In addition to its full-time and part-time schooling, Primrose Schools offers a few other programs for an additional cost.

Before/After School Care

If you need to drop off your child before typical school hours or pick them up late, all Primrose Schools locations we contacted offer before- and/or after-school care programs.^[3]

Prices range from about $60 to $100 per week (on top of tuition), depending on the days/times you require.

These additional care programs are available for children up to 12 years of age.^[3]

Go & Grow Part-Time Program

Some Primrose Schools offer a part-time program for three- and four-year-olds called Go & Grow. The program focuses on social-emotional intelligence, music, and critical thinking.^[4]

The exact pricing for this program varies by location and your desired schedule.

Summer Camps

Some Primrose locations hold summer camps for children in kindergarten through fifth grade.^[5]

These full-day camps reportedly cost about $200 to $300 per week, with no additional charges for meals or activities.

Additional Costs

Some Primrose Schools locations charge registration fees, but this varies by the school since each is an independently-owned franchise.

Additionally, Primrose students are required to wear uniforms, which parents must purchase. Uniform pieces include shirts, pants, skirts, dresses, sweaters, and accessories. Most pieces range from about $15 to $40 each,^[6] which can mean a total of a few hundred dollars for several outfit options.

Most Primrose schools have an on-site chef, and meals/snacks are provided to students at no additional charge.^[7]
