.

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.

Yes, every team member at Primrose School of Meadowbrook passes a detailed background check before joining our school and keeps current CPR and first-aid certification the entire time they’re on staff. Every adult in every classroom meets that same standard.

Primrose School of Meadowbrook maintains teacher-to-child ratios that meet or fall below the requirements of the Alabama Department of Human Resources, Child Care Services Division, for every age group. Smaller ratios mean more one-on-one attention, so teachers have time to get to know your child individually.

Primrose School of Meadowbrook is licensed and regulated by the Alabama Department of Human Resources, Child Care Services Division, which sets requirements for staff qualifications, health and safety and classroom ratios.

We are also Cognia® accredited and an Approved Child Care Aware® Provider, additional layers of independent evaluation beyond state licensing.

Yes, school leadership at every Primrose school is trained to handle medication administration and to respond quickly and safely to a child’s needs. Primrose keeps an individualized plan on file for every child with medical needs, so staff have the exact guidance they need.

Every classroom at a Primrose school follows a Safe School Plan built to help teachers respond without missing a step. Staff and children practice these drills monthly, and each school keeps its plan current so families know what to expect.

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 offers two-way communication, making it easy to stay in touch with your child’s teachers.

We value open, ongoing communication and connect with families in person during drop-off and pick-up to discuss your child’s day, answer questions and share observations from the classroom.
