Welcome

 

Hi there! My name is Dr. Mary Zurn and I am the Vice President of Education for Primrose Schools. If you aren’t familiar with Primrose Schools, we’re a family of over 200 private preschools nationwide. I recently decided to start Dr. Z and Me as a way to share my love for children, education, books, and reading with others – mommies, daddies, aunts and uncles, grandparents and caregivers – just like you. If you’d like to learn more about me, read my complete bio.

Check out these dance moves!


by Dr. Z February 26 2010

We launched the Family Dance-off competition a few weeks ago and are having the best time watching families around the country show off their dance moves. I’m amazed and thrilled to see that so many families really know how to boogie!

If you haven’t had a chance to enter the contest yet, check out these tips to get your family dancing. We hope you will enter to win or vote for your favorite family. Remember, if the grand prize winning family is located in your area, a $30,000 donation will be made to your local area Children’s Miracle Network hospital.

Children's Miracle Network


by Dr. Z February 22 2010

Myself and the rest of the Primrose family are so proud to be partnering with Children's Miracle Network to bring families nationwide the Family Dance-off. We can't wait to present a donation for $30,000 to one of these amazing hospitals - remember, which hospital is up to you - you have until March 19 to upload your video! This week I've asked our friend, Aubrey Cichelli, director of Children’s Miracle Network, to tell us a little bit more about CMN:

Back in 1983 – when Earth, Wind & Fire, The Police and Michael Jackson were topping Billboard charts – a new organization was founded with the mission of helping as many children as possible. Children’s Miracle Network set out to accomplish this mission by raising funds for children’s hospitals.

Dance Your Child’s Way to a Healthy Body and Happy Heart


by Dr. Z February 1 2010

Have you ever tried to think of a fun way to motivate your family to become more physically active? I’d like to invite you to join Primrose Schools in promoting physical activity by encouraging your family to have a family dance night! Dancing is a fun, easy way to incorporate lively physical activity into your family’s routine while enjoying quality time together. Not only is dance an entertaining way for children to keep their hearts healthy, but it is also a creative form of self-expression that builds self-confidence and promotes their development as happy, fit and healthy individuals.
