- CDchocolate DropNov 10, 20251.0TERRIBLE!! staff looks very overwhelmed when I drop off , codes go unanswered
- AKAbbie KentOct 13, 20255.0Primrose at Johnstown Road has been absolutely amazing for our daughter! From the moment we enrolled, the staff has shown nothing but warmth, professionalism, and genuine care. Every teacher is attentive, nurturing, and clearly passionate about what they do. We've seen incredible growth in our daughter — socially, emotionally, and academically. The communication is excellent, the environment is safe and welcoming, and the curriculum is thoughtfully designed. We feel so lucky to have found a place that feels like a second home. Highly recommend to any parent looking for top-tier childcare!
- MMMarisol Allison (Missy)Oct 2, 20252.0Disappointing how even in a structured facility, they cannot consider being flexible and tolerating children who may need some extra attention. I don't doubt this facility loves to teach children, just certain children. My brother had a terrible experience here at this institution, and the teachers were more than happy to part ways with my family when we decided to move on. A child who has big emotions is difficult to manage at this institution. They are not equipped to help these types of children. I hope they consider the next child who needs extra help, that they will take the time to build connection and love instead of discipline and creating an environment where these children are the ones that no child wants to play with. What a disappointing experience.
- NMNicolas MillerSep 4, 20255.0The teachers and staff are so friendly and great! Our little one loves it there!
- JLJames LavengoodJun 16, 20255.0As a father who takes education seriously and believes in laying a strong foundation early in life, I cannot speak highly enough of Primrose School of Johnstown Road. Our daughter recently graduated from their program, and I can honestly say this has been one of the most enriching and positive experiences of her young life — and ours as parents. From day one, we were impressed by the thoughtful, well-rounded curriculum. It struck the perfect balance between structured learning and creative exploration. Our daughter was not only learning letters, numbers, and early literacy skills, but also growing emotionally, socially, and intellectually in ways that we couldn’t have imagined at the start. Every lesson seemed to be designed with purpose — fostering curiosity, independence, and kindness. The teachers here are nothing short of incredible. Not only are they experienced and highly skilled, but they are genuinely passionate about their work. It was clear to us that they knew and valued our daughter as an individual. They took the time to understand her unique personality, her strengths, and her challenges, and they worked with her — and with us — to help her thrive. It’s rare to find that level of care and commitment, and it meant the world to our family. Equally important was the peace of mind we had every day knowing she was in a safe, nurturing environment. The school prioritizes security, cleanliness, and clear communication with families — and it shows. As a parent, you want your child to be in a place that feels like an extension of your own home, and that’s exactly what Primrose School of Johnstown Road provided. We've seen tremendous growth in our daughter — academically, socially, and emotionally — and we credit so much of that to the foundation built here. She made wonderful friends, formed meaningful connections with her teachers, and developed a love for learning that we know will carry her forward. If you’re a parent looking for a daycare or preschool that combines quality education, genuine warmth, and strong values, this is exactly the place you want your child to be. We leave with full hearts and deep gratitude — and we will always consider Primrose School of Johnstown Road part of our extended family. – A very proud (and thankful) Dad
