Primrose Heathrow/Lake Mary is amazing for daycare, pre-school & aftercare. Both of my daughters attended Primrose for approximately 6 years after my oldest daughter had attended 2 other schools in the area. We were so fortunate to find a wonderful school for their remaining early years. Best in the area.

Primrose has been blessing to us, my husband and I are essential worker like many out there. We are working parents without any support. Myself as a wife, mother and clinician I don’t know sometime how can I leave kid at daycare while I focus on work and focus on patients. Primrose has been that support as we go through our daily huddle. I can’t appreciate enough how safe they keep my kid there. Today when I dropped him off, he ran to his school in hallway, right in his classroom and waved bye bye. Teachers loves him and he loves his teachers.
