Everyone is wonderful! We love all of the family events. It’s also so nice to get updates and pictures of our child throughout the day- especially when our son first started. We have loved how welcoming and patient everyone is.

We love this school so much!! I never thought I would be a “daycare mom”...I thought I wanted my kids to have more 1:1 attention. But limited babysitting options forced us this route and honestly, we couldn’t be more thankful!!! My daughter started here when she was 10 months old and the staff and teachers immediately made us feel so comfortable and confident in leaving her with them. They are so caring and attentive and know how to put you at ease because they truly love what they do! We now have 2 kids enrolled and as we continue to grow and learn as a family, I swear it’s like they’re helping all of us figure this out. My daughter is in the Early Preschool classroom and is thriving academically, but I continue to be amazed at how much this school has done for her social/life skills. She shares well, uses her manners, shows compassion, eats a variety of foods and has good eating habits like always sitting and eating at the table because that’s what she’s used to doing at school. She is so excited to go see her friends every morning and I just love watching how happy she is. My husband and I have considered moving, but we’ve decided to stay in Westerville because staying at Primrose Polaris is a deal breaker for us. So if you’re a parent who’s on the fence about daycare, go talk to the team and I have full confidence you will see how amazing this school and their teaching staff really is. Thank you to the Primrose of Polaris ownership and staff for giving my kids the best!!
