Relocating to Knoxville, TN we were faced with the challenge of finding a Pre-K program. After endless searching we were so excited to find a safe, charming and comfortable open environment at the new Farragut Primrose. The staff always has a smile and takes pride in the job they do and it shows. Our son wakes up excited to go to school and loves to sing his new songs and share his day with us every night! Thanks Farragut Primrose for making our transition back to the Knoxville are a smooth one!
