- MRMaria RoseDec 31, 20251.0I’m aware of a situation involving a family at this school that raised concerns for me. A parent advocating for their child did not feel respected or supported by a teacher. I encourage prospective families to gather information carefully and decide what feels aligned for their child. This school may or may not be enabling child abuse.
- CBChristopher BlickDec 22, 20255.0I really love this place. The teachers are great, the facility is great and I feel very good about taking my kid here.
- LMLiz McFaddinOct 30, 20255.0We transferred to Primrose Lafayette from another school and how we wish we made the change sooner! We have a very attached, sensitive toddler. She was crying all the time at her old school and I’d get calls for her being inconsolable and refusing to engage in class activities, but the advice given by school leadership was that she needed to grow up because she’ll have to be in kindergarten one day. We finally decided that we needed to find a different option or I’d need to quit my job… this was not something we could subject our child to any longer. Cue a coworker telling me about their amazing experiences at Primrose Lafayette! Thank goodness there was an immediate opening in early preschool so we could make this transition. Day one- engagement in most, if not all, class activities. One week in- and our 2yo is talking about to us about her teachers and saying other kids names. Second week in and she is giving her teachers hugs goodbye. She is thriving after being here for over a month now. Fall picture day recently occurred and you can just see pure joy radiating in her poses. Everything is right again for our child, and I can have the mental security going to work knowing she’s in a happy and emotionally-safe place. Thank you Primrose Lafayette and Ms Saliha, Ms Merve, and Ms Jackie. You all saved our family <3
- MBMeagan BlakeOct 1, 20255.0We just transferred to Primrose after 6 months at another facility we didn't love and we have just seen such an amazing change. We feel better, our son is happier and we've felt the difference form "babysitting" to truly educational learning for our little one. The staff is fantastic, the environment is nurturing and the team went above & beyond for us when we lost my son's favorite lovey to help us get it back. It shows how much they truly care, and that is the most important thing! We're so impressed with how engaged the teachers are, how patient they are with each child's unique differences, and how much they interact with kiddos. They're on their feet doing crafts, playing games and helping kids communicate the whole day. They've been so patient as my son adjusts to the change, worked through temper tantrums at drop off, give him cuddles when he needs them, and have really helped him come out of his shell with his peers. There aren't enough words to express how important that is to us as we get our late bloomer caught up on his milestones. We couldn't be happier with the switch and can't recommend this Primrose enough!
- JNJacob NobleSep 29, 20255.0The teachers and staff are friendly and have made strong connections with my kiddo. He comes home and loves showing me the art projects he made or re-enacting his lessons (where he gets to be the teacher)! They have extra curricular offerings every day which add variety and enrichment which he loves. When he was having behavioral issues they were quick to let me know and come up with specific supports to get him back on track. Primrose has really helped to shape who he is and I'm so grateful!
