- KEKelly ErbDec 2, 20255.0As parents of three children, we’ve had all of our kids enrolled at Primrose School, and we can confidently say we have zero regrets. From day one, the experience has been exceptional. What sets Primrose apart is the personalized care they provide. Every child’s needs are met with attention and compassion, making it clear that this isn’t just a daycare, it’s a true early education environment. The teachers (yes, we call them teachers because they truly are!) go above and beyond to nurture and educate. One of the biggest things we appreciate is the low staff turnover. It’s rare to find a childcare center where the same smiling faces greet your kids every day. This consistency builds trust and comfort for both children and parents. Primrose has also taught our kids great manners, social skills, and a love for learning. The staff genuinely cares for our children as if they were their own, creating a safe, loving, and structured environment. If you’re searching for a high-quality daycare or preschool that combines education, care, and character development, Primrose School is the place to be. We couldn’t recommend them more!
- KHKristin HugginsNov 24, 20255.0We love it at Primrose. We have a good comparison having been with other private preschools for the last 10 years. They difference is noticeable. It feels like my child is in a school setting, learning at the forefront, versus a day care. I love the centers, cleanliness, teacher to student ratio. The amount of work we get to see brought home. The size of classrooms. Every administrator and teacher is so friendly and it just feels so full of love and care all the time.
- BBBecca BushOct 17, 20255.0Our son has been at Primrose for over 3 years from young toddler up through kindergarten. We have loved Primrose. The teachers, admins, and chefs have all been great with both our son and us. We appreciate the communication we get from the school. Now that my son is in kindergarten, I can see how much and how quickly he is learning and I'm grateful for his time there!
- AEAlysia EastOct 17, 20255.0Our oldest has been attending Primrose Shady Hollow for 1 year and our youngest for 4 months. Both of them have advanced academically and socially since attending there regularly. They enjoy going every day and sometimes aren’t ready to leave at the end of the day. Staff members are bright, smiling, kind, and patient, when we know the job is challenging. The administrative staff plans organized and well thought out events. We are really thankful to be a part of the Primrose family.
- AEAmanda EmmonsOct 17, 20255.0Primrose is the third daycare we have tried with our son and we LOVE it here! We have been here for a year now, but wish we would have started him here earlier. Everyone that works here is so nice and you can tell they genuinely care about all of the kids enrolled there. Highly recommend!
