- WHWade HanseOct 27, 20255.0After experiencing a house fire and an abrupt relocation, one of our greatest anxieties was how our daughter would adjust to a new environment. What was once one of our biggest worries has turned out to be one of the few blessings of this stressful time, thanks to Primrose Gainesville. From day one, the leadership, teachers, and staff have been exceptional. Every person we’ve encountered is genuinely attuned to the needs of both students and families. The warmth, care, and attention to detail that the Primrose team demonstrates each day have made all the difference in our daughter’s transition. Not only has she adjusted, but she is absolutely thriving. As parents, we simply could not be happier. People are the heart of any great school, and Primrose Gainesville is no exception—they’ve built a community that reflects both professionalism and genuine compassion. We are so grateful for the incredible impact they’ve had on our family.
- ECelizabeth caudilloAug 7, 20255.0i like how everyone is really friendly and know my daughter by name. Everyone always seems to be be in a good mood. They communicate very well, I always know how my daughter is doing and I love that they send pictures throughout the day.
- KHKayla HuftillJun 13, 20253.0Went on a tour today. The director is very nice and friendly and knowledgeable. The front was well put together and clean. Once I went to the classrooms I was disappointed. The classes were dirty. Walls were dirty. The rooms smelled bad. Not an odor of diapers but an odor that felt like it is not maintained well. Smelled like moisture and humidity. The kids were high energy throwing toys and blocks. They did not seem stimulated at all. The teachers did not acknowledge my daughter or I. They looked unhappy. The room was bland and very outdated. No imagination used in their rooms. Cots piled up with blankets hanging out of them. Like there is no organization or cleanliness or pride in their rooms. I spoke to the director about all of this so she can be aware of my concerns. I also asked about cameras, they only have cameras in the front and not in the class rooms. That is concerning as a parent because if my daughter is injured I would like proof as to how this happened and make sure it was not a teacher who may have caused injury. So if you are looking for somewhere with cameras do not bother touring this facility as it will not be a good fit. It felt as though the owners do not invest their money into the class rooms for the kids. She states they have new owners who have been there a little over a year and they will start some renovations this upcoming week such as removing popcorn ceilings and painting. That’s great but they should also invest in the classrooms for the kids to have better toys. Even the older kids who attend over the summer barley fit into the chairs provided there. It was just sad and I felt like if I put my daughter there I would definitely be doing wrong by her. What they say they provide and what I saw just does not align and seems like there is a disconnect between management and the classrooms.
