Primrose School of West Plano

✈️🌍 This week at PWP Summer Explorer Camp, we took a trip around the world—no passport required!

Our adventurers kicked things off with a visit to the Flight Museum, where they learned all about different types of aircraft, how planes fly, and even explored the history of aviation. 🛩️

Next stop: California Pizza Kitchen, where our students became junior chefs and learned how to make their very own pizzas—yum! 🍕👩‍🍳

Back on campus, we explored the cultures of Asia, Africa, Europe, and the Americas. Students created their own passports, tried new foods like yogurt and veggies from around the globe, and participated in hands-on activities that celebrated different cultures. 🌎🎨🍽️

We loved seeing their curiosity take flight this week!

✨ Stay tuned for next week’s theme: “What Floats Your Boat?” It’s going to be another week full of learning and adventure!

Our Pre-K students were hard at work today finishing up their pinch pots! 🧑‍🎨 Over the past two days, they’ve explored what clay is, how it’s made, and even looked at real pottery pieces for inspiration. Using their wrist motor skills, they each created their very own pinch pot masterpiece. We love watching creativity and learning come together! 💛🎨👐

☀️Summer has officially started at Primrose West Plano!☀️
From a foam party and splash pad fun to our very first field trips—our friends had an absolute BLAST today!

Our Explorers kicked off summer with an exciting visit to the Flight Museum, where they learned all about airplanes, aviation history, and how pilots navigate the skies. ✈️🛩️ It was the perfect adventure for our curious Kindergarten and First Grade minds!

We can’t wait to share more of the fun we have planned this summer—stay tuned! 🎉

🌸 Our Early Preschool class had a blooming good time during Wonder Time 2! 🌼

We explored all different kinds of flowers, then rolled up our sleeves to create our very own flower pots. The creativity was in full bloom as we discussed questions like:

🖐 “How are the textures of the materials different?”
🌺 “Is your flower petal big or small?”
🎨 “What colors are you using?”

We loved seeing each child express their ideas through art, color, and conversation. Watching their imaginations grow is just as beautiful as their flower pots! 💐✨

🐄✨ Moo-ve over, ordinary school days — today was udderly amazing! The Southwest Dairy Farm stopped by for a special visit, and our students were thrilled to see Luna the cow again! 🐮💛

From learning how Luna produces milk to understanding how dairy helps our bodies grow strong and healthy, today was full of hands-on learning and moo-velous memories. 🧠➡️🥛➡️💪

Thank you to the incredible team at Southwest Dairy Farm for sharing your knowledge and passion — you’re helping our young learners grow in more ways than one! 🌱📚🥛

🎓 In just TWO weeks, our little scholars will be walking across the stage, celebrating all the incredible milestones they’ve achieved this year! 🌟 We can’t wait to share this unforgettable day with all of you. Let the countdown to graduation begin! 🎉📚💛

📚🦋✏️ Take a sneak peek into what our preschoolers learned today! 📚🦋✏️

In small group literacy, our preschoolers dove into the letter “G”! They explored words like “giraffe” and “guitar,” learning to write both uppercase and lowercase forms. 🖋️📝

Over in small group math, it was all about patterns and counting by 10s. They had a blast identifying and creating patterns together! 🔢

After reading “The Very Hungry Caterpillar,” they discussed why the caterpillar grew and observed the fascinating food transformations each day. 🐛🍎 This led to recognizing different growth patterns in the story.

To wrap up, each student chose how much food their very own caterpillar ate and practiced writing the corresponding numbers. 🍏🔢

Our Older Infants are enjoying exploring the beautiful outdoors today! ☀️🍃

Outdoor exploration at an early age is vital to their growth—it helps develop motor skills, builds sensory awareness, and encourages curiosity about the world around them. Every step, touch, and discovery supports their cognitive and physical development in meaningful ways.

Primrose schools across the country collected over 385,000 canned goods and raised more than $58,000 for those in need during this year's Food Drive! ❤️​

A huge thank you to the students, families, teachers, staff, Franchise Owners and Support Team members for their generosity and dedication to making a positive difference in their communities.

The joy of giving is reflected in our Primrose Promise Giving Events, where students, families, teachers, staff, Franchise Owners and Support Team members make a positive difference their communities through service projects. ​

​As a part of our annual Food Drive, we participated in the 11Alive Can-A-Thon by donating more than 21,000 cans to the The Salvation Army Metro Atlanta. We are so proud of everybody who gave without expectation and supported those in need this holiday season!

Nothing brightens a Primrose parent's day quite like a message featuring an adorable story, photo or video about their child. What's the best message you've received from your child's teacher? 📱💌 Share with us in the comments!

Happy Thanksgiving! We have so many things to be thankful for this season, from the hard work and dedication of Primrose teachers, staff and Franchise Owners to the joy, love and laughter that students and families share with us. 🧡🦃🤎​

As part of the Primrose Schools Mud Pies® program, students learn about agriculture as they plant, grow and harvest nutritional fruits and vegetables in the Primrose Patch. ​

​Understanding where our food comes from is an important part of our health, history and culture. Did you know pumpkins are native to North America and were first cultivated by Indigenous People, along with corn, beans, cranberries and various other foods? Indigenous People in the Americas are to thank for many of the foods we grow and enjoy today. ​

​Share an emoji of your little one's favorite fruit or vegetable and how they like to enjoy it! 🌽🫘 🍽️

The holiday season often comes with a change in routine, which can be challenging for young children — and for the parents dealing with tantrums, sibling squabbles and more. To make the most of your family time this holiday season, check out the tips below. ​

❤️ Model self-regulation for your child ​
By modeling self-regulation when you feel frustrated, like verbalizing your emotions, you can help your child build that same skill in themselves. ​

✅ Set and reinforce expectations ​
Children do best when they understand what they can and cannot do. Ensure you are clear with what is being asked of them and look for moments to praise their positive behavior. ​

Gratitude is one of the many positive character traits that children learn in Primrose classrooms. See how you can help foster gratitude in your little one right at home:​

​🎁 Teach Gratitude Through Gift-Giving: Putting a reasonable limit on gift-giving during birthdays and holidays can help your child better understand the value of each present they receive.​

​🤗 Demonstrate Gratitude: Model this important trait for your little one by showing appreciation for others, always saying “please” and “thank you” and having a positive attitude.​

​🗣️Provide Prompts: Gently remind your child to say "Please"​ and "Thank you" to build this important habit.​

​❤️ Create a gratitude ritual: Have each family member share one thing they’re grateful for every evening before dinner, write “I Care” cards together, or volunteer as a family.​
