Primrose Schools
Primrose Schools is a national early education and child-care franchise system serving children from infancy through kindergarten, with additional before-school, after-school, and summer programs for older children. The company describes itself as a national system of accredited private preschools built around close partnerships between teachers, school leadership, franchise owners, and families.
Primrose was founded in 1982 by Paul and Marcy Erwin in Marietta, Georgia. The brand was built around the idea that child care should include a structured educational foundation rather than simply supervised play. Primrose later expanded through franchising, combining its proprietary Balanced Learning® approach with locally owned and operated schools. Current 2026 franchise information reports more than 500 schools in 34 states, including 521 franchised units listed in the International Franchise Association’s current guide.
Primrose Schools operates through Primrose School Franchising SPE, LLC and remains a private franchise organization. Its current leadership page identifies David P. Berg as Chief Executive Officer. The company previously had Jo Kirchner as CEO, so pages still listing her as the current chief executive are outdated. Current official Primrose leadership information clearly lists Berg in the CEO role.

The Infant program provides structured care for babies in a nurturing classroom environment. Teachers focus on secure relationships, communication, sensory development, early movement, routines, and age-appropriate learning experiences.
Toddler classrooms support rapidly developing language, social, physical, and independence skills. Activities are designed around exploration, movement, communication, and predictable routines.
Early Preschool helps children transition toward more structured learning while continuing to emphasize play, movement, language, relationships, and hands-on exploration.
Preschool Pathways supports children as they build early academic, social, and self-help skills before moving into the full preschool curriculum.
The Preschool program combines teacher-guided instruction with child-initiated exploration. Lessons are designed to strengthen language, literacy, math, science, creativity, social-emotional development, and physical skills.
Pre-Kindergarten focuses on school readiness by helping children strengthen foundational academic skills, confidence, independence, communication, and problem solving.
Selected Primrose schools offer Transitional Kindergarten for children who may benefit from an additional year of structured preparation before traditional kindergarten.
Some Primrose locations offer private kindergarten programs using the company’s education model and structured curriculum.
Before-school programs provide supervised care, activities, and routines for eligible school-age children before the regular school day begins.
After-school programs provide supervised learning, recreation, social activities, homework-related support, and enrichment for children up to around age 12 at participating schools.
Summer Adventure Club provides seasonal educational and recreational experiences for school-age children. Activities can include science, arts, movement, projects, games, and themed experiences.
Balanced Learning is Primrose’s proprietary education approach. The company describes it as a research-informed combination of purposeful play, teacher-guided instruction, child-led discovery, character development, and academic preparation.
Primrose schools integrate music, movement, language, creativity, science, and other enrichment experiences into the educational day.
Character development is built into the Primrose approach to help children practice kindness, generosity, honesty, responsibility, cooperation, and other social values.
Primrose encourages communication between schools and families so parents can understand classroom experiences, developmental progress, activities, and learning goals.
Primrose offers franchise ownership opportunities to qualified candidates interested in operating private early education and child-care schools. Franchisees receive pre-opening training, development support, curriculum resources, operational guidance, and ongoing support.

This current number is specifically published for privacy-policy questions and accessibility to the policy.
For enrollment, tuition, classroom, teacher, schedule, food, health, behavioral, or day-to-day school concerns, parents should contact the individual Primrose school directly. Each school is independently owned and operated, and the Franchise Owner is the employer at that location, so most local issues are best handled by the School Director or Franchise Owner.
For corporate or system-level concerns, call 800-774-6767 or 770-529-4100. Have the school’s full name, city, state, child’s enrollment information where appropriate, dates, and details of previous conversations ready so the National Support Center can understand the issue and route it correctly.
Privacy-related concerns can be directed to privacy@primroseschools.com or 1-844-888-7746.
Complaints may involve tuition, enrollment, teacher conduct, school leadership, child safety, curriculum, communication, privacy, food, health policies, or franchise practices. Gather the school name, dates, payment records, emails, enrollment agreements, photographs if relevant, and prior communication with teachers or management.
Begin with the specific Primrose school involved. Speak with the teacher or front-office team for routine issues and explain the concern clearly.
If the issue relates to enrollment, billing, curriculum, health, food, staffing, or another specialized matter, request the school administrator responsible for that area.
If the first contact does not resolve the matter, request review by the School Director and then the Franchise Owner. Because schools are independently owned, the Franchise Owner is usually the highest local authority.
Send the complaint in writing to the school and retain copies of all correspondence. Written records are especially important for safety, tuition, enrollment, discrimination, or repeated service issues.
For unresolved matters, contact Primrose School Franchising SPE, LLC, 3200 Windy Hill Road SE, Suite 1200E, Atlanta, GA 30339, or call 770-529-4100 / 800-774-6767.
Privacy concerns can be sent to privacy@primroseschools.com or handled by phone at 1-844-888-7746. Franchise, legal, licensing, or education-standard concerns should be directed to the appropriate specialized corporate team.
Child-care centers are licensed at the state level. Safety, staffing, supervision, health, or licensing complaints can therefore be filed with the child-care licensing agency responsible for the state where the school operates.
Tuition, billing, advertising, or contractual complaints may also be reported to the relevant state Attorney General or consumer-protection agency. Payment disputes can be raised with the applicable bank or card issuer when appropriate.
For serious unresolved disputes involving enrollment contracts, injury, discrimination, significant financial loss, or other legal rights, review the enrollment agreement and any dispute-resolution provisions. Depending on the circumstances, legal counsel, mediation, arbitration, small claims, or civil court remedies may be appropriate.
