They called CPS on us lol. I didn’t have such a good experience with this school. We were renovating our home so we had to stay in a hotel for a few months. So her hair wasn’t styled we would just brush it & send her in. They called CPS & told them we’re neglecting her by not styling her hair like usual. Mind you I’m a multimillionaire so we can afford anything she needs. I laugh at it looking back now. But just strange.

Both of my sons attend this daycare, and we absolutely love it! The amount they’ve learned since starting here is incredible — it’s clear that the staff and teachers really put effort into helping the kids grow in every way. But just as important, I can tell they’re truly having fun every day.
The environment is welcoming, the activities are engaging, and the care they receive gives me complete peace of mind. The teachers and staff are not only professional but also so kind, patient, and attentive. It really feels like a second home for our boys.
We’re so grateful to have found this place — it’s made a huge difference for our family!

Primrose has been our home away from home for our little boy, and soon will be the same for our little girl! Every single person - from front desk staff to teachers to the chef - is incredibly kind, welcoming, loving, and so good to our boy. We want to sing it from the rooftops how much we love Primrose Carollwood! They have become family!

Primrose is an exceptional school. Our son has improved in his speech and communication skills after only 5 months in the school. He enrolled in January 2025. This was his first social setting since birth. He has made friends, become outspoken and outgoing. This was the perfect nurturing environment that our son needed. We are happy and will greatly miss the school because our son graduated in May.

Both of my children have attended Primrose since 2015. I cannot say enough wonderful things about this school. The teachers and leadership have helped my children grow and learn in ways that I never expected. It takes a village to raise children and Primrose of Carrollwood IS my village. I cannot ever repay them for the kindness, love and education they have given to our family.
