- CLCourtney Leemon3 days ago5.0Primrose is an incredible school with fantastic educators. Our 2 year old has loved every moment of her experience there and we highly recommend it. As a former early educator myself, I was apprehensive about where to take my daughter and they have surpassed my expectations. Please give them a try and you won’t be disappointed!

- MHMegan HartJun 2, 20255.0Leaving Primrose School of Rochester is truly bittersweet for our family. Both of my daughters had the privilege of attending this incredible school, and as we prepare to move, it’s hard to put into words just how grateful we are for the years we’ve spent here. From the very beginning, the staff and leadership team upheld the highest standards — not only in academic excellence, but in emotional and social development as well. They guided my children through some of the most formative years of their lives with such warmth, professionalism, and care. Their outstanding curriculum sets Primrose apart— fostering growth through play, emotional intelligence, creativity, and curiosity. As a parent, there is no greater comfort than knowing your children are safe, loved, and thriving — I was able to head to work each day with complete peace of mind, trusting they were in the very best hands. The entire team was also incredibly responsive and supportive — always accommodating our needs and going above and beyond, especially when it came to my younger daughter’s food allergies. I always felt heard, respected, and supported in my parenting choices. We’re heartbroken to say goodbye, but we leave with so much gratitude in our hearts and memories that will last a lifetime. Thank you, Primrose, for giving our family the best start possible. :)
- JJJonMar 3, 20232.0My 4 year old son had a period where he was a little aggressive. His wonderful teachers worked with us to help him make some big improvements. By their own account, he was doing wonderfully. This continued even after the great teachers quit and the replacements were… not as great. A few months later, he got sick (needed surgery). He had a couple rough days spread over a few weeks. Then, suddenly, and *completely out of the blue* we got a call from the director stating he was expelled. Immediately. She claimed that they’d done all they could do. She claimed that they’d been communicating extensively, calling with concerns, sending emails, etc, etc. Unfortunately, that is 100% false. There were no emails, there were no calls (I double checked). At best, the director mistakenly thought someone was communicating when they weren’t, and a kid got expelled suddenly for struggles directly related to a reversible medical condition. At worst, she’s a scrupulous liar. In any case, not the kind of person I’d trust the well-being of my child to. About the rating of 2/5 stars - some of the staff deserve 5 stars (Ms. Jaime, Ms July). Some teachers were simply okay. So -1 star there. Expelling my kid? Not necessarily a problem. Sometimes it’s the right thing to do. Expelling any kid because their temporary medical problem is inconvenient, then lying about it, -2 stars (at least) there.
