For young children, big feelings are a normal part of growing up, and learning how to manage those emotions is an important part of their development. 💛​

In our classrooms, teachers help children build emotional awareness and confidence through everyday experiences. Whether it's taking a movement break, talking with a friend, or working through challenges with guidance and support, children are learning healthy ways to express themselves and navigate their feelings.​

​🤗🌟 See how everyday moments help little ones build confidence, empathy, and self-regulation skills that support them both in and out of the classroom.

Katrina Laffey has a gift for creating learning experiences that are accessible, memorable and meaningful for every child. 💡​
​
In three years at Primrose School of South Charlotte and 12 years with Primrose overall, Ms. Laffey has built a Pre-K environment that is warm, creative and inclusive. Dramatic play centers change into gardens and coffee shops, a sensory table becomes an invitation to explore and every activity is introduced with genuine enthusiasm.​

Ms. Laffey doesn’t just teach. She builds experiences children and families carry with them long after the school year ends. ❤️​

You may see the packed calendar, the unfinished to-do list or the moments when you wish you could do more.

Your child sees something different. ❤️

They see the hug before drop-off. The excitement at pickup. The encouragement that helps them try again. The familiar routines that remind them they are safe, supported and loved.

This Working Parents Day, we’re celebrating every parent balancing so much while continuing to show up with love. You are making more of a difference than you know.

Share this with a working parent who needs to hear it today. 📨

The best part of a new school year might just be the stories that come home each day. ​

The new friend they met. The picture they're proud of. The classroom tradition they can't stop talking about. The little moments that help school start to feel like a second home. ✨​

Across Primrose schools, students are settling into new routines, building connections and creating memories that families will remember long after this school year ends.​

Amanda Frost helps children grow in ways families never imagined possible. 🌱​

At Primrose School of O'Fallon at WingHaven, Mrs. Frost pays close attention to every student’s progress, and she differentiates instruction and adapts lessons in real time to meet each child’s individual needs.​
​
Children leave her classroom emotionally prepared for kindergarten and academically ahead of expectations. Mrs. Frost has built a classroom culture so warm and consistent that children who once struggled with anxiety, transitions or self-confidence walk out ready for what comes next.​

Angela Levingston has spent 24 years turning everyday lessons into unforgettable learning experiences. 🌟​

In Mrs. Levingston’s classroom, a sheet of yellow poster board becomes a New York City skyline, simple materials transform into a three-ring circus, and a classroom wall turns into the world of Charlotte’s Web.​

Behind every transformation is purposeful teaching: smooth transitions, clear expectations and meaningful learning woven into each experience. She proves again and again that extraordinary education is both an art and a science.​
​
Her impact lives in the confidence she builds, the character she nurtures and the guidance she shares with colleagues. Twenty-four years in, Mrs. Levingston is still the standard. ❤️​

🐮✨ We had a moo-velous time learning with our Primrose friend Molly the cow today! Our older infants explored a giant square on the floor, eagerly placing colorful manipulatives inside while practicing counting with their teachers. Little hands were busy reaching, grasping, and discovering as we explored shapes, numbers, and spatial awareness together. It was so much fun watching their curiosity and confidence grow through hands-on play!
