- MBMohan BJul 18, 20255.0Thank you so much for the love, care, and guidance you’ve given Vian during their time at your preschool. We’ve seen so much growth, joy, and learning, and we truly appreciate the nurturing environment you’ve created. Truly appreciate it.! Big shout to all the teachers and staff special mention to Miss Tyler
- BMBethany MeridaAug 29, 20231.0I would give zero stars if I could. I went through the registration process turned in everything asked for, I bought 6 school uniforms required to attend. My son went yesterday as a discovery day to be called by the director at 7:39 saying they filled his spot. My son was already dressed and ready to walk out the door. Obviously this is a school run by people that only see dollar signs and do not actually care about the kids. Now at last minute I have to find another school for my son because I already took him out of his other school
- LMLisa MathewsSep 1, 20205.0As a teacher and grandmother to 2 children that attend this school, I have had nothing but a positive, loving experience. They are flexible with our ever changing schedule and consistently provide top quality care.
- JLJoseph LittleSep 1, 20205.0About every other week my wife & I host our grandchildren with a mid-week sleep over. When we arrive at Primrose School there is never an issue; the staff understands their role and the COVID-19 protocol. The grandchildren (we have 2 at Primrose) are delighted to see us, they've had a wonderful day. The following morning our grandchildren are happy to return to school to see their friends and teachers. Again, a well organized reception area at the main entrance welcomes our grandchildren with smiles and encouragement. Primrose School, thank you for being there.
- ADAshley DavisAug 27, 20201.0My daughter attended this school for a year and 3 months. During her time there she had 5 different incidents of where she was not being supervised. The last incident resulted in my daughter being bullied and robbed of her jewelry by 2 much older kids. When I brought this to the attention of the director, all she did was offer an apology. I went on to even contact the owner who also downplayed the situation. My daughter was discredited and I was left with no other option but to involve the police. The school’s main concern was returning my daughter’s property versus addressing the lack of supervision. Her unsupervised incidents included her being left in a wet bathing suit for the entire rest of the day. She wet herself which ran down into her shoes and socks, which once again she was left this way all day. She cut her hair with scissors in 4 different places. She was being bullied and crying in class, which I was not informed of. All of these incidents were brought to the attention of the school by ME. This is definitely not a place I would trust to leave my child.
