- KBKarl BrunsAug 11, 20251.0Like other 1-star reviews here, we were very happy with Primrose -until we weren't. The staff, communication, cleanliness and photo updates throughout the day were all great. Everything changed when the owner, Lauren put a target on our backs. Over the coarse of several conversations over several weeks, she grew increasingly aggressive, disrespectful, and unprofessional towards my wife and me. I have NEVER had someone talk to us or treat us the way that she did as a customer. After being forced to find another daycare less than a week before the new school year, we started meeting other Primrose refugees that have had similar encounters. Worse than the level of disrespect was that she continued to move the goal line on us as we made efforts to meet her "requirements" which we have since learned aren't required in other daycare facilities. I have nothing but positive things to say about Primrose overall but I cannot advise anyone to attend the Downtown or Midtown locations simply due to the owner. My review is not in disagreement with her policies themselves, but is specifically in reference to her treatment towards us as customers and her complete lack of professionalism. This is exactly what has been echoed from other parents as well as other directors locally.
- CBCallie BrunsAug 11, 20251.0For all of you Mom's out there looking for daycare for your child-I would highly recommend that you do not consider placing your child here. We had our little girl here for a year and it started off really well-we were impressed with the teachers and felt like she was well taken care of. It was not until close to the end of the school year when the owner (Lauren) started to get involved with some things that were already set up and approved for our daughter at the beginning of the school year. Once she got involved, my Husband and I felt that we had targets on our back and where blown away with the way we were treated by Lauren. To say it was unprofessional is an understatement, it was so bad I was sick to my stomach thinking that my child was in her "care" with the growing fear that she was going to take her anger that she had on us out on our daughter. She decided to take matters into her own hands and we received an email on a Tuesday informing us that Friday of that week would be her last day of care and kicked us out of the program, leaving me with three days to find a new daycare at the beginning of the school year. The reality is, Primrose might market themselves as a "caring and supportive" daycare but they are the opposite. They have a long waitlist and the reality is, if you raise concern or attempt to advocate for your child, Lauren will get fed up with you and kick you out of the program with little notice, just like she did with us.
- NSNick SartonMar 25, 20255.0We absolutely adore Primrose! Our son is thriving, happy, and adores his teachers so much! His teachers (Ms. Cely, Ms. Amanda, and Ms. Alboni) are unmatched in love, professionalism, and getting our child engaged. This will be the best decision you could make for your kiddo!
- HMHunter MorrisDec 17, 20245.0The teachers and curriculum are wonderful. We love our class and or classmates!
- JCJessica C.Jun 30, 20225.0We enrolled our daughter at Primrose Midtown in 2018 before they opened. Our daughter started there at 5 months old. She’s our first child so I anticipated a lot of fear and worry in leaving her at a new place with strangers. The worry never came! My daughter was so loved, well taken care of, always clean and happy at pick up and as she got older she’s always been happy to go to “school”! We love that they have an app and we get lots of notifications and pictures throughout the day to keep up with what she’s eating, drinking, learning(and even bathroom breaks/diaper changes). I will say that there has been a fair amount of turn over during our time, but we’ve always been notified of new staff and my daughter has had an easy time connecting with new staff because I think she just feels safe there. As she’s gotten older(3.5 now) and we’ve gotten out of the pandemic, we’ve seen much more consistency in the teachers. Primrose midtown provides all snacks and meals which was a big deal for us and makes mornings so much smoother. Drop off is 6:30am and pick up is 6 pm and while we’ve never taken advantage of the early drop off, the late pick up has saved our jobs! Primrose Midtown was also one of the only daycares in the area that remained open during the pandemic. They don’t follow Greenville county school schedules and overall just never close. We feel so supported as working parents and have never had a surprise closure. Over 3 years of uncertainty in our schools and daycares in the area, Primrose has been something we’ve been able to rely on. We’ve enjoyed our time and would 100% enroll any of our future children.
