Primrose School would love to meet your family.
Contact UsMy husband Travis and I would like to welcome you to Primrose School of Woodbury. We are the proud owners and operators of the Primrose School of Woodbury. We have 2 beautiful children (Primrose School of Woodbury graduates) who attend East Ridge High School in Woodbury. Our love for family and passion for community are what encouraged us to open our Primrose School. After researching child care and early learning options while living in Denver Colorado when our son was born, we stumbled upon Primrose Schools and were so impressed with the level of care, and education provided to the children there. We moved home to Minnesota in 2004 to be closer to our own families. When we couldn't find a program that compared to, or exceeded our Primrose Schools experience, we decided to build the Primrose School of Woodbury. We first opened our doors in October 2007, we have found great satisfaction in working with high-quality, dedicated early learning educators to provide the nurturing and educational environment we so firmly believe lays the foundation for future success. We continue to be amazed by Primrose's outstanding approach to education, the accredited curriculum, enrichment and character development programs. We believe in the importance of early literacy, and are proud of our Primrose Schools partnerships with many local and national non-profit organizations, including Save the Children, MN Safe Kids Coalition, Gillette Children's Hospital, Feed My Starving Children and many more. We believe our partnerships with these organizations will be forever valuable in teaching children that no matter how big or small, we all stand to make a difference in the world. We believe so strongly in the power of our community, and believe our Primrose School will grow leaders. Woodbury is our home, we live just down the road and we appreciate seeing our neighbors attend Primrose School with us. We're at Primrose every day, and take great pride in bringing an exceptional academic program to our community. We look forward to meeting you and to Primrose exceeding your expectations.
We aren’t just a daycare in Woodbury – we are a premier early education and child care experience for children and families. We are conveniently located just minutes down the road from Brookview Elementary School on City Walk Drive.

Congratulations to our September, Family of the Month the Sonbol Family! Thank you for being a part of our community! "Our family includes my mom, me, and our dog, Zeak, who my mom says is my brother, but he's a DOG, so there's that. My mom is a law professor and isn't super handy, so it's a good thing I'm a plumber and general handyman who can take care of fixing stuff around the house and managing my many DIY projects. We love to build Legos, put together puzzles, bake cakes, go fishing, have picnics at the park, and sample local honey. My favorite thing to do at Primrose is everything - from circle time, to learning how to read and do math in my head, to being line leader, to reciting the pledge of allegiance, to playing outside, and last but not least, getting to share my favorite part of the day! We are so very fortunate and grateful to be part of the amazing family at Primrose School of Woodbury!"
Fostering a sense of belongingness has been a part of every day at Primrose for the past 40 years, and we’re excited to invite all families, from Primrose and beyond, to join in as we celebrate the annual National Day of Belongingness on September 29.
Congratulations to our August Apple of our Eye, Ms. Booker! We are so proud to be celebrating you this month. Your hard work and dedication to each of your students and families is amazing. We appreciate your flexibility and willingness to help out. Thank you for all your do!

We relocated last year from Chicago and have been exploring Minnesota together. We love to go on walks, read books, do art and cheer on each other’s sporting events as a family. Olivia loves her time with friends at Primrose. She enjoys playing on the playground and welcoming special guests! The mailman was a big hit! Jack has enjoyed meeting new baby friends, playing with bubbles, and getting an extra hug or two from his teachers during drop off!"
Each Primrose school is held to high standards of safety and cleanliness while maintaining a caring and nurturing environment where children can thrive.

It's a fact: children learn better when they are engaged. That's why purposeful play and nurturing guidance from teachers are key components of Balanced Learning. See how this time-tested approach with a strong emphasis on life skills and character development can help your child develop and excel.

It's been a busy day here at Primrose Woodbury! We are so luck to have a shared holiday today between St. Patrick's Day & Red Nose Day. Not only have we been setting traps for Leprechauns (No, we haven't caught one yet!), we've also been having conversations about the real struggles of childhood poverty. Our students enjoyed all the fun St. Patrick's day activities our teachers worked hard to provide and found themselves being silly with Red Noses this afternoon! #primroseproud #stpatricksday #rednoseday
We are so lucky to spend St. Patrick's Day with our precious little leprechauns at Primrose School of Woodbury 🍀

She also loves being outside and playing on the playground (even in the snow). Max loves to eat and sleep and will hopefully love sleeping all night long REALLY soon.

