Primrose School of South Olathe

Primrose School of South Olathe is located in Olathe, right down the road from Sunnyside Elementary School and Scarborough Elementary School, on S Hunter Street.

Primrose School of South Olathe is open Monday through Friday, 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. 

We close for New Year’s Day, Martin Luther King Day, Memorial Day, Juneteenth, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and the day after, and Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, so families can plan ahead each season. 

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 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 experiences like sports, movement and martial arts activities 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.

Yes! Primrose School of South Olathe has a modern and secure playground, 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.

Yes, we offer before- and after-school pickup for families within approximately five miles of the school. 

After school, your child heads straight into homework time, and there’s still plenty of the afternoon left for outdoor play before we close at 6:00 p.m. 

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

Our lunch menus include favorites like chicken patty with mashed vegetarian beans and peaches and grilled cheese sandwich with tomato soup and peaches, 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 every child eats safely and confidently at school. 

Our teachers and kitchen staff are trained to accommodate gluten, wheat and celiac needs, peanut and tree nut allergies, milk and dairy allergies, egg allergies, as well as vegetarian and vegan 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 mean more one-on-one attention, so teachers have time to get to know your child individually.

We keep an individualized care plan on file for any child with medical needs, so our team knows exactly how to respond. 

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, 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.
