  Picking a daycare was scary. My wife and I were completely new to this and truthfully, we were hoping to have our child attend a different place. We lucked out when Primrose accepted us in March 2025. Amber (Director) and Kyra were awesome onboarding us. Our child was pretty resistant for a month or so but Ms. Brenda and Ms. Jasmine were absolutely wonderful in the toddler room. I am pretty sure our child required a little extra attention because he wasn't the best at napping or eating... it honestly improved after a few months with Brenda and Jasmine. Our child has transitioned to early preschool (2.5 years and up) and it went much better than anticipated. Ms. Amber (teacher), Ms. Brooke, and Ms. Madison have been everything we needed and more. They are practically potty training for us...

  We have been at this Primrose for almost 5 years now, both kids having attended, and were at a different primrose before that when we lived elsewhere. Our oldest did very well in the school but graduated more than two years ago. Our youngest has been enrolled for two years and seen many classrooms as they have grown. The last year has been disappointing to say the least. There have been numerous staff and leadership turnover over and from what I can only believe to be a culture that influences the negative habits demonstrated by teachers and leadership. We have had days where we are asked to sign multiple incident reports with no discussions to prevent them from happening again. And then they do happen, again and again and again. The patterns over numerous classrooms imply the care givers are not being attentive enough to the children. It would be reasonable to assume that after a child has been in a class for a while, the “teachers” would understand how to best care for those students and what particulars may require heighten attention given. I would get 0 impressions that these teachers want improve the conditions of their classrooms for the safety of the children. We also see a trend where the staff find any reason to send the kids home early. Getting calls when they are “excessively fussy” and need to be picked up. There are holiday events planned at 3pm where parents are expected to be present (and passive-aggressively shamed if they are not), essentially requiring you to take your kids home before the typical closing time at 5:30pm. These events occur often and with little advanced notice. This shaming culture is incredibly stressful for working parents and creates a situation where the kids can feel excluded or left out. Other care facilities plan similar community building events but with start times closer to the end of the day, not 2.5 hours before the end of the day. To top it all off, we recently gave notice that we were un-enrolling our youngest due to the above mentioned safety concerns and before her last day they performed developmental assessments. The comments and reported progress were very misaligned from the developmental milestones we witness. I can only assume that the person performing the assessment doesn’t spend much time with our youngest or was intentionally reporting below development actuals as a CYA for their records, knowing we are displeased with the care provided. The school was put on probationary status earlier this year, which makes sense for many of the above listed experiences. They took an excessively long time to notify parents and were guarded with the information they were willing to share about the probation terms. Our history with this school encouraged us to try and stick it out while they worked through their challenges, but we hit our limit. It’s saddening that the experience ended like this when our oldest thrived in this environment, but years passed and the school has changed for the worse.

  My toddler has been attending Torrey Peaks and we couldn't be happier. We recently transitioned from a full-time nanny to full-time daycare and thought the transition was going to be challenging, but all of the staff have made it seamless. Our kiddo is learning faster and I can see pics throughout the day and it's obvious the kids are having fun!

  We can’t say enough wonderful things about Primrose School at Torrey Peaks—it has truly become an extension of our family and our village in raising our children. Our oldest daughter, now 3.5 years old, has been attending since she was just 12 weeks old, and we recently enrolled our 16-week-old as well. From day one, the staff and teachers have been nothing short of incredible—warm, inviting, professional, and genuinely caring. They’ve helped us navigate so many major milestones, from introducing solid foods to potty training, and now our oldest is proudly learning to write her name! We receive daily updates and photos through their app, which gives us peace of mind knowing our children are not only being well cared for, but are also learning and thriving in a safe and nurturing environment. The curriculum is thoughtfully designed and age-appropriate, and it’s been amazing to watch our daughter grow socially, emotionally, and intellectually. Primrose has also been a place where we’ve made lasting friendships with other families. It really takes a village to raise kids, and Primrose at Torrey Peaks is a core part of ours. We’re so grateful for the support, love, and education our children receive here—it’s a special place, and we highly recommend it to any family looking for high-quality care and a true community.

  We have our son in preschool at Primrose. We absolutely love Director Amber. She’s really easy to work with, very understanding and so caring for our whole family. She takes the time to listen to what we need and accommodates accordingly. I am grateful we have her. Our son thrives in his preschool class and we absolutely love his teacher (Miss Liz). Her communication and attention to the kiddos is wonderful.
