School Age/Summer Camp Teacher

Imagine a nurturing after school program where children can relax, make friends and continue to learn while having fun. Welcome to the Primrose Explorer Program for children ages 5 through 12. Our school aged teachers provide homework help in the afternoons, aiding them in establishing good habits and freeing up for more time for family fun at home. Still, there’s plenty of time to explore creative expression, sports, technology, drama, music, games or enjoy some downtime. The fun and learning continues during Primrose's Summer Adventure Club, here children become engineers, artists, explorers and more as they discover the joys of design thinking, a fun and innovative way to learn. Engineering design challenges, experiments and themed activities await as children unlock new ways of thinking—all while having a blast!
