This episode is brought to you by Primrose Schools. Who children become is as important as what they know.

That belief is at the heart the Primrose School's balanced learning approach, which weaves character

help children learn what it means to be a good friend, how to show respect for others,

why it's important to keep promises and more, all in a warm environment filled with loving teachers.

From infant to age five, Primrose Schools is the leader in early education and care.
