WHAT A DIFFERENCE
At Primrose, our mission -
to forge a path that leads to a brighter future for all children - is why we do what we do each day. It informs our who, what and how. Our belief that who children become is as important as what they know comes to life through our exclusive, research-informed approach to teaching and learning. We deliver more than a curriculum; we provide a life-changing early learning experience for children and their families.
We believe who you are is as important as what you know. While experience and knowledge are an important part of the success equation, who you are matters just as much. We treasure our relationships with Team Members, Franchise Owners and those we serve. Our commitment to diversity means we seek similarities and respect differences in our unique backgrounds, life experiences and perspectives. We make every effort to ensure everyone feels they belong in our Primrose community.
