- JTJordan TylerDec 22, 20235.0Couldn’t recommend Primrose of WLR more! Larissa and her staff have taken such wonderful care of my daughter, I have peace during the day knowing they are taking such good care of her :)
- SSSarahDec 22, 20223.0Our experience wasn’t great. Our 1 year old came home with a minimum of 3 new bruises plus scratches every day he attended, with no incident report or anyone mentioning anything to us until after we complained to the director after the 4th day. The one incident report we did receive was for large scratch across his face and no one knew how he got it and we were asked several times if he was like that when we dropped him off (nope, I was taking pictures at drop off at this point to check for physical changes). I requested that they check the cameras just to make sure nothing crazy was going on and found out that they don’t have any cameras at all except outside and in the hallways. Too weird. We pulled him out after picking him up on the 7th day with more bruising. He had been a sturdy walker for a solid month before starting and is not an especially accident prone toddler. Also, on the first day at pick-up my husband walked in and our son was having a full on melt down alone in a corner; one “floater” adult with a very young child in her lap and out of ratio, ignoring all of the other kids. I was really shocked with how expensive and nice looking this place was with the results we had. The director really seemed to want to work with us and try to figure out a solution, but I am lucky enough to have back up childcare and didn’t feel like experimenting with this daycare any further. I also think they push the kids a little too far developmentally. They said my son would never eat lunch at the toddler table/chair set up…he was exactly 12 months old. Kids are definitely supposed to still be in high chairs at that age. I wanted this place to work for us so much but honestly should have pulled him out sooner. He was not his usual, happy self for about 2 weeks after we left.
- PFPierre FravalMar 10, 20211.0One star is already one too many to describe how unprofessional this place is. Despite few good teachers, the poor management and direction allow for distrusted care. Food intolerance and child specific needs are not at all supported. New baby will go hours before being fed just because they “refused” the bottles.
- DJDewon JonesFeb 27, 20195.0Primrose is the best! Everyday that I drop my child off I feel great knowing that's she's going to be well taken care of!! The staff is wonderful, and they keep you updated on everything involving your child. We couldn't have made a better decision selecting Primrose as our childcare center for our daughter!
