Wonderful teachers, leadership, and a great environment. We have sent all 3 of our kids to Primrose and are so glad that we did.

This kindergarten is wonderful! All of the teachers are kind, caring, and deeply dedicated to education. As a native Japanese speaker, I struggle with English and can find communication challenging at times, but the staff is always thoughtful, attentive, and supportive. The educational curriculum is fantastic, and the facilities are clean and well-maintained. On top of that, the school provides meals that are not only delicious, but also well-balanced and health-conscious. I couldn't ask for a better environment for my child!

These recognitions mean our curriculum, teaching practices, health and safety procedures and family partnerships are regularly evaluated against outside standards and re-evaluated on an ongoing basis to stay current.

Each day, our caring teachers combine structured learning, purposeful play and rest into a rhythm suited to every age group, integrated with circle time, small-group lessons, Children’s Choice Learning Centers, meals and rest.

School readiness begins in our Infant program and grows through every stage of our Balanced Learning® approach, with each year building the academic, social-emotional and life skills children need for future success.

Using balanced assessments and ongoing teacher observations, we monitor each child’s development, individualize learning experiences and partner with families through regular communication to support a confident transition to kindergarten and beyond.

Our playgrounds are carefully monitored to ensure children can explore, play and learn safely. Staff remain actively involved in children’s play experiences, perform daily safety checks and maintain constant supervision. Daily safety inspections, ongoing environmental monitoring and weather-related precautions help create a secure outdoor experience for every child.

Yes, we offer before- and after-school pickup from the following schools: Bailey, Bishop, Deer Run, Eli Pinney, Glacier, Wyandot, Indian Run and St. Brigid.

Smaller ratios mean more one-on-one attention, so teachers have time to get to know your child individually.

The state agency overseeing our licensing is the Ohio Department of Children and Youth, and that means our staffing, health and safety practices and classroom ratios all meet its standards.

We are also Cognia® accredited and Child Care Aware® approved. Both recognitions involve outside reviewers evaluating our school independently.

For any child with medical needs, leadership keeps an individualized care plan on file, so they know exactly how to respond.

Every classroom at a Primrose school follows a Safe School Plan built to help teachers respond without missing a step. Staff and children practice these drills monthly, and each school keeps its plan current so families know what to expect.

We use an app to keep families connected throughout the day by sharing photos, classroom activities, curriculum information, nap updates, and diaper change and bathroom visit notifications.

The app also offers two-way communication, making it easy to stay in touch with your child’s teachers.

In addition, we value open, ongoing communication and connect with families in person during drop-off and pick-up to discuss your child’s day, answer questions and share observations from the classroom.
