We were at Primrose Candelas for Pre-K only and it was a phenomenal experience. My kids were more than prepared for Kindergarten and adored their teachers. The curriculum provided was exactly what they needed to excel in their first year of elementary school.

We have been at Primrose Candelas for nearly two years with kids in the infant, toddler, preschool, and summer camp levels. The teachers have been wonderful---very attentive and caring with all the kids and showing genuine concern for their wellbeing and development. The administration demonstrates that, too, and I feel comfortable talking about any concerns or support we might need. The admin always welcome us by name and show excitement to see the kids every morning. Our kids are very happy at Primrose Candelas!

We love Primrose @ Candelas. Going back to work with a 12 week old in daycare was daunting but they quickly built my confidence that he was safe in their care. All of the staff has been so welcoming and caring since day 1, quickly knowing all of us by name and giving our tiny little guy the extra attention and care he needed being so new to the world! Now he is 7 months and thriving; he's become such a social butterfly and smiles at his teachers when he sees them. Daycare went from being a nerve-wracking, guilt-ridden experience as a mom to one of the best things for our family and little babe. :)
