  Bringing our son to Primrose was without a doubt, the best decision my wife and I made when we decided our son's previous care provider was no longer the best choice. Our son has been at Primrose for the past 6 months and the results are remarkable. Attitude it great, life skills are ahead of the curve and the knowledge he has gained is superior. Primrose is not only a structured environment but they have weekly lesson plans that outline the knowledge, skills or tasks for the week. Having had our son at one of the top nationally recognized day care providers, Primrose is at the top of their game. Now let’s talk about the staff. The proprietors, Mr. and Mrs. Daniel's, not only know how to run a business, but both have a long extensive background in childcare. Both always greet you when you arrive and inquire if your needs are being met. They always are interested in you and always stop to give you the time of day. Then there is Ruthann Dalzell, Director. This wonderful woman not only greets with you a smile, but is personable and is quick to resolve any issues you may have. Her background in child care totals over 20 years of experience and she was a director at another business before her tenure at Primrose. Ruthann is helpful, warm and will always answer you needs. Wait, I have more… Ruthann's Assistant Directors, Kim Butler and Sara Vayo are top notch and bring a combined 30 plus years of experience and service in the child care field. I'm not sure if it’s what Primrose demands from their staff but Kim and Sara are caring, attentive, educated and always have an answer to your question. They definitely care about you as a person and the needs of every family that attends Primrose. Lastly, we love our son's teacher and that she cares for the children as one of her own. Her craft for growing young children shows not only when I drop off/pickup my son, but in what I discover from his daily activities. In summary, I could go on and on with the wonderful critique of Primrose and their staff, but I think you get the idea Scott Frost Proud Parent and Customer

  Our 19-month old daughter has been attending the Primrose School of Algonquin for almost a year now and we continue to be impressed by the uncompromising excellence of all facets of the school. From the teachers, to the chef to the Directors and owners we've received nothing but the best service. As all new parents are, we were a little nervous to begin the daycare process. All of those fears were put aside during our first visit to Primrose. There we met with the wonderful Director, Ruthann. To date we have never met someone with such warmth and care. Even after the school has grown considerably and despite I'm sure having plenty of other responsibilities, she makes time to spend with each child and is involved in their growth and development. In addition, whenever we have a question or request anything big or small, Ruthann is extremely responsive and understanding. She was the main reason we decided to entrust Primrose with our baby. Beyond Ruthann, what keeps us coming back is the wonderful teachers and staff! Each and every teacher our daughter has been with has made a lasting impression. Our daughter will be moving to her third class (Toddlers) shortly, graduating from the Infant and Young Toddler rooms. Each time a move is hard since our daughter loves each and every teacher. Mrs. Lambert and Mrs. Wajda in the infant room were fantastic! Our daughter gets a little separation anxiety as most kids do at a young age, but Mrs. Lambert knew exactly how to make her feel comfortable. To the point where she didn't want to leave when we come pick her up. Mrs. Lambert still makes an effort to visit with our daughter outside her normal class schedule. In her current class (Young Toddlers), Mrs. Naumann, Mrs. Potter and Ms. Hintz are amazing teachers! They take such great care of our daughter. They take the time to walk us through her day every day and let us know of any milestones or key activities. I also can't say enough about the Asst. Director Mrs. Vayo, curriculum director Mrs. Butler and owners the Daniel's! I'm sure I've left plenty other folks out. Kudos to the Daniel's for assembling such a wonderful team. Primrose maintains a safe, clean and nurturing facility combining the best in caregiving with a proven academic curriculum. My wife and I are excited to pick up our daughter each day to see what new art project she has done, words/sign language she has learned. Primrose provides a daily report card that makes us feel like we were a part of her day. We can't imagine taking our daughter or future kids anywhere else. We highly recommend and endorse the Primrose School of Algonquin. Primrose has become an extension of our family and we are proud to be a part of theirs. Sincerely, The Jarosinski Family
