We all belong here at Primrose School of Reston! 🫧💛

For National Day of Belongingness, our children worked together to create this mural. Each bubble is different, just like each of us, and together they make something beautiful.

At PSOR, everyone deserves to feel seen, valued, welcomed, and included. Together, we belong! 💙

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. ❤️​

Happy Hispanic and Latin American Heritage Month!

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. 📨

Friendship skills start early, and parents can nurture them in simple, everyday ways. 💛​

​Try modeling the kindness you want your child to show, naming emotions to build empathy, creating opportunities for compassion and helping your child see differences as something to celebrate. 🌟​

​At Primrose, teachers build on these same skills through purposeful play and nurturing guidance. Learn more ways to help your child become a good friend. https://bit.ly/4iI5Uoq

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.​

​What's one story, moment or accomplishment your child couldn't wait to tell you about after school? Share in the comments below or post a photo of them enjoying the new school year. 📸

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.​

When offered a leadership position this year, she chose to stay with her students. That choice says everything. ❤️​

When children at Primrose School of Carmel explored community helpers, they learned that kindness can be delivered in many ways. 💌​

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. ❤️​

💛 BIG FEELINGS ARE OKAY! 💛

Back-to-school season can bring ALL the emotions for little ones and their grown-ups!

Young children are still learning how to identify, understand, and communicate their feelings. With a little patience and support, we can help them build those important social-emotional skills both at school and at home.

Here are 5 simple ways to support your little one:

😊 Embrace ALL feelings — happy, sad, frustrated, excited… every feeling is okay.

🧩 Make time to connect — even a few minutes of one-on-one time can make a big difference.

👂 Really listen — get down on their level and give them your full attention.

💬 Build their feeling vocabulary — help them learn words like frustrated, worried, proud, excited, and calm.

🧭 Be proactive — prepare them for transitions and big moments before they happen.

Remember, big feelings are part of growing little hearts and minds. 💕 Give them the space, words, and support they need to learn how to navigate them.

📌 Save this post for the next big-feeling moment and share it with another parent who could use it!
