I really like primrose. They make us feel like we are part of a family not just another daycare to drop our kid. Staff are always happy and friendly. There education programs are great. My son has learned a lot and is being prepared for kindergarten. School is clean and they give kids good food. My son is always happy to go there and that tells me that they treat him good. So happy we made the decision to take our kid there.

We’ve had our two year old at primrose for about 7 months now and it’s been a great experience. I find management very responsive and transparent, they are very good with updating us on his daily activities, they are able to accommodate our dietary restrictions and his teachers are great! We did have a lot of turnover in his class for a bit but I think they handled it well and were able to substitute teachers quickly. If I ever need updates on him they are pretty quick to respond and I like the curriculum and activities. Most days he is really excited to go there too which is probably the biggest indicator for me that they are doing it right (I say most days cause… toddlers😂)

We had 2 children that attended for 2 years before we pulled them out. While curriculum was decent, the lack of transparency from management proved to be the deciding factor. While a teacher was being investigated in our son's class, they chose not to inform the parents even though three teachers in that pod left unexpectedly and on the same day.
In addition, management was incredibly slow or completely unresponsive to parent concerns (via both email and phone), which is unacceptable.
7 teachers directly expressed to me that they were unhappy at Primrose.
There are better alternatives out there. Don't get roped in by the salesmanship.

This place is being bombarded by bad reviews from a bunch of covid cookoos. The reviews are outright false and should be ignored the school is easily a 5 star experience. The pre-school curriculum is arguably the best of all the day cares in the area.

We have had such an incredible year at Primrose thus far - I cannot begin to list all the wonderful things about this place because it would take far too long. But, I'll do my best to summarize. The staff is exceptional, kind, and goes above and beyond to meet my children's needs as well as mine as the parent. We were exceptionally nervous about putting our 3-year-old and little 8-month-old into daycare for the first time, but they have done nothing but excelled since attending Primrose.
The owner is phenomenal and I cannot say enough kind words about him. We are just so grateful to have found a SAFE, FRIENDLY, and EDUCATIONAL program. HIGHLY recommend.
