Primrose Schools has more than 500 locations.

Primrose Schools, the early education and child care provider, reported that it opened 21 new schools in 2024.

Additionally, Primrose signed 64 new franchise agreements last year. This marks a record for the education franchise. Primrose now has more than 525 schools in over 30 states.

Looking ahead, Primrose is set to open 40 new locations in 2025 and has over 200 locations in various stages of development.

“For more than 40 years, Primrose Schools continues to set the high standard for early education and care, while also providing franchise owners with a proven, financially sustainable business model,” Steve Clemente, president of Primrose Schools, said in a statement issued by the franchise.

Primrose said that it is driving “aggressive development efforts” in 2025 while targeting key markets including Los Angeles, Chicago, Salt Lake City, and Philadelphia. 

This year Primrose will also expand its footprint through entry into two new markets and states. This includes openings in South Dakota and Louisiana for the first time.

“New developments and neighborhoods continue to recognize high-quality child care as an essential amenity to a thriving community,” said Nick Koros, chief development officer of Primrose Schools. “We’re inspired by the growing interest from developers and brokers who understand the lasting value that early education and child care services bring to new projects and communities at large.”

Primrose Schools was founded in 1982 and is based in Atlanta, Georgia. According to Primrose, it offers franchise owners with the opportunity to invest in a financially rewarding and emotionally satisfying business that delivers an early learning experience for children and families in their community. 

Each school is independently owned and operated by franchise owners who are provided with business model and exclusive approach to early education, called “Balanced Learning.”
