Primrose Schools Tuition Cost

Primrose Schools is a national preschool franchise, but since each school is independently owned and operated, tuition rates can vary widely by location.

Primrose Schools doesn’t disclose its tuition rates online[1] — you need to schedule a tour at a school in your area to find its exact rates.

We reached out to Primrose School locations in Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Texas, and Virginia and researched online reports from parents to better understand the typical tuition rates for Primrose School programs.

Most Primrose Schools offer full-day infant, toddler, early preschool, preschool, and pre-kindergarten programs five days per week. Some locations also provide full-day kindergarten.

Depending on your location, you may be able to find half-day programs or alternative schedules. Tuition prices will be prorated accordingly.

Of the locations we contacted, all offered alternative schedules (one to four days per week), about half provided half-day programs, and most offered kindergarten.

Typical full-time tuition ranges at Primrose Schools are as follows:

Most schools accept personal checks and credit cards as payment methods, and you may also be able to pay tuition online.

Some of the locations we contacted offer a multi-child discount, but you’ll need to contact your intended school to find out if it provides this.

Additional Programs

Primrose Schools advertises “balanced learning” programs, and its curriculum focuses on social and physical development, academics, creativity, and more.[2]

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]
