See What Families Are Saying

Primrose is exactly what every child needs in their younger years. The staff is welcoming and caring every step of the way. Children receive the best care from the teachers while also expanding their skills in fine and gross motor skills. There is a perfect balance of learning, indoor and outdoor play, and quiet time. Both of my children have grown in their time at Primrose socially, emotionally, and academically, and I can’t thank the staff enough for the love and care we have received.

Primrose School of Shawnee Parent

Our near 2-year-old son came from another school, and we've been happy with the change since day 1. The staff and teachers are all extremely nice and have a genuine interest in his development. We can't say enough how happy it makes us that he enjoys and wants to be at school. He's learning far more than we expected at this age.
