- RKRama KoneruOct 1, 20255.0Our toddler went here for almost 2.5 years and he really loved his time at Primrose. The curriculum is very engaging and fun and there is always something fun going on here. The staff and teachers are very attentive and make your child and you feel special. This is very hard to find in a day care. The facility is very clean and very well maintained. Never had a bad experience and if you looking for a daycare, look no further. Would highly recommend!
- SASekai AguiyaSep 17, 20251.0I had my baby enrolled here for about 3 months, and unfortunately, it was not a good experience. During that time, she constantly had severe diarrhea and diaper rash, and she ended up missing most of her school days because of it. We raised concerns about hygiene, specifically asking that teachers not walk across play mats in outside shoes, but this practice continued. I can’t say for sure whether diapers were changed as often as they should have been, but something wasn’t right. Since leaving this daycare, my baby hasn’t been sick once. Daycare should be a safe and healthy environment for children, but that was not our experience here. I would encourage other parents to look carefully at hygiene practices before enrolling.
- ASAmanda SauberFeb 25, 20215.0We transitioned our son from an in-home daycare around 1 1/2 years of age. We wanted a more structured program with an educational curriculum. We are so happy with our decision to choose Primrose. Our son is excelling and learning so much everyday! Just last night he started counting in Spanish to us. It's this sort of learning that we would not be able to provide ourselves or get from an in-home. We chose Primrose over other centers because we loved the facility. We liked the separation of classrooms, the cleanliness of the facility, care and maintenance of set structures, and of course the friendliness of the staff! I highly recommend Primrose!
- SVSean VinselAug 21, 20175.0Our daughter started at Primrose in March 2016 at 5 months, and has thrived there. The staff is incredibly caring and professional, and the children learn so much. We looked at several centers in the area when we relocated to the Twin Cities, and felt most at home at Primrose of Apple Valley. Our daughter wouldn't want to be anywhere else, and loves every day there. She learns so much, and has made so many friends. We wouldn't go anywhere else for our daughter's development and care!
