Primrose Schools, an early education and care franchise with over 450 schools operating in 32 states, Wednesday announced its growth into Nevada, beginning with dedicated efforts to identify locations for Franchise Owners in Reno and Las Vegas.
Primrose’s expansion into the state has begun with Franchise Owners Bethany and Alonzo Durham, whose South Reno school will be its first in Nevada and is set to open in October.
“The pandemic has elevated the importance and need for early education and childcare programs that provide parents with peace of mind about returning to work,” Steve Clemente, President of Primrose Schools, said in a press release Wednesday. “This need is even greater in growing states such as Nevada where Primrose is thrilled to offer both experienced and new Franchise Owners a turnkey opportunity to fill a void with an impactful investment in their community.”
The Durham family, Primrose’s inaugural Franchise Owners in Nevada, approached the company after determining the early education and care options in the region did not meet the standards they had for their own children, according to the release. Located less than seven miles from downtown Reno, the approximately 12,170 square feet school is expected to open this October.
“While researching investment opportunities in childcare and early learning, we found that Primrose Schools was consistently leading the industry and were so impressed with the level of care being provided at the schools we visited,” Bethany explained.
In addition to the Durham family’s upcoming location, the Primrose Schools Development Team is curating additional properties for future Franchise Owners in Reno and Las Vegas who will be able to skip the site-search phase for a student-ready site in as few as eight months. Each of these locations is expected to serve approximately 185-210 families in Washoe and Clark county areas.
