Yes, Primrose School of Medina 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 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 additional enrichment experiences like soccer, dance and fitness that inspire creativity, confidence and new skills.

School readiness starts in our Infant classroom 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 stay in close contact with families to support a confident transition to kindergarten and beyond.

Smaller ratios mean more one-on-one attention, so teachers have time to get to know your child individually.

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

Every classroom at Primrose School of Medina 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, sharing photos, classroom activities, curriculum information, nap updates and diaper change and bathroom visit notifications.

The app also supports two-way communication, so staying in touch with your child’s teachers is simple.

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