ATLANTA (Sept. 27, 2011) – Quality early childhood education will be more accessible to families in major U.S. markets as Primrose Schools opens its first preschools in Chicago, New Jersey, Washington D.C., Philadelphia and Boston. In addition to 12 schools under development in these key new markets, the educational child care franchise with 231 schools announced today that plans are also already underway to identify franchise candidates to open locations throughout California, Washington and Oregon. Primrose executives cite the company’s long history of strong loan performance by Franchisees, growing demand for quality educational child care, and unparalleled education/business delivery model allowing the company to achieve its goals of entering these new major markets in the U.S. Since the Wall Street Journal named the Primrose Franchise System among the top loan performers in 2008, the company has continues to experience a higher number of loans and larger dollar value when compared to its competitors. Primrose Franchise System continues to have one of the lowest default rates in the industry. The company also set itself apart from the competition with a recently released report indicating that Primrose students are well-prepared for school – more than 90 percent of Primrose students mastered 80 percent of the school readiness concepts outlined by nationally-recognized Bracken Assessment. Primrose students also show 1.5 times more growth than their peers in concepts mastered by the end of the school year. “Our franchise owners choose Primrose because they want to provide the very best educational child care experience to the families they serve, and we have the student outcome data to support the effectiveness of our Balanced Learning® curriculum,” said Darin Harris, COO of Primrose Schools. “Whether they have children, grandchildren or friends who were a part of the Primrose family, the majority of our franchise owners decide to start their own schools because of the lasting impact that our approach to early education has left on them.” Unlike any other preschool franchise, Primrose Schools consistently delivers the exclusive Balanced Learning® curriculum, a unique balance of academics, play and character development, for children ages six weeks to five years old as well as after school programs for children up to age 12. Primrose Schools’ Education Advisory Board works to continually improve every aspect of the care and education Primrose students receive, and to help Primrose achieve service excellence to meet the growing demand for quality early education and child care in America.
