- CTChristopher TriplettSep 4, 20255.0Great teachers, great staff. Very communicative with parents about any issues. They engage with the kids and challenge the kids educationally and do regular fun activities with them (Gator Dave, Kona Ice Day, Splash Days during the summer, etc.) - highly recommend!
- CLConstance LeesonJun 16, 20255.0I love this location specifically for the support of the team. I have experienced other Primrose locations and the attention to the curriculum, organization of the classes and schedule, and overall attitude of the teachers and support staff at Primrose Downtown makes me confident to bring my son to school every day. No one likes to be away from their child for such extended periods, but I fully believe that the teachers are adding to my son's education base in ways that I could not and are setting him up to learn well and be kind, outgoing, and attentive as he moves through life.
- TSTodd SalterSep 21, 20235.0Our daughter loves her teachers Ms Eason and Ms Brown! You can tell they truly care about their kids. The support staff is very friendly and great with her as well. We highly recommend Primrose Downtown!!
- TJTraveling Cup O’ JoeJan 13, 20181.0If you’re thinking of sending your child to this school, please DONT! This school is atrocious. Don’t let the new and fancy decor and paint make you believe otherwise. They lie and tell you what you ant to hear when you have a concern. The turnover rate is insanely high. My children never had a consistent teacher. There were always WAY too many children jammed packed into those small rooms. There were many times i’d pick up/drop off my child and they had combined because they don’t have enough staff to meet their ratios. Administration doesn’t care about the wellbeing of the children, but more about their bottom line. I understand that it’s a business, but they should care about the children that are already enrolled before adding new children to the center.
