Celebrating 20 Years with Primrose School of Sugarloaf By Kristen Eleveld
Educating our children in a loving environment that also nurtures their individual needs seems like a tall order, maybe even too good to be true. But for Primrose School in Sugarloaf, parents have found that their children not only get everything they need, but that the team at this school will always go above and beyond to ensure that each child has the opportunity to learn and develop. As they celebrate twenty years of serving the Gwinnett area, they have no plans to slow down anytime soon. In fact, they strive to offer a little more each year. “I’m really proud of how long we have been able to do this!” said Tanisha Turner, who owns Primrose Sugarloaf and serves as its leader on campus. “It feels great to give children the opportunity for future success at such a young age.”
so important to these kids.” As a teacher of nearly forty years who has seen thousands of children come through the Primrose Sugarloaf doors in its tenure, Tanisha’s love of helping children grow has never diminished. It seems to grow stronger each year as she leads her team to offer everything they can to the children under their care. While the details for the celebration of the twentieth anniversary are still in development, Primrose Sugarloaf never falls short when it comes to celebrations. On the first day of the school year, Primrose Sugarloaf literally rolled out the red carpet to its new and returning students and families. A photo booth with fun props was set up, and parents were encouraged to dress up and take photos with their children. There were bubbles, and even some prizes as the team at Sugarloaf Primrose did what they do best: make school an exciting place filled with joy and new opportunities. This red carpet event is just one of the dozens of ways that Primrose makes the school such a unique experience. Whether it’s a special theme day or partnering with the community to donate canned goods to people in need, Primrose Sugarloaf is always ready to celebrate with the students and teach them to love their community. Primrose serves as a school to children from infancy through kindergarten, but kids up to twelve years old are invited to be part of their after-care program and Summer Adventure Club, allowing working parents to rest assured that all of their children are being cared for and loved each day. “When you’re an educator, you want to give,” said Tanisha. “But then you wind up getting a lot, too.” If you want to learn more about what makes this school such an incredible opportunity for the Gwinnett area, Tanisha and her team are ready to help.

When reflecting on how Primrose Sugarloaf has thrived for two decades, Tanisha can think of a few driving factors. First is the school’s commitment to excellence in all that they do, whether in the classroom or as part of the community. Working to serve the community around them is a high priority for Tanisha and her team, so they have become a household name for many Lawrenceville residents and beyond. In addition to their ongoing dedication to giving 120% each day, Tanisha credits much of the school’s success to the parents bringing their children daily. The parents of Primrose are considered partners in their child’s learning, but Tanisha takes that a step further by working to encourage parents who have questions or concerns about how to help their children develop. And, of course, one of the biggest reasons that Primrose Sugarloaf has passed the test of time with passing colors is that everyone who works there loves what they do each day. “We are here to guide kids through all parts of life,” Tanisha said. “Academics are part of it but we also work on social skills, how to deal with emotions and be resilient, and a lot of other areas that are November 2023 Our Town Gwinnett
