National
Leader in Educational Child Care, Primrose School Makes

South
Tampa Debut

TAMPA, FLA. (August
26, 2013) – Determined to make a difference in the lives of Tampa,
Florida children and their families, area residents Jana and Richard Radtke and
Christy Blackard opened Primrose School of South Tampa on August 19th.
The school features the high-quality, Balanced Learning® curriculum, providing
students with the right foundation for success in school and life.

Primrose Schools, the nation's leader in educational child
care with more than 260 schools nationwide, will make its grand entrance into South
Tampa, located at 1700 W Kennedy Boulevard. Primrose
is an accredited preschool that provides a premier educational child care
experience.  

To mark the official entrance of Primrose Schools into South
Tampa, the Radtkes will invite area families to a grand opening event on
Saturday, September 7, 2013 from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.; this event is open to
the public.

Richard and Jana Radtke discovered Primrose Schools when
searching for an early child care option for their own children – they wanted a
strong educational foundation with a focus on character development.  After finding Primrose, the couple knew it
would be a great fit for both their personal values and for the local community.
Shortly thereafter, they opened their very first Primrose School in Texas in
1995. Now, Richard and Jana own two Primrose schools in Florida – Primrose School
of Cross Creek and Primrose School of Tampa Palms – and saw a need in South
Tampa for a quality childcare and education program.

"We are excited to bring the Primrose educational child
care experience, its unparalleled curriculum and unique culture to South Tampa,”
said Jana. “Our goal is to help children have fun building Active Minds,
Healthy Bodies and Happy Hearts® while giving parents the peace of mind they
need and deserve.”

The 22,700 square foot Primrose School of South Tampa is the
8th school in the Tampa market that will offer the exclusive Balanced Learning
curriculum for children ages six weeks to 5 years old and through after-school
programs for elementary aged students. Developed by and taught exclusively at
Primrose Schools, Balanced Learning blends teacher-directed and child-initiated
activities with a special emphasis on character development.

The Radtkes said the new school will provide an unmatched
educational child care experience to area families, and noted that it has
already positively impacted the local economy by adding over 60 new jobs, and $6.6
million in project costs.

The school features 18 private classrooms with
state-of-the-art wireless technology. Outdoors, separate and secure
age-appropriate playgrounds will accommodate each stage of the children's early
development with equipment specifically designed to help them develop and grow
their gross motor skills. Children also develop their fine motor skills and
love of growing fresh fruits and vegetables in the Primrose Patch – a garden on
the school’s property.

As safety is a top priority, the new school also features
the official Primrose Schools Safe School Plan, which provides guidelines to
ensure ongoing safety measures are in place and parents as well as staff
members are prepared for any kind of emergency. 
A password-protected website keeps parents informed of the emergency
procedures and any critical information in the case of a situation requiring
immediate attention at the school.
