- DGDeanna GarciaOct 27, 20255.0I wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for the incredible support and dedication that all the teachers and staff at Primrose provide. From the very first day, it was clear that this is a community that truly cares. The way you all go above and beyond to create a welcoming and nurturing environment has made a significant impact on my daughter’s experience at school. It’s not just about academics; it’s about fostering a sense of belonging and comfort, and you all excel in that regard. I have witnessed my daughter grow tremendously, both academically and socially, since she joined your school. The encouragement and guidance she receives from her teachers have not only enhanced her learning but also built her confidence. It is a blessing to see her so engaged and excited about her education. Thank you for your hard work, passion, and commitment to each child’s success. We feel incredibly fortunate to be part of this amazing school community.
- LDLohith DwarakaJun 16, 20255.0We're so happy with the Primrose Pre-K program! Ms. Gifford is an exceptional teacher – a true gem with endless dedication and generosity. Her emphasis on positivity, play-based learning, and practical application has fostered a love for learning in our child. Ms. Gifford observes her students closely, continuously identifying our child's strengths and areas for improvement. She provides daily, detailed updates (with pictures!) about their lessons and activities. We are able to understand how our child likes to learn and reinforce concepts at home. We appreciate the opportunities for parent involvement, like reading to the class, which truly makes it our community. Activities such as show-and-tell, gardening and harvesting (with earthworms that the children can touch and observe), observing mealworms grow into beetles, and field trips all contribute to hands-on learning. Beyond academics, the program's strong focus on kindness and collaboration creates a safe space - our child loves all classmates and teamwork! The other teachers, Ms. Stacy, Ms. Stephanie, Ms. Shelby and Ms. Dawna, also help with our child's learning and character development. Everybody is patient and loving! A huge shout-out to Ms. Sonal, Ms. Sam, Ms. Malini and Ms. Neeta! They make Primrose feel like family and do so much for us daily. They organize community events throughout the year, focusing on learning and fun. We have such fond memories celebrating holidays, birthdays and special events (including the pre-k graduation) at school! We are happy we chose Primrose and are immensely grateful for the time our child has spent here. It's been a wonderful journey and we are kindergarten ready!
- DBDeepali BhavsarSep 27, 20235.0We started our son at Primrose when he was just about 6 months and he is now 1.5 years old and is thriving. His teachers and front office staff show so much compassion and care. We are so blessed to have found such a great school for our son and have enjoyed our experience here.
- DJDebra JackDec 20, 20175.0This is an amazing school. My son learned so much from his teacher Mrs. Evelyn. She really takes her time with each child and is always coming up with new ways to keep the children engaged. The staff is amazing. Everyone is so nice and they all truly care about the children. They have a fabulous director who is so genuine. The owners work onsite and are there to make sure it’s running smoothly. It truly makes me sad that we moved, honestly this school is hands down the best!
