- 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!
- DNDavid “Dave” NolanSep 22, 20255.0Our kiddo just graduated on to Kindergarten after spending about 2 years at Primrose. We cannot say enough good things about this school and the experience we had. The teachers are world class, and the level of caring they provide each child is truly noteworthy. We saw great strides in our son's development during this time, especially him being a covid baby and having relatively poor social skills going in, but with the focused care and attention he picked up and has been thriving now after starting Kindergarten. I cannot recommend this Primrose enough. Everyone from the directors to the teachers are a unified front, and the safe/warm environment always left me feeling that our kiddo was well taken care of. If they had 6 stars, I would give that to them.
- ECElla CookAug 9, 20255.0We have had 2 kiddos go through Primrose and we (and they) have loved it! Julie and Mariah run a tight ship, we felt so safe leaving our kids in their care from the first day we had to drop them off. The teachers have been so wonderful too--kind, caring, attentive, and so sweet to our kids. Special shoutout to the teachers in the older kid classrooms--Miranda, Delaney, Melanie, and Alaina, these amazing women took such good care of our daughter for the last few years and are just such absolutely warm, wonderful, funny women. Thank you for loving our kids so well!
- CMChad McIntoshMar 6, 20255.0We have had two kids at Primrose Lafayette and have nothing but great things to say. All the teachers were great with our kids and the management staff is so kind, friendly, and organized. The Primrose structure and learning activities worked really well for preparing our son for school. We moved our kids from another daycare, and it was so nice to not stress during the day or at drop-off and pick-up. We also loved the extra enrichment activities they offered; soccer, basketball, music, etc. It was a great opportunity to add activities for our kids without needing to take them somewhere on the weekends or evenings. We can’t say enough positives about this daycare!
