Since my daughter has started, the experience has been wonderful! They supported her while she adjusted to the new environment/routine and truly enjoy what they do. Communication is great as well, which is always very appreciated!!!

Amazing school, couldn't be happier. Our oldest started Kindergarten this year after staying at Primrose the previous 2 years and they did an amazing job preparing him for the real deal. Our youngest will be there a few more years and we couldn't be more confident that she will continue to flourish. With the leadership of Kendra, Amanda, Jessica, and Celeste (and many others...too many to name, apologies if I missed ya) they've handled everything gracefully both pre-Covid and beyond
