With more than 40 years in business and over 500 accredited schools across 33 states, Primrose Schools® is the
national leader in providing premier early education and care. Backed by a growing industry and our track
record of success, each school brings with it the valued reputation of the Primrose Schools brand.
We’re growing nationwide
- We have over 100 projects currently in the development pipeline nationally.
- We’re searching for sites across the country and have identified areas of concentrated growth.
- We're able to quickly evaluate sites for purchase and lease with Franchise Owners seeking school locations that meet their geographic and market needs.


We’re an amenity
- A child care provider in a development attracts and retains tenants and benefits local residents.
- Our premier reputation shows existing and potential tenants that your development is attracting a customer with high spending power.
- Each school drives approximately 150 to 200 high-income parents to the property twice a day, five days a week, based on our average occupancy and income levels in our development areas.
- Parking occurs in off-peak hours and schools require fewer spaces than most retail.
We’re flexible
Our development strategy fits almost any market and space. Beyond our typical single-story buildings on 1.5 acres, our experience includes:
- Purchasing land and constructing a traditional freestanding one- or two-story-building.
- Acquiring and converting one- and two-story office buildings.
- Leasing space in multi-tenant office buildings and retail centers.
- Renovating purchased and leased single-tenant properties.


Why Early Education
- The industry continues to grow as the millennial generation (73 million, according to Pew Research Center) is just reaching peak family formation age.
- Early education and child care-focused franchises are part of an estimated $57 billion child care industry, according to IBISWorld.
- According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, nearly 62 percent of families with children have two parents employed— more than ever before.
- There is a constant need for child care. Parents drop off and pick up their children year-round, drawing daily foot traffic to properties.
- Child care providers thrive in hard-to-fill, ground-floor commercial spaces.
- The child care industry isn’t as impacted by changes in technology. As the growth of online retailers forces businesses out of brick-and-mortar stores, early education providers like Primrose remain stable tenants.
