In 1998, Primrose became the first educational preschool company to earn national accreditation from CITA/SACS CASI* (now part of AdvancED) ultimately reinforcing its long-standing commitment to high-quality early childhood education, paving the way for others to follow later. For more than 100 years, these organizations have been recognized as the gold standard in evaluating schools and colleges. Primrose also has a rigorous internal quality assurance program, the SEA (Standard of Excellence Accreditation). That means we undergo quarterly quality assurance reviews conducted by our national headquarters field consultants to make sure we are doing everything necessary to create a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment in which children can learn successfully.

What is Balanced Learning?
Balanced Learning is a unique blend of the two most effective strategies in early childhood education: “teacher-directed,” where teachers use research-based curriculum to guide children along a continual learning path, and “child-initiated,” where children pursue individual interests through play and exploration. Teachers support children’s learning by addressing subjects such as language and literacy; physical development and health; mathematics; social/emotional; science and technology; social studies and creative arts and expression which are incorporated within the exclusive research-based, Balanced Learning curriculum. Character development is woven into each day through learning and play experiences. The goal is for each child to become a well-rounded individual—continually learning and enjoying life.

How do Primrose Schools partner with parents?
Parents are regularly informed of learning experiences and classroom events via weekly and monthly newsletters. Primrose encourages parents to reinforce the skills and concepts that their children are learning in school by suggesting specific, fun activities they can do with their children at home. For example, teachers may send home a suggestion of a book for parents to read with children that relates to the learning theme for the week. This provides a point of discussion for children to share with parents what they are learning and doing at school. Reading books to children is the most effective and enjoyable way to ensure children’s future success in school.
