Primrose’s Caring & Giving initiative encourages children to complete age-appropriate household chores for allowance money to buy canned goods.
“Nurturing generosity in young children is an investment in the future of our society,” said Jo Kirchner, CEO of Primrose Schools.
“At Primrose Schools, we believe that teaching children the value of giving, sharing and caring is a cornerstone of early education. By educating children to be service-minded and to give without expectation, we are working together toward a brighter future of caring, community-oriented citizens.”
Twelve Primrose schools participated in the donation.
