- NWNicholas WilhelmSep 14, 20255.0Primrose has been such a blessing to our family! Our daughter is a social butterfly and has thrived under the loving guidance of her teachers. The Primrose curriculum is a great balance of structure and loving encouragement for her hungry mind! We are also deeply touched by how accepting and supportive our Primrose family has been of our son with autism who had a great summer in the Explorer program this year. Being in classrooms with neurotypical peers is so helpful for his social development, and we hope his unique gifts and empathetic personality is beneficial to those in his midst as well. We love our Primrose family. It has provided much-needed respite and nurturing stability in our otherwise hectic lives. If Primrose extended their curriculum from K-12, we would never leave!
- LMLauren MacGibbonJun 25, 20245.0We are so thankful we found Primrose when we moved back to Waco in 2020. During a very difficult time between moving, the pandemic, and finding a loving place for my children, especially my son, to be welcomed into we couldn't have asked for a better school. My oldest daughter thrived in their preschool program and was more than ready to start kindergarten. She made many long lasting friendships there that we are still connected with today. My son has Down syndrome and we knew that his needs were difficult to accommodate but Primrose and their staff went above and beyond to do so. They worked with me to allow therapists into the school during the week, and they were open to discussing unique ways of teaching him that didn't always conform to their curriculum. They included him, and gave him a loving environment to thrive in for 4 years before starting Kindergarten this past fall. We always recommend Primrose to new families and love to see their program growing and flourishing.
- SRSalina RodriguezJun 21, 20241.0I was going to wait until my children no longer attended. But, I decided it cant wait and I’d rather warn people before they make the same mistake I did. My daughter attended here first. Mind you she has since been diagnosed with autism and a majority of this has happened before her diagnosis. They have held my daughter back two classes and we will likely have to work even harder with her to get her caught up because of it. She was potty training fairly well until we moved up a class. She started regressing for whatever reason and her constipation got really bad when I say bad I was having to dig her poop out. We have since resolved the problem, and are working towards getting back to where we were. They pushed her to that point though and dismissed my advice I had for her because she is speech delayed and has sensory issues. What do I know I’m just her mother. Autism and speech delay does not equal intellectual disability, but they have treated her that way from the beginning. The front staff is inconsistent with their rules and only choose what is convenient for them. They can’t keep teachers to save their lives. I could pay less for the nuns to take care of my children equally as good down at St. Francis. They made me pick up my son for possible hand, foot, mouth and Mrs. Renteria is said “I’m not a medical professional” well you’ve got that right but you also lack common sense. I had to pay and take time out of my day to take my child to the doctor for ant bites. YOU READ THAT RIGHT. Another instance was my daughter getting bit multiple times in a week which at that point this is when they were holding her back classes and all I asked was “what can we do to fix this situation” and Miss Wilma whatever her name is raised her voice at me and told me if I had an issue to speak with the director to which I did and my daughter got moved up. Let me see what else, oh they overcharged me daycares fees for months and I got a week and a half free for both of them because of it. And then when I told them about my daughters diagnosis and what our next steps were the big one with the huge glasses on her face said “well when is that going to happen” I DO NOT KNOW SWEETHEART YOUR GUESS IS AS GOOD AS MINE. Not “is there anything we can do to help Mila in the meantime?” And never relayed any information to her teachers. My advice fire the front staff. I would say they were a bunch of mean girls that peaked in high school Oh and your kids can’t go here unless they’re perfect or you will get singled out and bullied.
- MCMichelle CeballosSep 29, 20225.0I was afraid of taking my child to a new daycare after our first experience, which was not so great. When I first came to tour Primrose, the staff made you feel welcomed and everyone was friendly! The facility is always clean which is very important to me. Ms. Rodriguez has been a great teacher and has always kept me informed on how my child’s day was. I am thankful for the app & the updates with pictures, it always makes us parents feel great knowing our kids are safe at Primrose. Highly recommend!!
- MXMM XDec 7, 20213.0I'm not sure whats happened but this school year we have noticed a significant decline in professionalism and especially communication. It's still better than your average day care but definitely not at the level it was when we enrolled our child when they opened.
