Primrose School of Ashburn to Host Early Literacy Open House Saturday

The Primrose School of Ashburn will host a National Open House Event to promote early literacy. 

The event will take place at more than 250 Primrose schools across the country on Saturday. The early literacy celebration is part of a collaboration among Primrose Schools, Reach Out and Read, and Scholastic to share the importance of teaching children to learn to read and love to read. 

Families from each community will enjoy interactive story reading and play time and have the opportunity to learn more about the Primrose Experience. The first 25 families at the Primrose School of Ashburn will take home a special gift bag, complete with the Scholastic books featured at the event.

“Studies have shown that early literacy is a predictor of future success for children, from entering kindergarten with larger vocabularies and stronger language skills, to being prepared for adult life,” said Jo Kirchner, President and CEO of Primrose Schools in a statement. “Together with Scholastic and Reach Out and Read, we’re encouraging parents to promote the importance of reading and connect with their child at our National Open House.”

According to a press release issued by the Primrose School, the National Open House is a part of the school's early learning advocacy to educate parents on the importance of early literacy for all children in their first five years.
