Life lessons go beyond letters and numbers at Primrose Schools. In addition to academics, children learn such skills as proper table manners and cleanliness, and character skills like honesty and kindness. The accredited early education and care schools can start with your young one as early as six weeks. St. Mary’s Episcopal School emphasizes play-based learning that allows kids to explore reading, math, science, dramatic arts, cooking and other disciplines in small and large groups. And the Goddard School, headquartered in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, has nine locations in Ashland, Chester, Glen Allen, Henrico, Mechanicsville and Midlothian, offering an education-focused experience.
