Primrose School of Minnetonka
Primrose School of Minnetonka, which officially opened its doors to students on Monday, Oct. 13, is the 12th Primrose school in the Twin Cities. Adding approximately 30 jobs to the community, the 15,000 square-foot school is poised to serve more than 175 local children and families.

The school will offer the Primrose exclusive Balanced Learning® curriculum, which blends teacher-guided and child-initiated activities with a special emphasis on character development, for children 6 weeks to 6-years-old. Over the past six years, Primrose Schools has used the Bracken School Readiness Assessment to ensure the effectiveness of its proprietary curriculum. Additionally, for students up to age 12, Primrose Schools offers the Primrose Explorers after-school program, further shaping young people for success in learning and life.

“As long-time and loyal residents of Minnetonka, we want to give back to a community that has always given back to us,” said Cathy. “We understand the complexities of selecting a high-quality education and care provider, and now we look forward to being able to bring the Primrose experience to Minnetonka families and the community we’ve long called home.”

The school will feature 11 private classrooms with wireless technology throughout with four separate and secure age-appropriate playgrounds to accommodate each stage of the children’s early development, including equipment specifically designed to help develop and grow their gross motor skills. As part of Primrose Schools Thumbs Up!® Enrichment Program, one playground has no equipment, as it is specifically designed for physical development and activity. Furthermore, children will continue to develop their fine motor skills in the Primrose Patch – a garden on the school’s property that enriches school curriculum with monthly gardening and nature study.

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 and staff members are well prepared for emergencies.

Primrose School of Minnetonka is located at 17821 Hwy. 7. To contact Primrose School of Minnetonka, please call 952-401-0300 or visit www.primroseminnetonka.com.
