We absolutely love this school! My 4-year-old daughter, Emma, has learned so much since starting here, and we couldn’t be happier with her progress. The teachers are wonderful – caring, patient, and truly dedicated to helping each child grow. The environment feels warm and welcoming, and we can see how much Emma enjoys going every day. It’s amazing to watch her develop new skills and confidence thanks to their guidance. Highly recommend this school to any parent looking for a nurturing and inspiring place for their child.

From day one my wife and I knew Primrose School at LR was going to be the best option for our daughter. Almost one year later the amazing staff and exceptional learning environment have more than exceeded our expectations.

My children have scores of "Exceeding Expectations" on the state tests which to me is one of the most important factors of a school. The teachers are wonderful and the front desk staff know everyone's name as they enter into the building each morning - children and adults. I would highly recommend.

Our son has been at Primrose School since he was 16 months old and will soon be 5. We could have not asked for a better place to send him. The staff is experienced, caring and friendly. Our son has grown and learned so much in their structured, educational and fun environment. I would highly recommend this school. We love Primrose!

I am very disappointed in this school, I would never send my son there. When I went to look at the school, I loved it! It is very clean and looks like a great school, and its in a great neighborhood! The problem was the food. I feed my son healthy food and this school has anything but that. They feed them canned fruits and veggies and other nasty things, and besides that fact, when I asked if I could pack my sons lunch I was told no, that isn't allowed. The woman straight up told me "We don't allow packed lunches because its too much work for the teachers to get all the kids lunches out at lunch time." When I told them that my son had a wheat and dairy allergy, she told me, literally in her words "Oh, kids with allergies don't do well here, they have to eat what our lunch lady prepares and most of it has wheat and dairy." I asked her to talk to the owner to see if maybe they could make an exception because I liked the school and curriculum that much, and so she emailed her. The next day she told me that the owner said no that isn't acceptable because then they would have to let all the kids bring homemade lunches. I left it at that. My son was young and also had a bottle for nap time which they said was OK until I told them it was almond milk, not cows milk. They said "well we are a nut free environment because we have some kids with nut allergies." which made no sense since they just told me they didn't cater to allergies. I was fed up. Luckily I found a better school that was cheaper and actually served all organic and preservative free food. I wouldn't recommend this school if your child has allergies, if you want them to eat healthy foods or pack their lunches.
