Education Alternatives
New private schools offer choices for parents and students By Collin Kelley For parents and students looking for more focused, private education, Intown has many options, including new schools and expansions of existing facilities to offer even more choices.
New Schools Primrose School of Atlanta Westside The 400th Primrose School has open on the city’s Westside. At full capacity, the new school, which is located on Marietta Boulevard, will create more than 40 full-time jobs and provide high-quality early education and care for more than 205 children and their families. “As parents ourselves, we know firsthand the importance of high-quality early education and care,” said Natalie Williams, Primrose School of Atlanta Westside franchise owner. “Research shows early education contributes to a lifelong passion for learning, so we’re thrilled to offer this experience to more families in Atlanta who may be struggling to find quality care just like we did.” For more information, visit PrimroseAtlantaWestside.com.
