Why choose Primrose ? ®
Just ask a mom. My children are learning things I never “imagined they could learn at this point in their lives. My preschooler can write his name and recite his alphabet and numbers. I also have a 15-month old who is learning his shapes and colors. It’s just amazing how much Primrose is teaching
” — Jude & Ethan’s Mom,
my children.
