Primrose at WestClay has been like a second home to my son! The teachers are outstandingly amazing! The love and care that the diverse set of teachers show is something I haven’t seen anywhere else. They invest in every child in such a great way that it provides perfectly warm and nurturing environment for a child to grow and learn. My son simply loves it here!
It would be a miss if I didn’t callout the amazing leadership provided by Kendra Dunagan! It is quite apparent how her leadership empowers and enables the warm atmosphere at this school! Her humility and nurturing spirit are the cornerstone of her leadership!
I would highly recommend this school to
anyone looking to enroll their kid!

My toddler started at Primrose about 6 months ago and we could not be happier with our experience. He absolutely loves going to "school" everyday and gets excited to see his friends and teachers. They follow a curriculum that keeps kids engaged while learning and playing. We are amazed by all of the things he has learned and new skills he has developed. I've been thoroughly impressed with how the school has communicated with parents throughout the pandemic. It was difficult to come to a new daycare and not be able take our son inside or chit chat with his teachers, but communication has not been an issue with use of an app and the responsiveness of all teachers and staff.
