In our poll last month, 34% of you said you’d be comfortable sending your kids to daycare or camp right now. We get it – most of us are headed back to the office post-quarantine or not able to stay at home all day with the kids.

Primrose Schools’ three Upstate locations remain open for working parents who are ready to get their kids back into the usual daycare, school, or even summer camp routine.

Primrose is known for its signature Balanced Learning® Approach, a multi-faceted learning experience that encourages creativity, compassion and resourcefulness. The three locations – Greenville (404 Houston St.), Midtown Greenville (19 Villa Rd.) and Simpsonville (2255 Woodruff Rd.) – offer a range of programs from infant care to kindergarten, as well as after school care and Summer Adventure Club: full-day summer camp for rising kindergarteners-fifth graders.

Summer Adventure Club began on June 1, with education-based, themed weekly sessions offered until August 17. Themes range from engineering to arts to sports, and each day of camp (6:30 a.m.-6 p.m.) includes outdoor play, activity zones, (virtual) field trips + special projects. Bonus: Meals + snacks included.

To keep children healthy, all locations + programs are implementing added safety measures, including:

  • Daily temperature checks before building entry
  • Requiring anyone with symptoms or fever to stay home until fever-free for at least 72 hours (must have doctor’s note)
  • Frequent disinfecting, sanitizing + laundering
  • Frequent handwashing by children and staff (already embedded in daily curriculum)
  • Training teachers on common signs of illness in children
  • and more.

Learn more about summer camp at the Greenville + Midtown locations and the Simpsonville location via Kidding Around Greenville. Call your location of choice directly to enroll.
