Primrose School to host a grand opening

Submitted by Primrose School of South Elgin

Local residents Kurt and Laura Daniel opened the Primrose School of South Elgin on July 11, featuring a high-quality, accredited curriculum shown to prepare students for success in school and life.

Over the past six years, Primrose Schools has used the Bracken Assessment to ensure the effectiveness of the Balanced Learning curriculum. Results at the national level indicate Primrose students are ready for school — more than 90 percent of Primrose students mastered 80 percent of the Bracken school readiness concepts.

To mark Primrose Schools’ official entrance into South Elgin, the franchise owners are inviting families to a grand opening event from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 6. The celebration will feature tours of the new school, a complimentary lunch, a magician, raffles and more. The ribbon-cutting ceremony will be at 10 a.m. with the St. Charles Chamber of Commerce, Elgin Area Chamber of Commerce, and village of South Elgin officials.

The 8,000-square-foot Primrose School of South Elgin is the only local school that will offer the exclusive Balanced Learning curriculum for children ages 6 weeks to 5 years old. Developed by and taught exclusively at Primrose Schools, Balanced Learning blends teacher-directed and child-initiated activities with a special emphasis on character development in our schools.

The new Primrose School of South Elgin, located at 450 Briargate Drive in South Elgin, is the first Primrose School in the Chicago area. The owners said the new school will provide an unmatched educational child care experience to area families, and noted that it has already positively impacted the local economy by adding 12 new jobs, and $2.7 million in project costs.

The school will feature eight private classrooms with state-of-the-art wireless technology. Outdoors, three separate and secure age-appropriate playgrounds will accommodate each stage of the children’s early development with equipment specifically designed to help them develop and grow their gross motor skills. Children also develop their fine motor skills in the Primrose Patch — a garden.
