As part of the more than $640,000 in monetary donations made in 2023, families raised more than $340,000 for the Primrose Schools Children's Foundation®, the charitable arm of Primrose Schools that exists to provide a brighter future for children who are underserved and to expand access to high-quality early education and care through research and advocacy.

Additionally, the foundation donated $50,000 to the West Lakes Early Learning Center, an innovative nonprofit early education and care center that combines high-quality early education, childcare and comprehensive health, wellness and social services for children and their families.
