Parent Reviews
What a blessing Primrose has been for our son and us. Being in lockdown for the first 18months of his life we were worried he had already missed out on so much not being exposed to anyone his own age. In such a short period of time he has developed leaps and bounds and it is all a credit to the wonderful teachers and staff at Primrose Willow Glen.
We have fallen in love with Primrose and couldn't imagine our boys going anywhere else. From the caring and dedicated teachers, to the charming design of the school building and playgrounds, to the engaging curriculum, Primrose has been the perfect school for our young family. Mrs. Ayah is a phenomenal director who always listens to our needs and questions and truly cares about all of the kids. The pandemic has obviously been a tremendously challenging time for school administrators and teachers, but the Primrose staff has consistently done everything they can to keep our kids as happy and safe as possible. They are always going the extra mile to make school a fun and exciting place, whether it's having a classroom door decorating contest, celebrating multicultural holidays and traditions, or building an amazing pumpkin patch for Halloween. We also love that all the teachers and staff know both of our boys by name, and when we walk down the halls they always give a smile and say hi. That's the kind of place that Primrose is.
Our child started at Primrose in February 2020 starting in the infant class around 7 months, all through to older infants, toddler, early preschool and now in Pathways. Each step of her journey has been wonderful to see, from learning to roll, crawl, walk and seeing her conversation grow, all of which could not have happened without the thoughtful teachers at school. We could not be more thrilled having her in Primrose - we love meeting the families, the community and all of the dozens of activities/parades/events that the school organizes. We hope to see her doing well in the coming years at Primrose.
Primrose has been a great choice for our family! When we started, our daughter was mainly interested in climbing on the fire truck playground. Now, when we ask her what her favorite part of school is, she always says her teachers. They are kind, caring, and make sure she feels at home. She asks to go to school on the weekends to see her teachers and friends. At home, she teaches us the songs she learns and leads us in the Primrose poem before dinner. We really enjoy the neighborhood feel and appreciate activities like the pumpkin patch, holiday show, and family flu shots! We also love walking to school, rain or shine and can't wait to see what's in store in the future.
We've been a part of the Primrose community for more than 4 years now. It's hard to believe that our youngest is now in Pre-K and this will be our last year here! When you find a school with teachers your kids connect to, that you can trust with their care and education - it's just so valuable. We will always remember Primrose as an important part of their childhood.
Our child has flourished at Primrose since her first day. Everyday she comes home excited and happy- telling us about her daily adventures. Primrose is a place that nourishes her both academically, socially and emotionally. Furthermore, we have never worried one day for her safety. Aside from their superior COVID-19 protocols, they practice constructive encouragement for behavior change. We really don’t think there is any better daycare in the area. Primrose is an exceptional place and we are so glad for our daughter to call this school her second home.
