We absolutely love Primrose! From the moment we walked in, I felt at ease knowing my child would be cared for in such a safe, loving, and nurturing environment. The teachers are incredible and invested in each child’s growth and happiness. Every day my little one comes home smiling, having learned someone new. The communication with us has been great from day 1, the early days where I felt so anxious about everything to toddlerhood. I always feel informed about my child’s day. The facility is clean, safe and thoughtfully designed for kids. Most importantly, I can see how much the staff genuinely care about the kids, and that gives me peace of mind. Primrose has become an extension of our family!

So many things to love about Primrose of Athens. With both of our children attending, we have been so happy with the quality of care and learning that is provided. We love that the children are never watching shows, and there is structured learning for all classes. We’ve been so happy to see them acclimate so well each time there is a class transition. We love getting feedback from the teachers and seeing updates on our kiddos through the app. Additionally, we love that the school is such a positive environment. Teachers and admin always say hello in the hallways and make the kids and parents feel welcome. We have loved having our kids be a part of the Primrose family!

From the moment we walked through the doors, I knew my son was in a safe, nurturing, and loving environment. The staff treated him like family—genuinely caring about his well-being, development, and happiness every single day.
The communication was always clear and consistent, and I appreciated the regular updates, photos, and notes about his progress. The activities were both educational and fun, helping him grow socially, emotionally, and academically in ways that truly amazed me.
What stood out most was the warmth and patience of the teachers. They always made time for every child and truly understood each child’s unique personality and needs. I always felt confident dropping him off, knowing he was being cared for with kindness and professionalism.
This daycare played a huge part in my son’s early development, and I’ll always be grateful for the positive impact it had on him (and on me as a parent). Highly recommend to any family looking for more than just childcare—this place is a second home.

I do not have adequate words to express how much I love Primrose. Before moving to Athens, I toured several daycares around town. Primrose had not opened their doors for business yet, but they allowed us to tour the facility. We had so much confidence in the owners and the future team they would build out that we enrolled our kids on the spot. That was four years ago, and they have continually exceeded all of our initial expectations. They care for their students, give them exceptional education, and go above and beyond to communicate with parents. It is – hands down – the best decision we’ve made for our children, and I am truly grateful for everything Primrose does for them.
