- CECaitlin Blackwell EisenbarthJan 20, 20225.0We are so happy with our decision to send our daughter to Primrose at St John’s Forest. We moved from out of state and our move-in day kept getting pushed back. The Director, Ms. Walker, was so kind and communicative when I had to push our start date back multiple times. She assured me that her spot would be waiting for her. Her teachers have been absolutely fabulous!! Even the front desk staff know my daughter by name and are so warm and welcoming. We are so glad we found such a wonderful school in our new community!
