My daughter has attended this Primrose location from Preschool to Pre-K- I wish we had found it sooner! She has loved every teacher throughout her time here, and absolutely loves going to school! I am always confident that she is safe, loved, and well cared for every time I drop her off. Thank you for always treating my daughter as one of your own!

Since our initial meeting with Amy at Primrose, we have had an exceptional experience. The care and attention they pay each and every student is fantastic. The office staff as well as all of the teachers are kind, welcoming, and always willing to help. I have seen my daughter progress and grow so much since starting Primrose. I am confident that she is loved and nurtured and encouraged to be her absolute best self.

We love the Primrose School. We have been here since it opened and my son was in the Toddler room. He has learned so much in his time there. Now in Pre-K, he talks about how much he loves when Mrs. Lentz reads to him, and how excited he gets when Ms. Howard helps him grow strawberries in the Primrose Patch. He also enjoys art and all the fun extra activities we get to do. He loves telling people about his school!

We have been at Primrose for about 18 months so far and can't imagine sending our little one anywhere else! Every single person on the staff is friendly and truly cares about the well-being of every child in their care. The curriculum is incredible and the team goes above and beyond each and every day. We love being part of the Primrose family!