Congratulations to our October Apple our Eye, Mrs. Snyder! Thank you for being a part of our Primrose family over the years! We appreciate all you do for you Kindergarten families and your coworkers.
Yesterday, Primrose Woodbury was excited to celebrate the first ever National Day of Belongingness. Primrose school teachers do so much more than encourage skills like reading and writing. They help children feel included and valued. Because when children feel that they belong, the effect is powerful. Fostering a sense of belongingness happens every day in Primrose classrooms, and the children have a lot to do with that! By sharing, playing and simply spending time together, children learn to celebrate the ways we are all alike and different. Thank you so all our wonderful families for bringing this day to life. We loved seeing all your special pictures, activities, recipes, etc. come to life!
We are celebrating Mrs. Guertin this month! Not only is she our Apple of Our Eye, but she is also celebrating her 11th anniversary today! Be sure to congratulate her!

We are starting off our second robotic week on a high note! This week, children were briefed on this week’s mission: It is a “top-secret” mission into outer space and the children must use the Dash robot to help bring our Primrose Friends back to their home planet, Planet Primrose! We learned that NASA has a control center and each of their jobs is very important. We were able to choose our own mission control jobs for this week’s top-secret mission. Ask your child what Mission Control job they chose! #readysetrobotics
Ready, Set, Robotics! Our school age Summer Explorers are spending two weeks learning all about Robotics. This week, our Adventurers became “makers” as they practiced design thinking skills, basic coding skills, and teamwork to complete several design challenges, including a Rube Goldberg machines. After learning about Leonardo Da Vinci’s large variety of artworks, machines, and inventions children began working on their own machine- a carnival ride! Children also practiced coding by designing their own path for the Dash robot to follow and worked in groups to help Dash complete the path they created for him. Be sure to check back with us next week to see what other inventions our kids have been working on! #readysetrobotics
We absolutely LOVE watching our Primrose Families grow. Thank you to the Tierney family for your kind words and being such a great addition to our Primrose community. We have enjoyed taking care of Maverick over the past year! "We have been so happy with the care Maverick has received since starting, and truly that we feel as a family. From being happily greeted every morning to the genuine effort teachers and staff alike have made to get to know us, not to mention the ease and peace of mind I feel dropping him off each morning knowing he’s getting award-winning care — for these reasons and more we are so grateful to be part of the Primrose community. Thanks to everyone at Primrose for creating and facilitating such an amazing community. With full and happy hearts, The Tierney’s Kyle, Christine and Maverick (12 weeks vs. 15 months)"
Congratulations to our July family of the month, the Rivera Family! "Hello! We are the Rivera Family. We moved to Woodbury just under two years ago from Germany and our children have been attending Primrose since November of 2020. We are a military family who moves frequently and Primrose has greatly helped make the adjustment to a big move easier for our boys. Our oldest son, Miguel, is currently enrolled in the explorers classroom and is always coming home talking about all the fun he has in before and after school care, and especially during summer camp. Our youngest son, Jaxon, has moved through three classrooms since coming to Primrose and has been able to make incredible developmental strides because of the wonderful teachers he has had in each classroom. We enjoy a lot of family time together. Most weekends we go on a variety of adventures just exploring the area. We frequently have family game nights and like to take our dogs to the park to run and play. We also really enjoy going to sporting events together and watching football every weekend during football season. Both of our children enjoy outside time the most. Jaxon likes the sensory tables and creating art with stickers. Miguel loves to go on the field trips with the adventure club and play with the robots in the classroom."
Congratulations to our July Apple of Our Eye, Mrs. Cook! We have absolutely loved your positive attitude lately. We know your coworkers, families and students really appreciate your hard work and dedication. Thank you for all that you do!

