Primrose School of Erie at Vista Ridge is an accredited daycare located in the Erie area that offers infant, toddler, preschool, pre-kindergarten and kindergarten programs. For over 40 years Primrose preschools has been a trusted household name and a nationally recognized daycare provider committed to forging a path that leads to a brighter future for all children.
Five stars falls so short of what this school means to our family. Through the past 7 years, Primrose was our constant - a place where our children were not only safe, but cherished, nurtured, mentored, and grown. It’s hard to imagine what our lives, or our daughters, would look like without Primrose School of Erie, without the countless people that have come into our lives because of this school. Our girls continue to thrive academically, socially, and emotionally, and I attribute this success to the partnership we had with Primrose in those foundational years. There is not enough thanks in the world for what they have given us and our girls. So I write this review, as an ordinary mom who’s constantly trying to do the right thing for our kids, hoping it helps another family out there trying to make a decision. Primrose is a choice I would make 1000 times over again.

I have been meaning to give a review for awhile now!
We have two kiddos here and are continuing on into the private kindergarten with our oldest. (I think we're going on 3 years now)! We love the teachers and faculty! Very low turn over with teachers, I always feel safe leaving them and love the variety of activities. Staff up front is extremely professional and I love how whoever walks in the door they know the children and their families. So glad for the piece of mind to have found such a wonderful preschool!
