Primrose School of Bloomingdale is owned and operated by Mr. & Mrs. Gohil. The first Primrose school was founded in 1982 by the original founders Paul and Marcy Erwin. It is the nation’s leader in providing consistent, accredited early childhood education and child care services in more than 200 schools in 16 states. Primrose School’s foundation is based on a dedicated and passionate group of early child-hood professionals providing high quality education with a balance of learning, character development and play. Primrose School’s exclusive Balanced Learning® program blends teacher-directed and child-initiated activities with a special emphasis on character development and is consistently delivered in all Primrose Schools nationwide. Through this approach, Primrose Schools has created a meaningful learning path, or blueprint, that enables teach-ers to guide children in the development of the knowledge and skills they need to move successfully from one year to the next. Primrose is the first preschool organization in the country to achieve the gold standard in educational accreditation (SACS CASI/NCA CASI). “As parents of Primrose School children, we have watched our own daughters grow, develop and flourish at a Primrose School. Thus, when the opportunity arose to open a Primrose School in the Blooming-dale area, we seized it without hesitation. We have first-hand experience in the clear educational and developmental advantage that Primrose Schools provides our daughters, and we are privileged to provide the same opportunity to families and children throughout the community.” stated Mr. & Mrs. Gohil. We offer education and care services for children from 6 weeks through 4-years old (in our Private Pre-Kindergarten and VPK programs). We also offer after school care for children from local elementary schools. With our passionate staff, com-prehensive curriculum, and high standards, we partner with parents to provide the best education and care for every child. We are very appreciative of the support from our families who have told us they value the foundation we provide their children in a balanced, educational, structured and nurturing developmental environ-ment. We are also very excited to continue meeting more families and children as our school grows. We thank everyone in our community for their ongoing support and enthusiasm. Families interested in our school may call us at 813-438-5980, email us at [email protected], or visit our website at http://www.PrimroseBloomingdale.com. We also welcome families interesting in touring and enrolling their children to visit us at our school. Primrose School of Bloomingdale is located at 1280 Blooming-dale Avenue in Valrico, and we are open from 6.30am until 6.30pm, Monday through Friday.
