Primrose downtown is an excellent child care institution. The care and attention to detail my children receive here are so appreciated. My son is potty training and he has gotten so much better with going to the potty and eliminating accidents since attending this school. The staff is always available to answer any questions and never make you feel like you are bothering anyone.

We chose Primrose Schools for mainly 2 reasons the accessibility to my work also downtown and the curriculum for its students. But we quickly realized there were so many other reasons to love Primrose schools, especially including its staff. The teachers are so personable, professional, and confident. They can command a classroom and respect the kids at the same time. My kid has been going to primrose for about 2 years and in that time, he has learned to walk, talk, and express opinions. The teachers have commented on how much he's grown and how fun it has been to watch. I have to give a special shoutout to Ms. Morris, Ms. Patrick, and Mr. Blake for always being above and beyond teachers during this time.
I have been impressed with the programs and curriculum Primrose has provided. My kid comes home telling me about electricity and recycling, or how plants grow or about a story they read in class every day. He thrives in their academic environment. Primrose has been such a support in my parenthood journey and I would recommend it to anyone who needs an elevated daycare experience.
