Parent Reviews
We can't say enough about how much we LOVE Primrose! The staff and teachers are nothing short of amazing. We always feel informed and up to date with everything going on with our son. We recommend Primrose to everyone!
We recently moved to the Jacksonville area from Pennsylvania and have been wanting to get Logan into a Pre-Kindergarten program to increase his social skills as well as get him ready for school. Being unfamiliar with the area, I did extensive research and fell in LOVE with everything Primrose had to offer. My husband and I couldn't be happier with the VPK program. It's the perfect schedule for Logan. He is able to get out of the house for a few hours and expand his learning as well as make new friends. He loves to go to school each day, and is always excited to show us what he did. Everyone at the St. John's Forest location is wonderful. Thank you for teaching kids that school can be fun. We believe that's an important lesson to be instilled at an early age and that can be carried on for years to come. Thank you for all you do.Love, Chris, Erica and Logan Foresman
My daughter, Mihayla, has grown so much socially since being at Primrose. As I am a single mother this connection with other children and adults (teachers) is most rewarding. All of the staff are so personable. I for one love that extra classes are held there--- Mihayla enjoys PlayBall and Little Dancing Stars. Thank you Primrose!
We have 3 children at Primrose and I can't express enough how much we love this school. Our children have learned so much here, from sign language to spanish, the academics our children receive at Primrose are like no other. Our oldest daughter will be going to Kindergarten next year and we are fully confident that she is prepared to the fullest because of Primrose. The staff is outstanding, from the office managers to the teachers, they are all so easy to talk to. Our son, who is in the infant room, lights up when he sees his teachers and when our daughters come home all they talk about is their teachers and how much they love them. Leaving our children each day is hard enough, but having them at Primrose gives us a peace of mind knowing they are in good hands.
My daughter has been attending Primrose at St. Johns Forest for two years now. We love the family like atmosphere. Almost every teacher/staff at Primrose knows my daughter by name. My daughter feels safe and secure when she goes to school and that means the world to us. The curriculum is phenomenal, and she enjoys the teaching style. We have another daughter that is fixing to start and we have no concerns at all. That says a lot. I hear all the time that people don't like to leave their children in childcare and they feel bad. My child loves to go to school and when she asks in the mornings, "mom, do I have school today?", and I reply yes, her response says it all, "woo hoo". They must be doing something right!
I am a first time mom and I was very intimidated when starting at a new school. The staff at Primrose St. Johns Forest went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable (they even sent me the attached picture during his first week). They let me visit on multiple occasions and even sit in on some of the fun in my son's class. They do their best to involve parents in learning and I can tell that my son is learning a lot more than other children his age. I know every mom thinks their kid is the smartest, but Primrose has really had a positive effect on his language and communication skills. He loves to read and to play with other kids. Have you ever met a 1 year old who likes to share? Well mine does (most of the time) and that is because the teachers use patience and consistency to instill values that are molding my baby into an incredible child. Thanks Primrose!!