We like to play on the swing set, play with our grandparents and cousins, and spend time outside in general. We’re looking forward to the lake days ahead! At Primrose, our son likes playing with his friends, cars and the sensory table. If our daughter June had a bigger vocabulary, we think she’d say that she enjoys eating the stellar food, going outside and siting on her teachers’ laps."

While it is natural to want to shield children from tragic events, sometimes they may hear adults talking, see images that cause them concern, or ask questions. We have partnered with Dr. Laura Jana, pediatrician and member of Primrose Early Learning Council, to develop a resource for navigating difficult conversations with your child.

Oren and Aubrey both attend Primrose, which has become their home away from home and a place where they have flourished both socially and academically. Dad is a mechanic at Auto Works in Woodbury and also flips & fixes cars out of the home garage. Mom is a doctor at M Health Fairview with clinics on campus at the University of MN & in Woodbury. Our extended family is very large and all live in the Twin Cities. The Standal kids have twenty cousins ages ten and under, which makes holidays and family get togethers pure chaos! As a family we enjoy boat rides, fishing, family walks and entertaining. Oren loves all his Primrose friends and states that his favorite activities are playing outside and building with Legos. Aubrey loves all of the snuggles she gets from her amazing teachers Mrs. Powell, Mrs. Parent and Ms. Dohbila!"

Magnets are our paintbrushes this month! Our students have been working in teams to create beautiful masterpieces using magnetism, motion and their creativity!
We are enjoying a busy Monday here at Primrose! Our classrooms have been full of reading to our friends, using pipettes and water colors to make art, using one-to-one correspondence to count and our Private Kindergartners even had a field trip to visit the grandparents! What a great start to the week!
When we make promises, we keep them. That's what Primrose Friend Billy helps teach our students. Today our Private Pre-Kindergarten students acted out a story with our Primrose puppet friends about how important keeping promises is to help our friends feel valued.
Art can be more than pictures of objects. Our students learned that from artist Jackson Pollock. They created their own drip paintings by combining water, oil, paint and sugar and dripping it onto their paper!
Happy Holidays from your Primrose Family! Just a reminder we are closed December 24th & 25th and January 1st. We hope you have a wonderful time with friends and family this holiday season!
Happy First day of Winter!
We sure are starting to feel the Holiday Cheer here at Primrose! The holidays are a special time when we celebrate traditions and give others the best gifts of all -- love, kindness and generosity. Our students are celebrating and learning about each other's traditions with fun activities! What are your family traditions?
It's Ugly Christmas Sweater Day here at Primrose!
Thank you to all our friends and family who came and celebrated with us this week at all our classroom parties! We are feeling the Holiday Spirit at Primrose!
We had a special visitor from the North Pole this morning! Mrs. Claus visited our classrooms today! We sang songs, reads books, and enjoyed our time together preparing for Santa's visit this weekend!
The month of November at Primrose is all about generosity. Which is why we participate in our annual Caring & Giving Food Drive event. This year our students and families collected nearly 1,500 pounds of food and over $200 to be donated to the Christian Cupboard Emergency Food Shelf! Thank you!
Our Private Pre-Kindergarten and Kindergarten classrooms visited Hy-Vee this morning to buy more food for our food drive. They have spent the entire month collecting money in their classrooms, donating their own money, and had the chance to spend it today! The kids even had the opportunity to tour the grocery store. Be sure to watch Channel 5 News tonight as they talk about all the good work our students have done. The Christian Cupboard will be stopping by our school tomorrow to pick up all the food we collected over the month. We can’t wait to see how many pounds of food we collected as a school!
Children learn from watching, listening and imitating. That's why we demonstrate positive character traits, like this months theme of generosity, through our actions, words and lessons.
Happy Thanksgiving from our family to yours!
Our little scientists have been observing how nature changes with the seasons. This week, they've been focusing on how leaves change! Students have been tracing and sorting leaves, reading about leaves and using their senses to share with each other what they notice!
Our Food Drive kick-off was a huge success! Thank you for helping us show our students what generosity is all about!
We had so much fun at our annual Trick or Treat Street event! Happy Halloween from the 100 Acre Wood-bury Primrose!
