Primrose Early Art Masters and Creative Arts
SM
WHY: Visual and creative arts stimulate imagination and critical thinking skills which help in other areas of learning and development.
• Your child learns and practices techniques of master artists, contemporary artists and children’s book illustrators in the Primrose Early
Art Masters program.
• Your little artist also may practice new art techniques and express individual creativity while creating a masterpiece at the Create Zone!
Happy Hearts Character Development and Life Skills SM
WHY: Research shows that social-emotional intelligence is one of the best predictors of future success in school and in life.
• We believe who children become is as important as what they know.
• Our Primrose Friends puppets, starring in our original literature books, introduce and reinforce specific character traits through
age-appropriate discussions, story-telling and role-playing.
• Your child learns and practices important skills and traits, such as compassion, sharing and generosity, as adults encourage and
serve as role models.
• Your child also explores a specific character trait, life skill or plans a giving event during dedicated Happy Hearts Time each week.
Social Studies
WHY: The early years are ideal for children to begin to understand democratic norms and values within family, classroom and
community as well as how they can contribute to society.
• Kindergarteners can relate to and value family and friends, but they also understand that children like them live in other places. In
the Primrose Kindergarten classroom, your child explores geography concepts, economics and global awareness as they learn
about various countries and cultures and gain respect for diverse beliefs.
• Your child also learns to give back to those less fortunate through our Primrose Promise Giving Events.
Primrose Schools Harmony & Heart™
WHY: The first few years of life are important for developing musical aptitude and a love of music, and can even help prepare
children for learning reading and math in the future.
• Music is a universal language that is made up of patterns, fractions and sequences. Not only does music build new pathways in
the brain that reinforce mathematical and reading concepts, music can also increase your child’s independence and confidence.
• Your child will not only learn music skills like tone, melody, and rhythm - they’ll also grow in areas like language, math and
particularly, character development through the Harmony & Heart program.
Primrose Schools Mucho Mundo® Spanish
WHY: Learning a second language supports children’s language development and helps them learn about and appreciate other cultures.
• The Primrose Spanish program is integrated throughout daily classroom experiences to support your child in learning words,
phrases and sentences so they can hold simple conversations.
• Along with Spanish vocabulary and songs, your child learns about cultural diversity while developing the understanding that
people can use different words to convey the same idea.
Primrose Schools Thumbs Up!® Physical Development
WHY: Active children are more likely to become active adults.
• Our Thumbs Up! program, a skill-sequenced physical health and development program, helps your child gain an increased
awareness of physical capabilities.
• Children learn and practice individual skills as well as participate in fun game-like situations with partners and in small groups.
• Your child learns safe and effective ways to throw, catch, bounce and kick balls with coordination and agility.
• In addition to organized activities, our playgrounds provide opportunities for physical challenge and to safely take risks. Your
child can swing, slide, roll, climb, jump, run, and throw and kick balls.
