Build a brighter future for all children. Come join a state-of-the-art school-built October 2021!

Teaching is more than a job. It’s an opportunity to foster curiosity, creativity, and compassion in children—all while helping them develop a lifelong love of learning. As a Teacher at Primrose School of Broken Arrow, you’ll create a fun, safe environment with a daily schedule designed to develop children’s confidence and independence. We work with children from Infant to Kindergarten and school-aged for before and aftercare. You’ll help guide these little ones through small group instruction as they grow their ability to absorb new content and understand increasingly complex information.

Get everything you need to give children everything they need.

At Primrose School of Broken Arrow, you bring the passion, and we’ll give you all the tools and training to be successful. Our Balanced Learning® approach was developed with early learning experts. It provides clear daily plans so you can focus your time in the classroom on forming connections with the children—and spend your time outside of school focused on yourself. Classrooms come fully stocked with everything you need, and our supportive Leadership Team works daily to create a safe, healthy environment and a culture where all children and team members can thrive. And if that’s not enough, wait until you help a child learn something new and see their face light up with excitement. We are open Monday through Friday 6:30 AM - 6:00 PM.
