Before our son was born, we scheduled a tour and got a inside look at what the facilities were like. After touring one other daycare, Primrose was both our family's automatic choice where we wanted our son to grow.
He entered daycare at around 4.5 months and he's been loving it since. He is what we call a fear of missing out (FOMO) baby, so daycare has been great in allowing him to move around in a safe environment and also learn. He's currently at 10.5 months and has learned so many things such as asking for more, clapping his hands, crawling around, etc.
Like many others who provided reviews, I also am in agreement that all the staff have been warm, attentive, and invested in each child's development. They also seem be on rotatation and recognize each child within the school. Our son has been blossoming in the infant class with his teachers Miss Sekyoung and Miss Jessica. And he'll be transitioning to the toddler class soon with Miss Angelica after he turns 1 this year.
Reena and her administration are wonderful and communicative. If there are any questions you can call in or email.
- Daycare is secure, passcode is required to enter the facility.
- Hours of operations work for us in picking up or checking in.
- Monthly Newsletters sent out providing respective month's food menu and an overview of upcoming events. There are occasional events that they extend the invite for parents to participate.
- Procare app provides us with updates on how son is doing, through pictures and details. It's something I look forward to during the workday to see how he's doing.
- After our son started doing solids, the included meals from school have been helpful. For anything you are trying to avoid, you would fill out a intake form to provide those updates. They have an on-site chef.
If you do decide to go with Primrose, Reena and her wonderful administration will get you set up. There are a series of forms to fill out to have your little one all set up in the system. Photography is also on the forms where you give consent for how Primrose uses your child's photos. Vaccination schedules will also need to be provided after your child visits the doctor.
We have been quite happy with how our son has been doing since deciding to go with Primrose. If more information is needed, general information is available via their website, where you can also see pictures of the staff.
If you are curious if your future little one or already out and about little one would flourish, reach out to Primrose of 4S Ranch for a call to discuss and a tour. You won't know if you don't come in yourself to check it out.

We recently moved to the area, and I can’t say enough wonderful things about Primrose of 4S Ranch. From the very first day, the entire team has gone above and beyond to make my boys feel comfortable, supported, and cared for. Moving can be a big adjustment for kids, but the warmth and kindness of the staff made the transition so much smoother.
The teachers and leadership team are truly amazing – attentive, nurturing, and always willing to go the extra mile. They’ve created such a positive environment where my boys are not only learning and growing, but also genuinely happy to be every day. It’s clear how much pride they take in their work and how much they care about each child.
I’m so grateful to have found Primrose of 4S Ranch. Knowing that my boys are in such capable, loving hands gives me so much peace of mind. Highly recommend this school to any family looking for a safe, welcoming, and enriching place for their children.

My son has attended Primrose from age 2 - 4 yrs old and it was the perfect fit for our family. The staff is warm and professional with excellent communication. They were instrumental in our potty training journey supporting me as a new parent as well as my son. The school lunches were also a great help not only for me but also for my "particular" eater. They exposed him to new, healthy foods, and helped him expand and try new things. As he grew, so did the curriculum and it has been incredible to watch him develop his vocabulary, learn to write letters, and develop socially as well. Primrose has also been supportive for me as working mom, knowing I'm always leaving my son in the best hands so I can focus on work during the day and pick up a happy boy in the evenings.
