  Horrible place. I would never recommend taking your kids here. They let good employees go while keeping the ones who shouldn't be there. Don't base your decision solely on the Facebook reviews—what really goes on behind closed doors is appalling. Parents deserve to know the full picture before trusting this place with their children. I have had concerns about my experience with this center. The new director has not given me much confidence, and some of the decisions and interactions I’ve witnessed have left me questioning the overall management and communication. She seems a bit delusional...and the other ones go right along with her in that category. I have also noticed a staff member who has appeared to have red eyes on multiple occasions, which raised concerns for me about possible impairment while working. I cannot say for certain what the cause is, but it was something that made me uncomfortable. There are also a couple of younger staff members, including those I believe work in Early Preschool, whose attitudes have come across as unwelcoming and unprofessional at times. I also find it concerning that I was unable to leave a review on their Facebook page, so I decided to share my experience here instead. I hope the center takes parent concerns seriously and continues working toward providing a safe, professional, and positive environment for the children.

  I filed a complaint with Virginia Department of Education about this school. I enrolled my son at Primrose School at Ironbridge Corner expecting a safe and supportive environment. Unfortunately, my experience was very disappointing. Over an extended period of time, my son repeatedly reported being pushed, scratched, hit, and having his fingers bent backward by other children. In one incident, he complained of thumb pain for several days afterward. More recently, he reported being tripped, held down, and having multiple children pile on top of him, resulting in neck pain. I also became concerned about bathroom privacy. My son told me that other children would open the bathroom door while he was using it, to the point that he sometimes avoided using the restroom and would have accidents instead. As a parent, it was troubling to hear that he did not feel comfortable or safe using the bathroom at school. I raised these concerns multiple times over the course of more than a year, both in person and by email. Despite repeated reports, the incidents continued. I was often told that the children involved were friends, that it was rough play, or that staff had not observed the incidents. What concerned me most was not only the repeated incidents, but that my son eventually became reluctant to report problems and would sometimes hide incidents from me. He also began bringing home aggressive behaviors that he said he learned from other children at school. After many attempts to work with the school and repeated assurances that the situation would be addressed, I lost confidence in the school's ability to provide a safe environment for my child. I ultimately made the difficult decision to withdraw him from the program. Every family's experience may be different, but based on my experience, I cannot recommend this school.
