Our daughter has been attending Primrose since she was 11 months old, and our son attended VPK for one year and we couldn't be happier with the experience they've had there. Now at 6 and 3 years old, we’ve seen our little ones grow in so many beautiful ways—socially, emotionally, and developmentally—all thanks to the caring and attentive team at this daycare.
From the very beginning, the staff made us feel welcomed and supported. They took the time to get to know our kiddos, understand their personalities, and help them transition comfortably into a new environment. Every teacher has been incredibly nurturing, patient, and clearly passionate about working with children.
We’ve been continuously impressed by the variety of age-appropriate activities and how thoughtfully the curriculum is designed. Whether it’s arts and crafts, music time, outdoor play, or early learning skills, each day brings something new and enriching. Our daughter comes home excited to tell us what she did and who she played with, which speaks volumes about how much she enjoys her time there.
Communication with parents has also been outstanding. We always feel informed about her day, milestones, and any updates, and the staff is responsive and easy to talk to. It's clear they genuinely care not just about our daughter’s well-being, but about creating a community where families feel connected.
We feel incredibly lucky to have found Primrose and we’re so grateful for the loving, supportive foundation they’ve provided our daughter and son during these important early years.

My daughter has been attending Primrose for the past year, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. She’s about to turn 4, and in just one year, she has learned so much — not just academically, but socially and emotionally as well. The teachers are incredibly nurturing, and the curriculum is thoughtfully designed to keep the kids engaged and curious.
She has made so many wonderful friends and is genuinely excited to go to school every day. It’s such a comfort as a parent to know that she’s in a safe, supportive environment where she is thriving. I’m so grateful for the love and care the entire staff shows our children. Highly recommend Primrose to any family looking for a high-quality early education program!
