Early Foundations in Your Community
Early Foundations at the Gasparilla Preschooler’s Stroll
Since 2005, the Gasparilla Preschooler’s Stroll Presented by Primrose Schools has given pint-sized pirates (ages 5 and under) an opportunity to enjoy parade-style fun. Primrose School of Collier Parkway is always a fixture at this event!
Stories, Smiles & Community: Story Hour with Primrose School of Minnetonka
Primrose School of Minnetonka is bringing the joy of reading beyond the classroom through its ongoing Story Hour at Excelsior Bay Books!
Our Minnetonka team regularly partners with the local bookstore to welcome children and families for a morning filled with stories, songs, laughter, and connection. These special events give our teachers another opportunity to do what they love most: inspire a lifelong love of learning, literacy, and imagination in young children.
Story Hour is also a wonderful way for Primrose School of Minnetonka to connect with families throughout the community, welcome new faces, and create meaningful moments together outside of the school.
We are grateful to Excelsior Bay Books for welcoming our team and to all of the families who continue to join us. We look forward to many more stories, smiles, and Story Hours to come!

Primrose School of Ashburn Supports Local Families Through Loudoun Hunger Relief
Primrose School of Ashburn, conveniently located across from One Loudoun, is proud to support Loudoun Hunger Relief and families throughout our local community! Thanks to the generosity of our families, staff and neighbors during our Spring Fling, we made a meaningful donation to the Loudoun Hunger Relief Community Services Center.
Our leadership team recently visited the facility to learn more about its work providing nutritious food and essential support to families across Loudoun County.
This partnership is one more way our school community helps children experience the importance of kindness, generosity and giving back!
Arizona Schools Partner with St. Vincent de Paul
At Early Foundations, giving back is at the heart of what we do. Year-round, our Arizona schools proudly partner with St. Vincent de Paul on numerous charitable initiatives that teach children the joy of helping others.
Each November, we come together for our annual Caring & Giving Food Drive, a large community-wide effort to support St. Vincent de Paul’s mission. Last year, our families, children, and staff united once again to contribute to St. Vincent de Paul’s 32nd Annual Turkey Tuesday—collecting and delivering generous donations to help local families in need. We are excited to join them again next time!
Thank you to every family and team member who participated. Your kindness continues to inspire our students and strengthen our community..
