For more than 30 years, Primrose Schools has delivered premier educational child care in a warm, welcoming environment with unique curriculum delivered by caring teachers. Primrose continues to attract an increasing number of parents who demand high-quality educational child care, and also franchise owners who want to make a lasting impact on the lives of children, families, and ultimately, the nation. The ability to help educate and nurture children allows Primrose franchise owners the opportunity to receive returns on their investments in more ways than one.
A Sound Investment
The industry research firm IBISWorld projects that the $46.6 billion childcare industry will continue to grow in 2014. Education-based child care businesses, such as Primrose Schools, are expected to grow even faster than the overall daycare market. And Primrose is growing. With independently owned and operated schools in 20 states coast to coast, Primrose is on pace to open its 300th school this year and has grown for more than 30 years. According to FranData, between 2010 and 2012, Primrose experienced the highest revenue growth in absolute dollar terms, at a rate of more than double the competition. In 2012, larger-sized schools averaged $1.6 million in annual revenue**, and nearly one in three franchise owners owns multiple schools. |  |
A Compelling Culture
Approximately 73 percent of current franchise owners were parents whose children attended a Primrose school. Another seven percent of franchise owners knew a child who attended or otherwise personally worked in a Primrose school. These statistics demonstrate the transformative way Primrose franchise owners, teachers and staff care for children and help them prepare academically, socially, and emotionally for success. Parents choose Primrose because of its proprietary Balanced Learning® curriculum, which uniquely combines academics, character development, and enrichment programs to promote the development of Active Minds, Healthy Bodies, and Happy Hearts®. Franchise owners choose Primrose because of the strong support, commitment to excellence, and shared values of the corporate team and the existing franchise owners.
A Chance to Make a Real Difference
“There is an incredible story behind each one of our franchise owners. We have smart, talented people from all walks of life – you don’t need to have education experience to own a Primrose school,” said Chris Goethe, Primrose Vice President of Franchising. “But there’s one common theme – they all care about investing in children and families in their local communities, and intentionally are taking ownership of a business opportunity that will help improve the lives of others – and their own.”
