- KHKaisha HeemskerkAug 11, 20255.0High recommend Primrose for your littles ones! Our little one loves going to school each day and special shout out to Mrs. Sydney for taking such good care of him since day one. The entire team from drop off and pick up are welcoming and you always catch a smiling face when you walk in. Rhea and the team are very responsive to any concerns we have with our little guy especially being more attentive to him when he has shown symptoms of being under the weather. Thank you, we appreciate you!
- JGJordan Llewellyn GossJun 10, 20255.0Where do I begin?! We were back and forth between Primrose and a Montessori school. Both looked good on paper. But man, the entire staff at Primrose is TOP notch which is ultimately what sold us. Their attention to detail and positive energy has created such a nurturing environment. I genuinely believe they are invested in my child’s development vs just another dollar sign. They have a very high accreditation score by Cognia, so they definitely have strong educational and operational standards! Also, my kid loves their shaded firetruck playground especially since the building is next to an actual fire station. They also have a privacy fence facing the busy street which makes me feel safe and the kids have more seclusion.
- LCLauren CornwellMar 25, 20255.0I can't say enough wonderful things about Primrose of West Des Moines. The teachers and directors are patient, knowledgeable, and truly passionate about helping children grow. From the moment we first toured we have felt right at home and completely confident that our childs needs are being taken care of. I highly recommend Primrose of West Des Moines and wouldn't take my daughter anywhere else!
