Primrose School of Andover is an accredited daycare located in the Andover area that offers infant, toddler, preschool, pre-kindergarten and kindergarten programs. For over 40 years Primrose preschools has been a trusted household name and a nationally recognized daycare provider committed to forging a path that leads to a brighter future for all children.
We’ve had such a wonderful experience at Primrose School of Andover. From day one, the teachers and staff have been incredibly warm, attentive, and genuinely invested in our child's growth and happiness. The classrooms are bright, clean (Yay!!!), and thoughtfully organized. We started at three days a week and now we are doing 5 days and the transition has been seamless.
What I love most is how much care they show for each child as an individual. Our son is so excited to go to school each day, and it’s been amazing to see his confidence, social skills, and independence grow. Communication is excellent!! There are daily updates, photos, and a real sense that we’re partners. It is such a relief for a parent that is new to the childcare world.
As a parent, finding a place you can truly trust with your little ones is priceless, and we feel so lucky to be part of the Primrose Andover family. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a nurturing, safe, and inspiring environment for their child.

We’ve been very impressed with the curriculum and the teachers at Primrose School of Andover. It feels like a great balance of a structured institution (great lessons, pristine facilities, etc) and personal attention. Our preschool teacher does my daughters hair every day and calls her “sweet girl” on her way out. Urvi, the owner took the time to add post-it note to a backpack of a classmate my daughter wanted to connect with outside of the school. They also provide balanced snacks and lunches. Overall, it just feels like my daughter is in safe hands, thriving and learning a lot!
