The teachers & staff genuinely care about the wellbeing of the children in their care and they really help make the experience here very special.

  As a parent, I’ve been very happy with the school experience my child has had at this daycare. The teachers are caring, patient, and truly attentive to each child’s needs. My child feels safe, loved, and excited to go to school each day. I’ve seen great growth in their confidence, social skills, and love for learning, and I appreciate the open communication and supportive environment the staff provides.

  We’ve been so pleased with our experience at Primrose. The professionalism of the entire staff, the high-quality care and learning our children receive, and their attentiveness to our family’s needs have made us feel truly supported. It’s clear they prioritize both the well-being and development of each child, and they take the time to listen and understand what matters most to us as parents. We’re grateful to be part of such a thoughtful and nurturing community.

  We have really enjoyed our time at Primrose. The environment is warm and inviting, there is always someone at the front to greet you, and everyone knows our names. The communication from the leadership team is impressive and always professional, and the daily updates and weekly newsletters keep you very well informed of everything going on. The outdoor areas and playgrounds are amazing, and I absolutely love the little garden that the kids get to help plant and tend. My two year old gets to do all the “messy” things that I want him to be doing at that age (water tables, bubbles, paints, markers). My older kids get to code robots, do science experiments, and make some seriously cool art projects with all the amazing art supplies they are stocked full with and encourage the kids to use creatively. They have done a great job navigating the challenges of the pandemic and have also come up with some neat ideas to involve parents/grandparents in different ways, like inviting grandparents to read books to their grandkids’ classes via zoom, and gathering recipes from families and creating a recipe book that they gifted to everyone over the holidays. I also like that my kids get to be a part of their strong focus on community, with the various book/diaper/food drives they do throughout the year and their nursing home partnership. We love Primrose and trust them with our kids!
