- CRCarol RJul 22, 20255.0Primrose provided afterschool care for our son and an incredible experience for him on many levels. The level of contribution to his wellbeing socially, academically, and beyond was exceptional and I was very grateful for his time here! He grew in his creative skills as well and his little personality was able to be unique and shine among each amazing student there. The faculty and staff were always very communicative on every level needed, for any reason. We were always greeted with a smile and a warm welcome. They were always polite, respectful, understanding, cooperative, and honestly went the extra mile when needed now and then to truly provide the best experience possible for our little one and peace of mind for us as parents. If our son didn't grow up so fast he would still be at Primrose - nothing but great things to say about this wonderful program and staff!
- MSMary SvihraNov 3, 20235.0If you’re looking for a place with outstanding communication between parents and staff, phenomenal attention to detail, and a real love for the profession of teaching young children, this is the place for you and your family. As a parent, it gives me so much comfort to know that not only am I leaving my child in a safe place, but that I am also providing them with a fantastic education, nutritious meals, and additional love from the many teachers that work together to support their growth. The academic and social emotional learning that takes place is unmatched. It’s worth every penny. Primrose is worth every penny. I could go on an on, but I will leave it there. Go take a tour and see for yourself!
- PKPaul KruschelJun 23, 20185.0We can’t put into words how much we love this school and how thankful we are that our daughter has been able to learn, grow, and be loved by all the teachers at primrose. We contribute the happy, fun-loving girl she is to this school and her teachers. As new parents we had all the normal nerves and anxiety about putting our daughter in daycare when it came time to go back to work. I once cried to my husband “what if she cries? Who will take care of her”. We are serious when we tell you that after day 1 all those fears and worries went away. Although our daughter is in a class with other infants she receives all the love, dedication, and attention that we would give her at home. And we can tell you...when she cries, they love on her and do everything they can to make her feel better. We’ve also appreciated all the things we learn from the teachers and the activities we see our daughter doing (for example, the first time we saw her sitting in a chair...happened at school; the first time we saw her painting...happened at school). They do so much for her that as new parents we would have never even had tried or known to do with her had it not been for this school (for example, they tell me when she’s ready for a new nipple size or it’s time to go up in diapers). In other words, they do the heavy lifting while we get to enjoy my cuddle and home time with her because of all the things they do for and with her. Lastly, the tadpole app they use is amazing...it’s great for knowing what your babies nap, eat, and diaper changes are and we love seeing daily pictures of all the fun moments my daughter has with her friends at school. If you’re looking for an amazing school with a great staff (shoutout to Ms. Emily and Ms. Tracey for everything they do!), then this is it.
