The Assistant Director Nanet speaking to people in a rude, condescending way and speaking to teachers in a way that just isn't appropriate in her role. Instead of creating a positive, respectful environment, her attitude makes things tense and uncomfortable. Someone in her position should be setting a better example. I will not provide my personal details to avoid retaliation to my son.

We have been a Primrose School of Arden Hills and Shoreview family for going on 5 years now, enrolling both of our sons as infants. We were drawn to Primrose for its curriculum and transparency into the curriculum, discipline around hiring high-quality staff, and commitment to community, caring, and development. From the moment we toured the school, we knew Primrose was organized and passionate about nurturing children of all ages and needs. The amenities - from the healthy meals (thank you Chef Tracy!) to the safe playground areas completed the feeling that Primrose would provide our children with a well-rounded academic experience with activities geared towards their social, emotional, and physical development.
We have been so impressed with the skills both boys have developed at school and feel that Primrose is setting them up for success in Kindergarten and Elementary School. We have also been impressed with the consistency in other students and teachers, which speaks to the quality of experience Primrose provides not only for our kids but to the other families and teachers.
Teachers and leadership at Primrose approach situations (positive or negative) with a communicative, collaborative approach, and work with families to develop the best path forward. They all have gone the extra mile to work with us and our children, discuss expectations, and help play a key role in mastering these milestones!

We love the care and education that our kids receive from Primrose. All of their teachers have been exceptional. Leadership has always listened to our concerns and worked through any situations with us instead of ignoring or taking a hands-off approach. Highly recommend!

The staff are wonderful and truly care about the kids. My first child is thriving in Kindergarten, and I know it's because she was so well prepared in Preschool and Pre-K at Primrose both academically and emotionally.
