Kindergarten at Primrose of Murfreesboro
Nothing prepares your child for success in elementary school like a strong kindergarten experience where academic and social development go hand-in-hand with physical well-being and creative expression. Our teachers guide and instruct students using a balance of group activities, individual attention, and a strong emphasis on reading and math. They use multiple forms of ongoing assessment to evaluate students' performance and development in different learning domains and share progress with parents throughout the year.
Our Balanced Learning® System helps children establish The Right Foundation to Build Active Minds, Healthy Bodies ...

Fitness in Martial Arts
It’s a fact. The average adult and child today, is in the worst physical shape of any other time in history. Obesity and diabetes now run rampant through our country. Most schools no longer offer daily physical education and exercise. While there are numerous opportunities for a family to get involved in an exercise program, most don’t.
With so many fitness programs available for both adults and children, how does someone decide what program is best for you and your family?
One of the most important concerns, in ...

Gutter Garden
Make it kid friendly!
Does your kid LOVE to garden? Play in the dirt? How about learn new things? What about eating their veggies? Well if you said YES to at least one of those things, you might be looking at your next project and HOPEFULLY add "YES!" to eating their veggies!
Kids tend to be MUCH more interested in eating their veggies, or at least TRYING them, if they had a HAND in growing them, themselves!
We made a Gutter Garden on our fence this weekend. It was easy, QUICK and looks super ...
Quick Easy Lunch (aka SnackLunch)
Macaroni Menu
I'm lucky that my 3 year old is not a picky eater, but she does get a little fussy sometimes if food is mixed up, mushy, or hard to keep on a fork. Her favorite thing to eat is anything with her hands! This lunch is one of her favorites because she can help me get it ready by loading up the plates. She has dubbed it "SnackLunch." Which means, "I don't need a fork!" I had a hard time getting a picture because she kept snitching pieces ...
Tips for Choosing a Campground
Macaroni Fun
Have you booked your summer vacation yet? So many choices of things to see and do, all within a few months of school’s summer break. One of the favorites in my family is to go camping. I love what a campground can offer a family. From activities, to nature, and plenty of pool time, I think it can’t be beat. I whole heartedly encourage you to consider putting camping on the top of your ‘to do’ list for this year’s summer fun!
