Our Before & After School Care
Our Explorer program is designed to nurture Active Minds, Healthy Bodies, and Happy Hearts® in children starting at five years old. Your child can relax, make friends, get homework help and continue to learn while having fun as they explore creative expression, sports, technology, drama, music, games and more.
Nurturing Active Minds, Healthy Bodies, and Happy Hearts

My name is Jocelyn Manzano. I am currently enrolled in Joliet Junior College to get my Associate’s degree in Early Childhood Education. I have been working in the field of Early Childhood for over 3 years. I absolutely love getting to know all of the children and their amazing personalities in my classroom. This school year is going to be so amazing and I can’t wait to meet all of you and have an amazing school year. Primrose is an excellent place to enroll from our infants to Kindergarten.
