I had both of my children attend Primrose from 11 weeks to VPK and after care after staring kindergarten. Mrs. Wise goes out of her way to support and appreciate each child, knowing their names and temperaments personally.
While an ownership change during our tenure led to some staff turnover, process changes, things seem to be stabilizing now. Primrose and Mrs. Wise were flexible in adapting the support and schedule to meet my child's unique needs, ensuring he was supported in the environment. They allowed my speech therapist and occupational therapist to go into the classroom and create unique support mechanisms for my son to be successful.
Ultimately, their flexibility and support of my child’s unique needs was appreciated and helped in his overall development.

If you’re looking for a daycare where the teachers and owner care, look no further. Mr. Coombs (owner) went out of his way to help my family and make us feel comfortable and safe. He’s beyond helpful and so are his staff. I cannot speak more highly. Snag a spot for your kids if you can!!!
