- CCCJun 9, 20251.0At first, we thought we hit the jackpot with this daycare. Outwardly, this seemed to be the Harvard of daycares, but our experience was unfortunately not what we expected. One of our kids was told by a tenured, adored teacher by the Director (because she loves the Director’s daughter who’s in the classroom), that my child was a “bad kid”. I am certain my child, who was 3 at the time, did not deserve hearing that, and whatever else he experienced that I was not aware of. They later suspended him for behavioral issues and we ultimately decided to part ways with the school. He was very mild-mannered for a 3 year old boy, and I’ve heard from numerous people that this daycare favors girls. I have experienced this myself as well. We have also had unfortunate experiences there with our infant. Overall, I don’t think my kids were in physical danger, and if you have a sweet little girl it will probably be a great place for your family. Otherwise, I would not recommend it. I generally avoid writing negative reviews, but this place brought us countless heartache worse than the little snippets I’ve shared here. Management will likely provide a canned response with an apology for my experience coupled with perhaps a passive aggressive undermining response. To current Primrose staff reading, save your breath unless you wish to confirm you’ve replaced your Director. There are many other daycares in the area that are fantastic and we’ve had wonderful experiences with.
- SPShaelyn PorterNov 1, 20235.0I LOVE Primrose Academy of VB South! I was so sad we had to leave due to our move. I honestly cannot thank the staff at this daycare enough for how much they love and cared for my little boy. They always kept his well-being and safety in mind. I was a nervous wreck originally putting him into a daycare but the peace of mind I received from Primrose made it such an easy transition for both of us. Since day one my boy was already learning new things and having a great time at daycare! He would come home with paintings or singing songs! I cannot recommend Primrose Academy enough! 10/10!!! I’m gonna miss seeing the staff! Thank you again for caring for my boy!!!
