The teachers are very caring and accommodating. They always greet myself and my child warmly. They do a great job communicating with me through the app and in person on his needs and how his day was going. I love receiving pictures throughout the day of my little guy!

Primrose has been a blessing to our three babies. The staff at Primrose have given them the love, attention, and structure they need to thrive, and they have demonstrated the flexibility to adapt to the individual needs that each kid brings. We also love the community feel Primrose helps foster with all the extra events. This allows us to have peace of mind knowing our kids growing up with other good kids and also helps us get to know other families and build our community network.

We have confidence in the love and care given to our boys at Primrose. Every day, regardless of the teacher, they can greet our children by name. There is enough structure to create order, but the kids are still encouraged to make their own choices and have fun.
