  We’ve had such a genuinely positive experience with this daycare, and it’s meant so much to our family. As a parent, it’s not easy leaving your child in someone else’s care, but from the very beginning, the staff made us feel comfortable and reassured. You can tell they truly care—not just about doing their job, but about the kids as individuals. Miss Lanisha has been absolutely wonderful. She has such a natural way with the children—kind, patient, and attentive, but also knows how to gently challenge them in a way that helps them grow. We’ve seen such a difference in our child since being in her care, especially in confidence and social skills. It’s clear she really sees and understands each child, and that means everything to us. What stands out most are the little moments—the way the staff greets the kids, how they take time to connect, and how they handle each child’s unique needs with thoughtfulness and care. They’ve been incredibly accommodating and always make us feel heard as parents. At the end of the day, we just feel really lucky to have found a place where our child is not only safe and taken care of, but truly known and cared for. We’re so grateful for everything they do.

  Primrose School of Arden Hills has been an incredible place for our family. From the very beginning, the teachers and staff created a warm, caring, and nurturing environment where our daughter Giovanna could learn, grow, and feel safe every single day. The level of attention, kindness, and professionalism from the entire team is truly remarkable. What makes Primrose special is not just the quality of education, but the genuine care they show for every child and family. They build a true community where children are encouraged to be curious, confident, and kind. Our family moved out of the state, so sadly we had to say goodbye. Leaving this community is not easy for us because Primrose has meant so much to our daughters and to our family. We will always be grateful for the love, guidance, and support they gave Giovanna and our youngest daughter Giselle as well. Thank you to the amazing teachers and staff at Primrose for everything you do. You are shaping young lives in the most beautiful way. Highly recommended to any family looking for a place where their children will truly be cared for.

  I have worked at the Primrose of Arden Hills/Shoreview as a Lead Infant A Teacher for over 2 years now, and absolutely love it! We have a wonderful owner who cares deeply for his staff and students, and makes certain we have everything we need to run smoothly day-to-day. Our Leadership team is top-notch! They are well qualified leaders who sincerely value the employees and their lives, and have a deep respect for what we do each day. Not to mention, they are super fun to work for and with! We have an amazing group of Teachers and Aids that really value learning and teaching the youngest kiddos. Primrose is truly a wonderful, fun place to work. This is a second career for me, and I re-entered the work force after being home with my own kids for 14yrs. Our Director was so gracious with me, knowing this was a tough transition for me and my family. Our site paid for me to get my CDA (preschool teaching licence), which was an awesome experience, and I highly recommend it! Our school has an excellent curriculum for every student enrolled, even our youngest infants have daily learning lessons, and it is so cool to watch/help them learn and grow in a focused environment. I would recommend Primrose as a place for employment to anyone and everyone who has a heart for children and their growth and development. And, for parents looking for a place for education and care for their littles, Primrose cannot be beat. Our curriculum is top-of-the-line, created by childhood development specialists, and encorporated by well trained Teachers and Aids who passionately love and care for children.

  After parting ways with our beloved nanny when my son was 18 months old, we opted to try a center/school for childcare. We toured several, but Primrose stood out in the friendliness of staff, organization by leadership and administrative staff, cleanliness of the building, intentional curriculum, and indoor gym (game changer for a little boy). One year later and we continue to be impressed! We recently started our daughter in the infant classroom and have had a wonderful experience. All of the staff, not just their individual teachers, know our children's names and clearly are invested in caring for and understanding them. The teachers are calm, compassionate, and patient. Teachers and leadership have been wonderful at communicating with us. We trust the teachers' judgement; we've asked teachers for input and advice several times and found it really helpful! We love all the "extras" that they do (family events, Grandparent's day, water days, etc) that make it clear that they are invested in family and having fun! We have said, many times over, how thankful we are for our children to be at Primrose.

  It is so important to have a place where you can feel good dropping off your kids for the day while you work. Primrose is that place!! My toddler loves it and is well cared for. Staff is very high quality. Five stars!
